Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

HI CARMINE

hahaha....i just go by customer  feed back...what i see/hear  at the shop..torture testing ..so it is what it is.

i mean were not the ones who are charging $800 for a $300 vacuum..[attack them]...that was bested by a tempo...

Hello 'turtle1'

Dyson product prices are and will continue their downward trends. 

Once very protective of MAP [broke off contract with Wal*Mart for lowering DC07 prices to $309 in 2005],

dyson allows all big box retail stores to advertise and sell 20-30 percent below MSRP now-a-days.  

Dyson does it on its own Web site [27 percent]. 

The downward spiraling of dyson prices in the USA by BBS is well underway.

No great shakes.  As you say, dysons are $200-$300 vacuums tops.

And even then, there are vacuums under $100 that outperform.

hi carmine

i couldnt agree more [tempo] . and all the people who once bought dysons are seeing thru all the hype and clever advertising

realizing that a $100  vacuum will outperform what  they were convinced was the best....has turned into a name  [dyson]

that is more trouble to own and keep up than its worth....if he wants to unload that inventory he has no choice but to keep them prices

coming way down....and even at $200 hes still getting outperformed by a far less expensive model...no matter what  type  upright/can

dyson has ,,the compitition has a far less expensive model that will outperfom it. .. customers will buy them up......and feel good abt it.

$300..at best? for now yes...but at that price point the compitition will only get worse for dyson,,as the comp will  also drop price...like i said

Have you ever had any experience with a high end vac?  It seems as if your experience is with cheap Tempos or other cheap hoovers.

Remember what I said about the Bismark.

yes sir...from time to time i have...nowhere near what you gentlemen have ...but at the moment its the tempos and the other cheap hoovers that are outperforming the dysons

....so none of the higher end vacs are needed....the hoovers seem to have it covered... but the hoovers and other cheap vacs

are used as a simple comparison...as in bang for the buck....consumer opinion/feedback....simple questions asked to the avg dyson owner.

or questions asked by consumers...why does my $100 cheap tempo last as long -meet or exceed a dyson in performance

 for less than a 1/4 of the price of a dyson ...?...and why are dysons so expensive....it has $100 worth of performance...

wheres the rest of the money go?...numerous real world tests have proven the cheaper ones  meet or exceed dysons performance.

the above questions are fair to ask...we agree to disagree/ freedom to have opposite opinions...and dyson has been given credit where credit was do.

We all, save you HS, understand "BISMARK" to mean that HOOVER always sets the top mark for the competition in the biz.  The gold standard of carpet cleaning at a mere fraction of gold's cost.  You can gold coat your fave brand and charge gold prices but in the end its a mediocre performer at best.  Jump ship while you can HS, dyson's ship is sinking fast.

hi carmine

ill help too....we have plenty of room on  'the other side' ....just follow the light.......SIR JAMES  and his  DUSTBUSTER can come too..

Hi turtle1:

He should take along 5 or 6 of those dustbusters, which he can't be sure does/doesn't have

a post motor filter.  Just in case he doesn't get a genuine 10 minutes run time from one/more.

Remembet the Brits sunk the Bismark.  Then they sunk Hoover.  I told you numerous times to get in the life boat.  You kept grasping at all those new life boats from Hoover and they sunk.  Good that you found the Oreck and stayed afloat. I am not disagreeing on the latest Dysons.  Remember I have said all along that they are following in the path of Hoover.  I find it amusing that thousands of actual users give the highest ratings to Dyson.  It is the indys of current and past that dislike Dyson because they can't profit from them.

If all those other brands were so great the repair shops would have to close for lack of work.

Sadly your vacuum judgment is flawed by those rose colored dyson glasses you're still wearing. 

Take them off. The DC07 is 6 years old now and dead in the water.  Never to swim again.   

All the wealth that James btained from the DC07 has been slowly eroded and undone on all the R&D

and unprofitabilty of all the dysons after.

I mentioned this to you several years ago [Januray 2007] when you were shopping for the Electrolux Intensity. 

It has come to pass HS.
