Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

1)  Nov 21, 2007 James Dyson t.v. commercial parodied on Saturday Night Live.

2)  March 17, 2009:  While many independent vacuum dealers bad-mouth, lie of and/or dismiss James Dyson and his teams contributions, many others champion the man.  Watch James Dyson in his element - in his Malmesbury Headquarters.  NBC’s “Today Show”  http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=71fa9222-10d2-413c-bf31-0007895697ac

2)  Older video news:  I could not resist...  A Hottie car-news chick mentions the rumor of Dyson working with car makers, and Oreck gets a mention too (funny).

HS:

Settle down.  Have a cup of joe.  Your facts are all jumbled up.  DC07 Red at TARGET?  Do you mean pink? 

I never said a 6 year supply.  Are you delusional? 

I said after 6 years retailers still have purchases of DC-07's made years ago sitting unsold.  Why?  Dyson.  MAP and MSRP have caused the sales to languish especially as new dyson models were launched. 

It's caught up with dyson and its retailers.  Just like the pros said.  Now these old dyson models and new models are being dumped by US retailers.  Along with the refurbs.  

I have more information about Wal*Mart and dyson than most here and I've shared it many times.  Save Matt who knows but can't say.  And other retailers.  Do you have any specific questions?  Warning:  The information doesn't paint a pretty picture for dyson ahead.  US retailers are very worried about the political conditions in Malaysia.  As well as economic conditions here.  In fact, so is the US government about the former and should be about the latter. 

BTW, as far as dyson is a top seller?  Dyson claims 10 percent of the USA new vacuum market in the USA with 2 MILLION.  That's not top in the USA.  Not even close.  It had 8 percent in 2004.  Not much increase.

The fear on the part of the US government is that after 50 years the democracy in Malaysia is becoming unstable.  Add to it the subsidies on gas getting lifted recently and the people may protest and riot in the streets.  Not a good atmosphere for US and foreign companies there.

Before you ask DC18, no I haven't been to Malaysia.  But I know Malaysians here who go back and forth between here and there for many years.  They're worried too just like the USA.

What did I tell you?  Have a cup of joe.  You're salivating from the mouth and seeing red.

A red DC07 from 2006?  Are you sure?  I'm not familiar with it.  Can you describe it in more detail?  Say comparing it to a DC14?  The red one that was called the Drive exclusively for TARGET.  [You'll have Matt mmc AirBlade scratching his head again].

You are not familiar with lots of things.  You just make them up as you go.  Just because you are not familiar does not mean it does not exist.

How much detail do you need about a DC07.  Red is a color and you should be familiar with it.

HS:

Better go back and have another cup of joe.  The first didn't do much good.

A red DC07 at TARGET starting in 2006?  That's news to me.  Now you have Matt and I scratching our heads.  Are you sure about being sure?

I tried.  No luck.  Computer won't compute.  Or TARGET won't hit.

Target site is slow this AM

Maybe it needs some coffee too like you!

I'm not aware of a red DC07 at TARGET stores that was launched in 2006.  It's a full time job keeping up with all the different variations that dyson has on the same theme.  

I recall the red DC14 Drive in 2006 which was promoted with extra tools for car cleaning.  These extra tools distinguished it from other DC14 models being sold by US retailers. 

The latter was recently discounted and sold at clearance prices by TARGET stores.  They were all cleared out before the DC24 and 25 made it to the shelves in LV stores. 

Red DC07.  Not a clue.  Since you so good with pictures, how about posting it here!  I'd like to see it and my computer and the TARGET site isn't working for some reason.
