Hello DIB:

What do I admire about the tried and true vacuum companies in the industry that have passed the test of time?  Good question.  Simple answer, my good friend.  Let's start with this FACT:  They became and stayed successful without using gimmicks and false claims to promote/sell their products. 

And then add: I admire them too because they are the seasoned veterans of the industry.  The cornerstone and foundation of the very industry in which your fave brand is just getting started. 

And last but not least: Many of these companies, like TTI Floorcare of Glenwillow, Ohio, offer bagged and/or bagless brands and models in canisters, uprights, hand vacuums and sticks.  Why?  They understand very well that the majority [90 percent to be exact] of USA vacuum customers have a reportoire of household vacuum brands and products.  Not just one brand.  So these companies treat their rivals, some of which are related business wise, with the respect and dignity that they earned and deserve.

Severus,

When VAX took and fought for the right to use the Dyson creation, the Dyson phrase... “No Loss of Suction” am I being anti-competition?  I’m sure if Red thought they could get away with it they would lay claim to “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”  Trust me when Red creates something in-house they will fight for it and spend any amount of money doing so.

Ben Franklin (a gift to man) was courageous and correct about much.  Ben’s 2 primary innovations (that I am aware of) that he did not want to patent or hold back from being adopted quickly were - 1)  the lighting rod and 2) the cast iron stove.  And IMO, he was right and righteous in doing so.  But to apply Ben’s “ways” today would not be applicable nor necessary, unless the cure for cancer was invented or likewise.

Dyson has reversed engineered no one.  Dyson looks to and trusts in his and his peoples creativity first and uses expired patents second.

The majority of the science that goes into making a good vacuum is indeed very old.  Dyson has a business model and beliefs that are obviously different from some vacuum science.  He rose from obscurity overnight and became a billionaire from it, so who am I to argue with that (unless he asks)?

DIB:

I'll argue with it because it's nonsense.  The FACT is dyson floundered from 1979 until 1992.  He got nowhere with his bagless vacuum.  Success came after he won two huge financial settlements for almost $8 MILLION at strategic times in his business career. 

The first in 1992, enabled him to set up the factory in Malmesbury, UK and produce 2 dyson bagless vacuums in 1993: Upright and cylinder models.  And still he had problems. 

The second settlement in the early 2000's, enabled dyson to expand and relocate to the Malay plant [Southeast Asia with a majority of Moslems] and go global by opening new markets.  Nothing to do with a business plan and model.  

And finally the FACT is that BEST BUY management convinced dyson to launch vacuums in the USA in 2002, after the Malay plant was operational, not his business plan.  James wanted to wait. 

Tell us:  What does the dyson business model say about selling $500 plus vacuums in a bad global economy?  Maybe TTI Floorcare can provide a copy of theirs to James to follow?  Only if he asks nicely.

Carmine,

Would it kill you or put you out to do a fact check and get your beliefs in line with historical facts.  Your “dumb luck” business model you try to color Sir James Dyson in is as you say is [pure] nonsense.  Please demonstrate for us how easy it is to collect millions from corporations via this dumb luck business model.  And surely there is a dumb luck business school you could recommend to anyone without the sense to provide for themselves.

Hello DIB:

You call it whatever you will: Dumb luck, lady luck, blind luck, fool's luck, beginner's luck, whatever.  I prefer to call these FACTS the untold story.  Or the story within the story.  Why?  They are not mentioned.  Probably because they were never part of the business plan/model. 

I can say with absolute certainty that TTI Floorcare of Glenwillow OHIO will weather the stormy days ahead and fare very well business wise.  It has all the right stuff to do well in good/bad economic times.

Carmine,

I have been wanting a Lexus, BMW, Porsche, GT500 or one of many exotic cars.  I will make a trip to the dealer.  If they refuse to cut the price in half I will explain your philosophy that times are hard and they will likely go out business if they do not sell on my terms.

No different than vacuums I suppose.

Carmine,

“The untold story?”  ....as told by the supermarket rags?  Come on, the guy invented widgets that huge companies wanted but did not want to compensate for.   Dyson did not roll over as they thought and instead fought (paid for a lawsuit which in reality he could barely afford) for is property, they eventually compensated [Dyson] in the form of a volunteered settlement (aka a big fat check).  Dyson reinvested his compensation in his future...  Dyson LTD.

I have no doubt Red will become huge and with monopolistic like powers.

Hello DIB/HARDSELL:

Sorry DIB but no dealer in his/her right mind will gift you one of those brands.  Why?  Tell me HS, my good friend, would you, if gifted a dealer BMW, Porsche, Lexus, GT500 then sell it after 2 years just to buy a brand new Ford Fusion?  Not withstanding that money matters may necessitate it!  Do you understand now why the dyson campers are upset with you!  And you posted it here too!  

Dyson will most likely survive, with luck.  More probable as a niche seller.  TTI Floorcare in the USA and HOOVER Candy Group in the UK  will dominate the market for the common folk in hard times.   MIELE, SEBO,  RICCAR/SIMPLICITY and the classic rebuilts will rule for the high end quality minded buyers regardless of the times. 

The question that looms in the darkness of the uncertainty ahead:  Will your fave designer/inventor and so called overnight successful business man make the Forbes list?  Check the business model and see what the contingency plan says.

Hello DIB/HARDSELL:

Clever marketing comparison coming from a person who was gifted a refurbed dyson DC07 and sold it after 2 years to buy a bagged vacuum.  Tell me HS, my friend,  would you if gifted a dealer BMW, then sell it after 2 years just to buy a brand new Ford Fusion?  Do you understand why the dyson campers are very upset with you!  And you posted it here too! 

There are no lawsuits, big box retailers, and wealthy stock investors on the horizon for your fave brand to get cash for weathering hard times.  Dyson will most likely survive, if it's lucky.  More probably as a niche seller in vacuum markets dominated by TTI Floorcare in the USA and HOOVER Candy Group in the UK  for the common folk and MIELE, SEBO, RICCAR/SIMPLICITY and classic rebuilts for the high end quality minded buyers.  But, will it make the prestigious Forbes list?   Ah yes: The answer looms in the darkness of uncertainty.  Check the business model and see what the contingency plan says.

Carmine,  My DC07 was purchased new and in the box from Best Buy.  An Oreck dealer had to pay me out of his pocket because he lost the bet that we made.  You are dillusional to to think that it was a gifted refurb. 

If after 2 years I wanted a Fusion then I would sell the Beemer and buy one.  I give with love and no strings attached.  Therefore, the recipient of my gift can sell, trade or destroy the gift as they desire.  I would expect no less from one gifting to me.  BTW,  you are the only person who has made a comment on my selling of the Dyson.  Are you a Dyson camper?
