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.

Cameron,

The consumer based sack-vac is near-dead in the U.S. and half-dead in the UK.  Let it go.

DiB-ster:

I recommend you go back and reread the ASA findings WRT dyson's grievance filed against EUREKA/LUX Intensity.  You should be very familiar with the ASA findings and rulings since you posted here.  As I recall, correct me if I'm wrong, the ASA after evidence provided by an independent industry expert and EUREKA/LUX ruled that with a full bag of dirt the Intensity outcleaned a dyson DC14 with empty bin.  Keep in mind, the Intensity is a lightweight vacuum, has one of the smallest dust bags on the market and it beat out dyson's DC14 , a full sized with 100 percent suction.  I believe by over 60 percent better in performance.  As you can see, dyson with 100 percent suction 100 percent of the time was acceptable.  Intensity with a full bag and considerably less than 100 percent suction was superior by 60 percent.  What conclusions do you draw from this DiB-ster?

I'm just asking for a fair shot at your style of capitalism.  Turn-a-bout is fair play...I'd love to hammer on the high priced sack n chokes and the men behind them as you and your buddies do here of Mr. Dyson and the men behind him.


Is that because you can't deal logically with the product issues and their pros and cons?  So it's easier to create villains and attack personally and professionally.

Merry Mollie Christmas to you,

Lol.  I'm goin with 100% suction since this is what the masses understand and the number one reason they abandon the sack.

Then please explain to the forum why the team of brain surgeons  had to cut back on the airwatts so the revolutionary cyclones a DYSON exclusive would not get overwhelmed by the extra suction. If it had double the airwatts would it have 200% of the suction all the time?.

Try and get your head around this before you answer.

It wouldn't to Dustmite if Miele's suction is greater than Dyson's from empty bag to full bag, it only matters that Dyson's suction is constant.    Dustmite has read Sir James' book, and he has been fully indoctrinated.  The only thing that matters is constant suction.

Are you finding that dyson DC07 and DC14 models after age are problematic?  With these pieces and parts falling off and loosening during operations?  Leading to dust and dirty air leakage into the room,  loss of suction, and just a complete nuisance with keeping them on properly for users.

Not sure of your specifics but I can tell you the so called LIFETIME HEPA filters do not last a Lifetime and when clogged the machines won't run. That's a pretty firm loss of suction right there.

These findings are the bases for the ASA warnings to dyson to cease and desist on the 'exaggerated claims' of No loss of suction and never clogs else suffer consequences.

For me this topic is boring and that’s why I have not even bothered to learn the math.  Another way to say it is...  I can care less and I bet 99.99% of the U.S. population can care less too.

I would like to talk about what I believe interests all who walk into an independent...  Why a vacuum that is considered ‘nothing special’ in Europe, somehow, someway transforms into an exotic and is priced as an exotic (at dealerships) after taking the boat-ride over?

Turn-a-bout is fair play.

If your referring to the Miele it's because: They are made really well. There are issues with cord reels and dust channels on some older models but the newer ones have addressed the problem very well. They are an Excellent Company to deal with and have a good concept of the need for Independents and the service they provide (albeit they are testing the waters of large retailers and their own website sales that are getting close to being a problem). They are very technician friendly, (some I could work on blindfolded). They are repairable. They have easily redeemable Warranties. Customers generally don't have to box them up, pay for shipping and wait weeks for warranty work. Most models are made in Germany where Labor, Environment, Copyright, etc Laws are respected. They are also tied to a floating currency.

The question is:  Do you really expect us to believe that you, of all, know what is of interest to USA indie shoppers?  

WRT your wondering how a brand is transformed magically by an ocean cruise, perhaps it's not the fault of the product that it is not valued and appreciated but the people/culture.  What do you think?  What does the Book say:  A prophet is not recognized in his own town.

You praise with adulation some Japanese customers/neighbors who get all warm and fuzzy inside over dyson's teeny tiny vacuum inventions.  Then laugh off the sophisticated value oriented customers who buy quality products with reputations for 20 years of service.  Where you stand is a result of where you sit.

Carmine  sorry it took a while to reply to your question. The dc07/14 has held up on par with machines of  the same build quality such as panasonic,bissell, dirt devil,some hoover machines, bottom end sanitaires etc. All in all the dyson is sealed up very well it will take a few more years to see how much fatigue under normal use the housings can take, the plastic [brittle problem] looks to be corrected. Their biggest headache is still in the brushroll, bearing department. A true circuit breaker set up in the dc17 would of been a big plus, but for some reason they just wont go all the way in making the machine user friendly, I mean why use a geared tooth belt and no true circuit breaker.For the price of the breakers its cheap insurance and makes for a happier customer.
