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).

Hello DC18:

Thank you.  Dyson did the same with me here in the USA.  Emailed back quickly and said it would pass my recommendations/suggestions to engineers for future consideration [height adjustment for carpets]. 

Despite the critical comments on the shortcomings of the HELPLINE support and inherent design weaknesses of the DC07 pink with respect to its difficulty in use over my carpets, the dyson email was very gracious.

Hello HARDSELL:

I have and here's the story.  Bagged are the vacuums of choice for the independent vacuum stores.  Bagless are the vacuums of choice for the big box retailers.  Although there is a resurgence of bagged vacuums at all the big box retailers.  Especially the EUREKA Boss Smart vac upright.  More pervasive in all the big box stores now than one year ago. 

With regard to your dyson sales, talk to store sales people about the decline in new dyson vacuum sales.  I'm told that dysons are sitting longer and longer unsold.  Fewer consumers looking and showing interest.  Even less buying.  I'm told that the stores can't keep all the different models stocked and shelved.  Too expensive to have the dyson models sitting unsold.  If there is a dyson buyer,  he/she is confused and conflicted with all the different models.  They don't know which to buy and why?  Especially when plunking down $500.  They're fearful of buying the wrong dyson and paying too much for it.

Naturally the indepenents push bagged.  How else could the continue to sell accessories after the vacuum sell.  You have always been a proponent of an annual tune up.  All this isn't necessary with a Dyson.

As for the decline in Dyson sales.  Most consumers have recently confined spending to only the necessities.  Not much left after froceries and gas.

Regardless of brand the local big box stores have not replaced bagless with bagged in any store that I have visited.  I do understand that that is probably not true in LV ( or any palace that you may reside ).  I realize that you have probably convinced all to convert by now.  Careful though.  Remember how Dyson already made a clown out of you.

One thing I have noticed in the last year or so... The dealers who started when I started are no longer in business or don't carry the full "Dyson" line anymore. Most of us got out of the Dyson business for same reason.

What brands do you sell and what reason are you referring to about Dyson?

Hello HARDSELL:

We finally agree regardless of the reasons.  We can argue the specifics butas you say new dyson sales are off in 2007 and 2008.  Gas will probably go to $6-$8 a gallon at the current price of $140 for a barrel of crude oil.  Food prices will follow the upward trend too.  Why?  Inflation has reared its ugly head according to Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve.  No more interest rate cuts this year to stimulate the recession.  Dysons sit on store shelves unsold.  Retailers are cutting their losses and culling dysons off the shelves to make room for other merchadise and make money.

Regardless of the reasons, and we can argue the specifics, new dyson sales fell off in late 2007 and still way off now in 2008.  Gas will probably go to $6-$8 a gallon at the current price of $140 for a barrel of crude oil.  Food prices will follow the upward trend too.  Why?  INfaltion has reared it ugly head accrording to Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve.  No more interest rate cuts this year.  Dysons have sat and will continue to sit on store shelves unsold.  Retailers are cutting their losses and culling dysons off the shelves to make room and save money.

That is what I have been saying.  You try to twist it so everyone thinks that it is due to poor performance.

It's both HARDSELL: Fair to middlin performance at the highest vacuum prices and consumers' cutting back.  Put the two together and dyson goes to the mat with a one-two knock out punch. 

You're living proof of it.  A former dyson buyer and user.  Rave over it.  Won't buy another dyson now.  Returned the one you did buy because you were unhappy with it.  Went with a $299 Royal Eminence instead.  BAGGED no less!  Talk about doing the twist!

I am a former owner of many, many brands of products.  Only you have said that I would not buy another Dyson.  I only said that I would never buy another Hoover or Oreck.

Pay attention.

HOOVER is a best seller and ORECK has the lightweight and hotel motel market locked down.  They aren't depending on you.  Dyson is.  With supposedly 9-10 percent of the vacuum market in units, you let them down.  Bought a bagged Royal for $299 and sold off your DC07.  Nice twist.

And Dyson is not depending on you.  Final time.  I will buy another Dyson. At my convenience.

The fact that you use an Oreck as opposed to Hoover (which you sold) speaks how much you lied to past customers.
