Dyson's first retail store opens as part of a trial run
Original Message   Dec 10, 2009 7:58 am
Dyson opens its first pop-up shop today, created by the product company’s in-house team. If Dyson deems the venture a success, it will consider opening a permanent store.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

As I recall SEVERUS, years ago you called out Sir James for not following the ORECK business model.  What?  9 yeras ago?  Seems Sir James takes along time to get the point.  What is that they say about Englishmen and punch lines?  Takes a while for them to get it!

It takes a huge amount of money and resources to operate company stores.  I think Oreck and Dyson could make a nice partnership, since for the most part the products are complimentary.   Oreck could even sell little dust masks for bagless vacuum owners to wear when emptying their dust canisters.   I don't think Oreck will ever sell their own bagless vacuum.   

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable.  The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

As always, to each his own but association with Oreck I'd think has its benefits in that the name is very familiar in the American vacuum market. Please note that I have no data re sales but over time Oreck has picked up a number of vacuums that did not originate from it and kept them on its roster for long periods. Oreck's Dutch Tech canisters were originally branded as Philips for years in Europe. Philips, a broad scale manufacturer, opted out of the vacuum market.

Its orbital polisher is also an outsourced product. The Halo makers highly debatable product also has ended up in the hands Oreck. I can only assume that Oreck is garnering enough sales off the like to allow it great faith in what and those its name can draw in.

I would wonder about the "be true to your school" aspect going out the window were it not that both big box stores and independent vacuum dealers daily stock competing products on their shelves anyway.

Well, Miele UK have had their Centre of Excellence store since 1994!



AND............an 18 wheeler mobile warehouse/store with the latest wares.  It travels form the MIELE Hqtrs in NJ cross country making day/weekend stops at authorized MIELE dealers USA wide.  It is, as you would expect from MIELE, all top shelve, first class luxury accomodations and presentations.  All the MIELE products in a one stop and shop mobile 18 wheeler.  Smeared with MIELE art for products, brand name and advertisements.    The presence alone evokes buzz from all.  And always good for MIELE sales at the local dealers.

Can you tell us where the complaint department is? is it at the front or at the back ? This place looks like a hair salon, this looks like a photochop......

Now, now MOLE -- chic shopping venues don't have complaint departments but the more customer-friendly ones do make sure to keep smelling salts on hand in their First Aid kits for when they hit you with the bill.

A perfect opportunity for Oreck to add a freebe of value.  They could give a Dyson with each Oreck.  Customers would finally get a vacuum to clean with and let the kids play with the Oreck.

My 5 year old grand daughter, tall for her age and soon to be 6, uses an ORECK XL Classic to help her Mom with the cleaning of rugs and floors.  Great way to start the youngsters off on the right foot around the home.  Now her younger sisters try too, while the oldest who gives instructions.  It's a joy to watch.  They love their ORECK, so does their Mom, for obvious reasons.

It is great that they have toys to teach them the fundamentals of vacuuming.  Won't be long till they can use a real vacuum.
