Hello M00seUK: If I recall correctly, maybe not, the nix on dyson's school at the particular location of interest in the UK was due to environmental issues and concerns by the local governmental authorities. Are these things that dyson and the locals can resolve mutually and/or deal breakers? Carmine D. I'm not sure of the finer details - Google News search is proving a pain to use at the moment. I understand that they still needed to address the concerns as before and that there was a public consultation in March of last year.

Hello M00seUK: You're perspective on personal product and company success is very different than financial success. But welcome. I like to see the numbers myself. Carmine D. T'is true. If Dyson was a public quoted company, I'd agree that the financials would be different.

Thanks M00seUK. Reading the locals' comments about Sir Jaydee's school plans and geographic location and about the new generation of vacuums is very insightful. I'd have to say based on these select few comments that the honey moon period for dyson in the UK is certainly over. The billionaire business man is no longer viewed as the little guy with an idea who makes good. Carmine D.

I believe you rang the death knell for Dyson by 2007. What happened? Hello HARDSELL: Good question. If the 2007 results I posted are valid [I believe the source is very reliable], it appears there are erroneous/contradictory financial results and sales data reported here recently for dyson. What happened? Is the difference the phenomenon of inventory on hand vice actual sales to customers? Seems like a very high inventory on hand which is entirely possible seeing DC07,14 and 15 models still advertised and sold. But I sincerely doubt, since dyson counts shipments to retailers as sales [which would include end of year dyson retailers' inventory on hand and unsold]. It appears from the data I posted that the 2 Million dyson units [approximately] are worldwide and not in the USA, as previously reported. [At $1B in sales using an average sale price per dyson vacuum of $500 the result is 2 million]. Don't know if the $140,000 in AirBlade sales are included in the $1B sales amount. Factoring in the percent of USA sales only, then the dyson vacuum market share in the USA [by units] is reduced from the 10 percent recently posted [according to NPD we were told], to probably 4-5 percent of total unit sales for 2007 in the USA. That's seems reasonable and unimpressive unless quoted in dollar terms. Carmine D.

Uninpressive as far as units sold. Coulld it be that the standard measure of counting units sold as success is out dated. Profits are impressive and more important. I thought you might have learned that when Hoover folded.
