We have heard rumblings from you for years that BB was pulling Dyson off the shelves. Ain't happened. You told us that they were being pulled from end caps. Didn't happen. You told us that Hoover would overcome Dyson. It seemed as if they introduced a new product every 30 days or so and never pulled the old junk out of production. According to you each new model would be the demise of Dyson. Didn't happen. Hoover had to sell. Dyson is not on the market.
HS:
The BEST BUY on-line site has added and culled makes/models. Next to ORECK vacuums which are now on sale at the BB on-line site, it appears the least carried are for dyson, while the most numbered are for HOOVER and EUREKA. Here's a synopsis by brand and prices from the BB Site: All the dyson prices are discounted from MSRP. The latest DC17 Asthma and Allergy which is certified approved by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation is not listed. The older version DC17 [not approved by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation] is listed for $400. Also the DC16, probably the worse of all the dyson rated products, is listed for MSRP of $149. Interesting? My suspicion is that BEST BUY, like the USA dyson site, is gearing up to make this item a giveaway. Possibly as soon as July 4. Of note is that the latest dyson DC16 with the motorized brush bar nozzle is absent [MSRP is $199] from the Web Site. If you combine the Dirt Devil and HOOVER vacuum products for BEST BUY the total is 233. Why? All under the TTI tutelage. That's alot of product. How many stores does BEST BUY have nationwide? That's alot of inventory of TTI vacuum product. What does NPD use as it's measure of sales? Shipments to retailers? Lot of sales of vacuums just to BEST BUY for HOOVER and DIRT DEVIL. Carmine D.

Hello Dusty:
Thank you for the correction. I was wrong on posting BEST BUY. You are correct it is Bestbuy.com. As you mentioned in the other thread, bestbuys directs buyers to products and retailers with the best prices. Correct? The bulk of the vacuum products advertised and trafficked to prospective buyers are from HOOVER. Dysons, save ORECK, are the least number and all are discounted from MSRP. Bestbuy.com's 2.5 stars for the DC16, based on 40 epinions, is the worse rated dyson. All retailers who carry the DC16, which retails for $149, may soon follow dyson's lead and discount the piece by $100 with another dyson purchase/giveaway? Quite possibly as soon as July 4. Like M00seUK said: Time will tell. Have to watch the events unfold as we officially enter the summer season, traditionally the worse time of the year for non-summer seasonal sales, like vacuums. Carmine D.

Best Buys in nothing more than a portal for Shopping.com. If you were to click on the Oreck link, the owner of Best Buys would get paid by Shopping.com for the traffic. The reviews on the site are pulled from Epinions.com and not from site users themselves. I don't believe the high end Orecks to be discounted as they can only be purchased from Oreck.com where all the other brands can be purchased from either online or box stores which explains the sub MSRP pricing.

Carmine D. BEST BUY on-line now carries ORECK vacuums. One talked about here the XL21 gets 4 out of 5 stars based on 40 reviews. The BEST BUY Site says the following verbatim: Carmine D. In the past few days you stated that those starr ratings are useless. That was prior to your being able to use them to your advantage. Think about it next time before you accuse someone of flip flopping.
