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).

Linens-n-Things got the best of dyson.  Dyson came down hard on Wal*Mart for selling DC07-s with an MSRP of $399 on a roll back sale for $319 [20 percent discount].  LNT and BBB sell them for $320 for years and years as the normal course of business and get a pass.  Why?  Isn't dyson holding WM to a higher standard than BBB and LNT? 

Dyson is suing LNT now for non-payment.  Stand in line.  Dyson will be lucky to get pennies on the dollar in 10 years from now.

Dyson should have given the pass to WM and held LNT and BBB's feet to the fire.  If dyson did, you would see more of the dyson vacuums in Wal*Mart stores.  Not just one upright model intermittently over the last 6 years [and soon to be no more].

Dyson needed Wal*Mart to bring the 10 percent market share in the USA up.  Wal*Mart didn't need dysons to be the top retailer in 2008.  Best in profit.  Best in stock price.  Best in stock dividend to share holders.  In an economic slow down in the USA.  That will probably continue for 1-2 more years.  All the while not one dyson will be sold off a WM shelf.  That is hurting dyson sales in the USA and will for the next few years.

Are you serious in saying that WM does not carry Dyson in their stores?

Yet the WalMart website continues to carry the full Dyson line and even shows them as their best sellers.  Are you sure they won't be sold in stores or is it just your opinion?

Wal*Mart and dysons for you menshckins.  Most of the dyson models WM carries must be purchased through the internet site if customers order.  By shipping to the store of choice free or paying shipping costs.  The dyson models are not stocked on the WM shelves save one and that dyson is getting rare to find on shelves.  The exclusive DC07 Original.

The WM dyson exclusive Original DC07 MAYBE available on some store shelves.  This is the dyson that was part of the kiss and make up agreement between dyson and WM.  The WM Web Site admonishes shoppers to check the store location for availablilty.  The exclusive dyson agreement between WM and dyson expired.  Not renewed.  Why?   I answered that already.  2 year warranty for $379 on the DC07 Original.  5 year warranty for $320 on the DC07 All Floors.  Dah?  Which would you buy? IF you have $300 for a vacuum and are shopping at WM/big box stores for a vacuum?  It's a  hard one so think before you answer.  Here's a clue:  Fry's is currently selling the new DC07 for $289 with a 5 year warranty.  And many other retailers too.

Carmine,

FYI, my local WM did not have the DC07 on display, instead it had a purple (WM exclusive?) DC25 and these were stocked too.        DIB

Hey DIB:

How about that for late breaking news!  Wonderful.  What store location?

Still angry with WM now for 'shafting" dyson?

Did I read that WM will not stock or sell any of the new Dysons.

Hey DC18:

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 and less than 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 with all 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.  Not because Wal*Mart, the largest US big box retailer, didn't want the latest and greatest.  It did.  But it wanted to discount the old models to make room.  Dyson had a hissy fit.  And Wal*Mart kicked dyson out.  At least until dyson gravolled back.

The prices on these new DC07-s are dropping fast as well in the USA.  So are their refurbs.  And as you would expect, there are alot of dyson DC07 refurbs.

Carmine D.


You can't be serious.  Did you pull this information out of your Depends?  Or are you just looking at Oreck's inventory again.  I think if James himself were to comment he would describe it as a "complete load of bollocks".

The truth of the matter is that like any other Dyson, the DC07 and 14 can't be sold fast enough!  Just look at DIB's posting about the HSN-exclusive DC07 selling 10,000 units in one day alone.  One day.  Imagine that!  Dysons are sold within 60 days of production to both big-box retailers and independents.  After that they fly off the shelves as usual.  So no, the only Dyson models you see at Wal-Mart or wherever are current machines.  Produced within the past year at the earliest.

And no, the DC07 will not be "scrubbed".  Far from it.  Same goes for the DC14 and DC15 (if you are an independent you can still order brand new DC15 Animals).  Besides the HSN-exclusive model, the DC07 Animal will be sold through independents, and the yellow DC07 will be a mail-order-catalog version. 

There go your fairy tales again!

Here is the DC07 Original still listed on the WM website.  I was also at Wal-Mart the week before last and saw it on the shelves as well. 

The ONLY reason I can think of if the DC07 Original does eventually disappear from the shelves, would be due to what I mentioned above, and to make way for another WM-exclusive Dyson machine.

Hello Motor:

I heard BEST BUY still has unsold DC07 All Floors dysons that were dumped on it by dyson in the Wal*Mart/dyson take back in 2005.  Wow.  That was over 3 years ago and the WM dyson stock is still unsold.  Probably will be selling at huge discounted prices too.  No wonder HSN/dyson had to change the TV DC07 color scheme.  Never sell it for $379 if the DC07 All Floors are selling for $280 [before store discounts and give backs].  If the buying public only knew.
