Venson,

With the exception of plastic ware (rubbermaid, tupperware0 the condesnsation drying works just great in my Bosch d/w

About the cost of bags, it is a well-nown fact that Electrolux mage more money off of bag sales than cleaner sales for a good many years.  A 3.00 tube of toothpast costs what, .25 to make? A 1.50 fountain soft drink is .003 or something like that? Everybody needs to be paid for his/her contribution to whatever the product is. I really get tired of people disparaging 'the middle man" . The wholesaler to the supplier to the retailer are necessary steps in the chain of distribution. Call up the Kirby factory and say "I'd like to but ONE Kirby, please, at Area Supervisor cost! Yeah, right! Direct from the mill or direct from the factory outlets are often not that much cheaper than discount stores because there is still a storefront to be mainatined, sales help to be paid. People walk into a 'factory direct' operation and expect the same help they would get in a full-service department store. If it's a factory direct operation you should have done your research, know what you want, and be able to say, "I want that one!" and hear "Yes,sir, will that be cash, check, or charge, and did you want the extended service plan for just xx.xx?


Hi Trebor,

I'm glad your Bosch is working you and I'm sure the company won't miss my money. 

Regarding prices, I have never said that I expect anything to be given away -- just to be sold with a reasonable profit in mind.  In past I purchased a new fully acoutred Kirby far below what the door-to-door guys were pushing them for and -- no -- it did not "fall off the truck."  I also got the new Miele at a considerable discount.  Persistence and adamance sometimes pay off.

By the way, I don't do expensive toothpaste --  I have been using peroxide and baking soda for years.

Best,

Venson

I like and admire the man Dyson.  His products [vacuums and hand blowers] leave alot to be desired from performance and price perspectives.  Just my opinion no offense to his admirers and fans.

Dyson DC25 to feature in this summer's Transformers movie

Dyson's product placement in TV programmes such as Friends and CSI has often felt tedious at times, but there's no doubt in my mind that it's been very effective at raising the profile of the vacuum cleaner brand since the DC07 launch on the US market. I even noticed the Dyson Airblade in the new Star Trek movie recently; a number of units can be seen in the background of scenes in the sick bay.

It's rumoured that the DC25 will feature in the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which is out this Friday.

As I kid of the 80s myself and a keen Transformers collector back in the day, this all sounds quite fitting. It's perhaps the 'Transformer style' qualities of the Dyson vacuums that endears a 'big kid' fascination of the vacs for me and for others.

Hi M00seUK:

Careful with the choice of your words, some may interpret them to mean that dyson vacuums have a toy-like appeal.   WRT dyson's Airblade I read recently that dyson secured contracts in 2008 with two major US vendors:  The LA Dodgers' Stadium and Carl Jr. restaurants in California.  Now may be the time to divest the hand dryers from the vacuums to the highest bidder.

The Dyson DC25 (or DC24) is indeed in the latest Transformers television trailer (and movie).  The trailer only showed 1-2 seconds of a DC25/24 “transforming” (it transformed very fast).

Like MooseUK said (and I’ve read online too), the Dyson Airblade is in the new Star Trek movie.  My guess is...  the producers asked and Sir James said yes to them using his products.  Perhaps MORE FREE publicity and exposure for Dyson.  Hmmm, do tired vacuums get much free exposure, press and television interviews?  Although I think Oreck received some free television press back in 1972.  And Miele?...  forget about it, the [U.S.] masses never heard of em.

I was recently watching a movie on TV shot in Europe, the UK.  A meeting was arranged in front of a vacuum store: An authorized MIELE dealer with a huge store front exclusively MIELE.  Somebody is buying the ONE MILLION new MIELES shipped from the German factory every year including last year in a global recession.  Certainly not the vacuum cleaner hoi polloi but the comfortable, striving and rich are purchasing MIELE's.
