In due time, all the numbers will come out.  Patience.

But since you asked, here is a number from the Federal Reserve to wet your appetite.  It was released on Friday March 13 accompanied by a full front page article.   Since WW11 the Fed has tracked and reported on the wealth of Americans every year.  During this time, its always gone up, year over year, save last year.  Total wealth of Americans went down by 18 percent for a net loss of $11 TRILLION dollars.  You know the reasons for the wealth [asset] declines: Home values plummeted, 401 K's tanked, unemployment rose.

Now to get a feel for the magnitude and meaning of this number:  $11 TRILLION.  It exceeds the combined total of the annual output for Germany, the UK and Japan last year. 

Since you follow the new auto sales, you know the sale of all luxury cars was down last year and many luxury car brand companies like BWM and even your fave Toyota reported losses last year.  They both are predicting losses this year.  It's called the "wealth effect."  When wealth is growing, US consumers splurge and particularly on luxury items.  With the steep losses in wealth, it now cuts the other way spurring frugality.  What I called in my synopsis of vacuum sales a retail phenomenon called "trading down."

If you didn't know all of this before Friday it is further proof that yhour brilliance can't shine beyond the cloud.  I believe there are now less than 800 billionaires on the planet.

We discussed the decline in auto sales months ago.  As usual you wanted all to believe that Toyota was the only manufacturer suffering.  All are still feeling the crunch as they were back then.

I never said you are right or wrong.  I simply asked for numbers.  As usual you can't provide. Yet you think the rest should.

Getting the numbers is the hard part.  Why?  If you completed your 2008 taxes, you know that the IRS extended the due date for mailing of all pertinent tax documentation from Jan 31, to Feb 15.  Something about a Stimulus Package that caused the dealy.  Considering it was a Sunday and the next day an official Holiday, the real due date was Feb17.  This in turn extends all reporting dates.  Like the requirement for publicly held companies to file financials for 2008 by March 31, 2009.  Privately held companies are even longer.  Recall dyson issued 2007 financials in November 2008.  A luxury of being owned by one person who does not share data unless it is spun to his and company's best light.  Then once all the data is individually reported it has to be collected, verified, compared and reported.  Takes time.   But it always comes out sooner or later.

PS:  I am retired and haven't worked in/for the vacuum industry in over 2 years.  I have no inside information, no more professional connections and no business contacts.  I spend full time in enjoyment watching and assisting my 3 grand children grow up and occasionally mentoring them with their vacuum interests, among other matters of importance to little ones.  And occasionally spend a few minutes a day posting here for the benefit of others.

Only thing you are smoking is a double bong!  The fun is watching you run for cover when you get caught.

DC18,

The DC26 use a carbon brush motor.  The DDM was said to be noisy [costly too].

Look closely at the ball (hemisphere wheels) at the floor tool/pn, - very innovative. There is a video (below) of it's development on the Japanese DC26 web page.

Thanks DIB for the info.  Thought it might use a carbon brush motor!  Although I believe they are trying to work on more smaller, quieter, powerful versions of the DDM!  Do like the new floor tool, looks air driven not motor driven?   Very different to the ball on the motorhead power nozzle!

P.S. We now at my place of work have Airblades installed!  I think they are the new AB02's not the AB01's!!

DC18,
The hemispherical wheels/ball look like they steer the nozzle well.

The nozzles are air and motor driven.  The Motorhead uses a Telescopic Wrap system.

On a “cool factor” rating, IMO the DC26 is just as cool as the DDM DC22.  Sir James is on the attack of late by out-inventing his *enemies and rivals.

The Airblade’s are great.  Folks like to comment on them as you’re drying your hands.

Forbes said that in the recent edition of the Richest in the World.  Down over 300 from 2007.  You know any one who was knocked off the list?  According the Forbes wealthy list editor, nothing runs more scared than a noveau riche who falls off the billionaire's list.  After being use to the perks and prestige, they can't cope with giving them up.

Closer to earth and home, according to the latest survey of the Spectrum Group which follows these matters, the number of millionaires in the USA in 2008 fell by 27 percent.  The total number of US households with net worth of at least $1 MILLION [not counting home of residence] sank from 9.2 M in 2007 to 6.7 M in 2008.  The population of millionaires is now at the same level as 2003-4, meaning the economic crisis has erased the millionaire boom of the past 5 years.

Use to be when old man Forbes was at the helm, a friend of mine, I subscribed.  Back then they said 2/3 of the Forbes subscribers were millionaires.  Wonder if the fallen still are?

I've always presumed that the AB02 was a modified AB01, with slightly a different build for some international markets. Is there any designation on the unit? I've seen some which state AB01 on the side.

Sorry M00seUK my fault I meant to put AB03, which I checked under the unit of one today at work.  On the UK Dyson Airblade the other week or so under the Latest News Dyson launch the AB03 which is a next generation Airblade but instead of being made from the original die-cast aluminium it is made from tough, heat resistant polycarbonate-ABS same found in Dyson Vacuum Cleaners.  So my works Airblades are the new AB03, but it not stated on the front or side only on the serial sticker\plate underneath!  They only have the 2 accreditations on the front.

Several of my closest friends were knocked off the list.  I was only $99 short of being on the list.  I may give up buying cars, mowers, golf clubs and vacuums to try again to get on the list of billionaires.

I have ocean front property on the north side of Las Vegas.  I will sell it cheap if you are interested.

Ah, right. Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I've noticed that models at some locations are made of ABS/Polycarbonate.
