Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Ace,

Yes, I saw your link, thanks.  I happened to catch the broadcast live, I hope to see the DC24 demoed soon too.        DIB

 

Chalk up 2 more free DC25 offers in the same day, a $500 product.  Same marketing research firm for both [BrandnameRewards.com Promotions, a limited liability corporation based in Boca Raton, Florida] but different from the others.  This firm adds the "cyclone' moniker to the dyson DC25 model.

If my count is correct this makes 9 in 4 weeks.  Will I get 10?  Week ain't over yet!

The DC24 was launched on HSN.  More  "Dyson Innovations 2nd Anniversary shows" are airing on Friday and Sat.        DIB

As I said before, watch out.  They don't want your opinion, they want your MONEY. 

They don't care what non-experts have to say, James' opinion is the only opinion that matters.

Thanks for your opinion once again.  You are certainly a loyal dyson admirer and fan, which preempts you from objectivity.  My sense is the research marketing companies seek an honest broker who has no vested interest in dyson/dyson products.  [Did I mention I've received several telephone calls too for the same purpose?]

While I have the time and the wherewithal, unfortunately I do not have the inclination.  The dyson DC24 doesn't interest me at all.  Saw it, tried it, don't like it.  A downsized DC18 Slim which are $399 retail before discounts and incentives at the big box stores which stock them. 

By last count there are 5 different companies and 9 offers of a free DC24.

Hello DIB:

Cali was looking good as ever and certainly worth tuning in, but the only dyson was the DC14 with a turbo and an extra filter for $449.  And Dave did all the demo-ing.  Did something go awry on HSA again?

Carmine:  Yes, it looks like the last Dyson 2^nd Anniversary show was bumped and a cookware line called Green Pan took its time slot.  A HSN rep says they have sold over 1m Green Pans in 9 days. – And so Dyson got bumped (just a guess).  Both the DC24 and DC25 were demoed earlier in the day.        DIB

I have to disagree.  Carmine is the only one that has received this offer. They want his opinion.  Since he is wrong so many times they will know that all his recommendations will fail and they will not have to make the same mistakes.

Remember,  As a consultant Carmine recommended failures as opposed to Dyson and he has hated them ever since.

In that case I have to wonder if said offer even exists, especially since there are a number of posters here whose posts have been cached by the Google bots and can be easily found.  Even if it was/is spam I doubt it would be sent to only one poster.  At any rate, if I received a legitimate offer for a free Dyson of course I would accept it depending on what I had to do.  Hell, I'd even take a free Oreck, as shocking as that sounds coming from someone who hates Orecks. 

But you don't see that nowadays, especially considering that 99% of email "offers" are usually fake.  No one just "gives away" free Dysons unless the parties who made the initial purchase can be compensated for it (i.e. drawings and the like).  The machines have to come from somewhere, and be purchased by someone.

As far as failed recommendations go, at least the prospective customers who have come here seeking a recommendation know better than to take Carmine's rantings seriously
