Dyson vacuum & other vacuum related videos & photos...
Original Message   Nov 22, 2007 12:23 am
1)  Nov 21, 2007 James Dyson t.v. commercial parodied on Saturday Night Live.


2)  March 17, 2009:  While many independent vacuum dealers bad-mouth, lie of and/or dismiss James Dyson and his teams contributions, many others champion the man.  Watch James Dyson in his element - in his Malmesbury Headquarters.  NBC’s “Today Show”  http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=71fa9222-10d2-413c-bf31-0007895697ac


2)  Older video news:  I could not resist...  A Hottie car-news chick mentions the rumor of Dyson working with car makers, and Oreck gets a mention too (funny).

Like I said, it's the normal course of business.  The DC07, to answer Matt, stayed the course not because of its popularity.  It's not that good for rug cleaning.  Evidence: Kapoc rug test.  Mediocre  Consumer Reports ratings especially for carpet cleaning. 

There's just so many DC07 and 14-s that were made and sold to big box retailers that are still on shelves and warehouses unsold after 6 years.  Plus dyson adding new models every year competing for sales of these old models.  [The reason Wal*Mart never carried the dyson line.  But reluctantly agreed to exclusive models which struck out 2 times, 3 if you count the DC07 All Floors].  The prices on these new DC07-s are dropping too as well in the USA.  So are the refurbs.  And as you would expect, there are alot of dyson DC07 refurbs.

Everyone but you said it was the normal course of business.  If the DC07 is not popular how has it been a top seller for 6 years ?  No other vacuum has as many positive consumer reviews. It has been the standard by which you have compared every vacuum for years. 

Yes. Kapok, the most common thing vacuumed in our homes.  No way is there a 6 year old vacuum on the floor or in the warehouse of a big box retailer.  They would quit ordering after the first year and transfer them to stores where they are selling.  Do you think the bought a 6 year supply?  Do you think that Target would continue to sell the red DC07 if they had DC07's in stock for years? 

I suppose that you have inside info on WM being reluctant to sell Dyson.

Settle down.  Have a cup of joe.  Your facts are all jumbled up.  DC07 Red at TARGET?  Do you mean pink? 

I never said a 6 year supply.  Are you delusional? 

I said after 6 years retailers still have purchases of DC-07's made years ago sitting unsold.  Why?  Dyson.  MAP and MSRP have caused the sales to languish especially as new dyson models were launched. 

It's caught up with dyson and its retailers.  Just like the pros said.  Now these old dyson models and new models are being dumped by US retailers.  Along with the refurbs.  

I have more information about Wal*Mart and dyson than most here and I've shared it many times.  Save Matt who knows but can't say.  And other retailers.  Do you have any specific questions?  Warning:  The information doesn't paint a pretty picture for dyson ahead.  US retailers are very worried about the political conditions in Malaysia.  As well as economic conditions here.  In fact, so is the US government about the former and should be about the latter. 

BTW, as far as dyson is a top seller?  Dyson claims 10 percent of the USA new vacuum market in the USA with 2 MILLION.  That's not top in the USA.  Not even close.  It had 8 percent in 2004.  Not much increase.

The fear on the part of the US government is that after 50 years the democracy in Malaysia is becoming unstable.  Add to it the subsidies on gas getting lifted recently and the people may protest and riot in the streets.  Not a good atmosphere for US and foreign companies there.

Before you ask DC18, no I haven't been to Malaysia.  But I know Malaysians here who go back and forth between here and there for many years.  They're worried too just like the USA.

No. I mean RED.  They began selling them in November 2006.  It was exclusive to Target.  You know the target logo is red and not yellow.

I never said a 6 year supply.  Are you delusional? 

Go back and read.  You said:  " There's just so many DC07 and 14-s that were made and sold to big box retailers that are still on shelves and warehouses unsold after 6 years ". 

Unsold after 6 years means still in the inventory.

I said after 6 years retailers still have purchases of DC-07's made years ago sitting unsold.  Why?  Dyson.  MAP and MSRP have caused the sales to languish especially as new dyson models were launched.

You stated just this morning that price reduction was the normal course of business.  Now you say they are just being dumped.

I have seen discounts on all vacuum brands recently.  Are all vacuums being dumped?

 I have more information about Wal*Mart and dyson than most here and I've shared it many times.  Save Matt who knows but can't say.  And other retailers.  Do you have any specific questions?  Warning:  The information doesn't paint a pretty picture for dyson ahead.  US retailers are very worried about the political conditions in Malaysia.  As well as economic conditions here.  In fact, so is the US government about the former and should be about the latter. 

You have lots of misleading information.  No need to share more.

Tell us what brand has more MS and a higher increase since 2004?

What did I tell you?  Have a cup of joe.  You're salivating from the mouth and seeing red.

A red DC07 from 2006?  Are you sure?  I'm not familiar with it.  Can you describe it in more detail?  Say comparing it to a DC14?  The red one that was called the Drive exclusively for TARGET.  [You'll have Matt mmc AirBlade scratching his head again].

You are not familiar with lots of things.  You just make them up as you go.  Just because you are not familiar does not mean it does not exist.

How much detail do you need about a DC07.  Red is a color and you should be familiar with it.

Better go back and have another cup of joe.  The first didn't do much good.

A red DC07 at TARGET starting in 2006?  That's news to me.  Now you have Matt and I scratching our heads.  Are you sure about being sure?

I tried.  No luck.  Computer won't compute.  Or TARGET won't hit.
