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.

The dc15 has a circuit board that controls the motor in the brushbar head,Its not a true circuit breaker,it has to be replaced as a unit ,the dc15 uses a gear drive to drive the rollor.

Hoovers dual V machines used a similar set up and are just as finicky and problematic as the dc15.The 17 was a step in the right direction with the timing belt with the teeth.

Its also not a true breaker but a heat sensor that  senses motor temp sort of like a thermal fuse line.Any way  it was a nice try.Ask panasonic how this worked out on the whispertones powerhead

Dib, I can understand your enthusiasm about your employer, but facts are facts take a dc17 and stall the brush rollor suck up a sock or rag into it. Please report back with your findings. Unfortuneatly in real world applications this happens a lot and damage does occur.

B.T.W how are the canister sales going? have not heard too much fanfare about them anywhere.

Carmine and Severus are right Dysons overpriced,mediocre performance, not user friendly,service centers are not there, With all the millions that Sir James has made you think its time to give back a little????????

Be sure that no one is wearing the sock.  Dang it mole. Do you want DIB to hurt someone?

Someone I know said they heard the store would be staying open, although there's no source to clarify that with (and said person has no connection with Dyson).

FWIW, in the states, stores have to enter and in cases pay in advance a portion of the lease term for store space.  If it closes, it will probably be after the lease term expires.  Store leases read that the tenant/lessee is still liable for the rent even if it closes before the lease term expires.

You have a point. Maybe Dyson had an agreement with the landlord to trial the site for a number of months and then the option to commit to a long-term contract if they decided to stay beyond that.
It's quite common to see retail units being advertised for short-term rents. For example the town near me has shop locations with leases offered by the week / month.

Thank you and one now for you.  Since my last post on visiting the dyson site, I purchased/installed a new computer to replace a 6 year old which lost its hard drive suddenly.  Using the click, drag and drop method you suggested I am able to view the other countries for dyson's markets.  Thank you for suggesting it.  Tho it didn't work at the time, I suspect due to the limitations of the computer, it surely does now.

Just curious on how well this dyson store is panning out.  Any news/updates to report here on the success of this concept store for dyson in the UK?

Bless you for the topic Carmine. I was much, much in need of comic relief today.

Check out http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/ AND be sure to turn comments "on". Things get interesting. From what I gathered, it was merely a temporary venture until January 25th of this year. I hope this is an error on my part.

Hi Venson:

We both read this the same way.  Gone out of business.
