"Americans' spending on new vacuums fell 3 percent in 2007 from a year earlier, to $3.2 Million, according to NPD Group, a market research firm in Port Washington, N.Y. " Source: NPD Group
My sense is most of the decline in new vacuum sales came during the 2007 Holiday sales season, which is the worse in years.
And the best indication of sales in the upcoming months of 2008.
