Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson UK has launched (updated) the DC19-T2 which comes in standard and Animal models. New features on this model are:

Detachable Handle/Hose (allows click-fit tools to attach to end of the handle or hose)
Lightweight adjustable Wand
Dual Mode Floor Tool (replaces the standard 'flat out' tool which was on the original DC19 a return to the multi 'contact' head tool the DC08 and DC08TW used)

It has been re-engineered floor tool to remove more dirt from carpets and hard floors. It has the 'now' standard dual crevice and dusting brush tool too. Maybe the 'flat out' tool was not as popular on the original standard DC19!

See www.dyson.co.uk home page for first look!

It's not reading that escapes you with the dyson color glasses.  It's comprehension.  You're stuck in 2002-2006 with dyson flying high off the sales of the DC07.  It's ancient history.  Dyson has not had a successful selling product since its DC07.  Why?

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  Dyson can't fool vacuum customers twice.  Not even you.  You sold your DC07 that you received as a gift and used the proceeds to buy a bagged Royal Eminence.  With loyal customers like you, no wonder dyson can't sell it's latest and greatest.

Hi Carmine,

The site is Australian and the cleaner prices at about $501 in our money. Though they most make carerful note that electrical wattage does not count they do not bother to list the air watts the cleaner produces. Wonder why?

Also odd, they have somehow garnered approval from the national asthma society or whatever.

By the way are you aware of the price value comparison say to $89.95 around 1960 as opposed to today?

Best,

I think the DC19 T2 is the DC29 slightly re-engineered improvements over the existing DC19! T2 - take 2!!! Like the DC08 and DC08 TW (Telescope wrap) models. Yeah of late I do think there can be too many models in the line up! The canister\cylinder models especially in the UK is a good example of this in the Dyson model line up! What they have done of late though is within each model they have simplified the range take the new DC28 there is (well at present!) only too types 'All Floors' and 'Animal' which for me is enough!

That's amazing.  If I recall correctly KIRBY offered the refurb warranty for life at $12.50 in 1960.  Not sure what it is today.  I suspect $200-$300?  Anyone know for sure and want to share?

When the economy is booming, as it was, offering lots of variations on the theme for different prices is healthy.

When the economy is tanking, it's a waste of time.  And money from cost to produce, market and sell perspectives and from buyers'  perspectives.  Not worth the time and trouble and money.  Less is more.
