Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi DIB:

As I recall, she didn't say the brand name save that she paid $2000 for each, twice?  Sounds like she had a real thing for the sales man.

Just to set a frame of reference:  Consumer Reports rates dyson's DC21 a "GOOD" on carpets, "EXCELLENT" on barefloors, and "GOOD" on pet hair.  While the Rainbow gets a "FAIR" for carpets, "VERY GOOD" on barefloors, and "VERY GOOD" on pet hair.  There are 16 canns from $170 to $1500 that out score dyson's DC21.  Rainbow comes in below dyson.

You may recall that the HSN staff [2 ladies] demo'ed the DIRT DEVIL "Kruz."  And couldn't stop using it.  I bought and used one and found it okay as a straight suction cordless stick.  My dear Wife, daughter, and 2 grand daughters love using it.  THo, its 8 pounds, it cascades over floors effortlessly.  And does pick up.  With a nice size dirt cup.

Dyson celebrates 3 years with/on HSN today.  I guess this means HSN will refrain from promoting Hoover’s Fusion along with piling on and bashing Dyson’s price points too (as it has often and shamelessly done in the past).

The HOOVER YouTube Powermax Fusion demo on HSN is very impressive.  It is one of the best TV vacuum demoes I've seen in recent months.  Clearly matching HOOVER's FUSION against the higher priced HSN bagless brand on a dollar for dollar and best in value comparison without citing the other 's name.  Takes about 21 minutes to view.  Of particular note, at the end of the clip is a synopsis of the other vacuum products airing/aired on HSN with the number of viewings.  Look at the views for the HOOVER vacuum products vice the other brand.  HOOVER wins out by many powers of 10.  Not an indication of sales success per se.  Certainly if someone is interested in buying a product, they will more likely be apt to view it.   So perhaps there is a direct relationship between views and sales.  Worth watching and buying for $ 119 with free shipping.

What happened to the DC22?  The dealer dyson?  Didn't it launch at the 2009 VDTA way back in the beginning of the year.  Haven't heard anymore about it!   Best kept secret in the vacuum industry so far this year.

..and the rumoured self-propelled Dyson? The route prototype to testing to production can be long and unpredictable.
That's why many companies official line is to keep things hush hush until it's about to be available in the stores.

The 3 year HSN dyson celebratory show was a huge disappointment for me.  Switched it off.

Dyson Airmuscle and/or DDM DC22 debut on HSN late tonight/early AM tomorrow.
