Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson is launching their new vacuums on HSN this (Saturday, pacific time), Sunday.

 

• When:  (Saturday) Sunday (on and off) all day/evening – check “Program Guide” here (all times are Eastern).
• Dyson will have their dedicated time slots/shows and in addition, Dyson/s are the "Today’s Special".
• For our UK Dyson friends…
  • The show streams live on HSN’s website.  Click > “Watch HSN Live” on right side of front page.   Shows are archived for viewing as well.
  • I’m told per HSN that Dyson/s will be the “Today’ Special” and shown throughout the day.  Look for the Dyson rep – Dave Shimkus’ under “guest name” for show times.

Thanks for the heads up...

Thanks DIB for the info, be interesting to see.  We have had no adverts on TV over in the UK just web and press thats all!

DC18

Acerone and DC18, I am glad I took the trouble to post.  I am hoping to see more than the DC24 and DC25, either way I will be watching.        DIB

Damn... No DC24 or 25 after all....

Re:  My posting of new Dyson’s launching on HSN.

I must sincerely apologize, I was wrong.  Typically in the past when I would call HSN, they would (without hesitancy) inform me as to what Dyson models were to be televised and sold ahead of time.  I recently called HSN and asked if the new DC24 or DC25 were going to be launched.  They said, “They cannot say.”  I took this to mean “yes”.  HSN and Dyson having a DC14/Carpet Kit sale on the eve of the DC24 and DC25 launching at retail never occurred to me.        DIB

For the pro Dyson guys and for the talk nasty of Dyson guys, here’s how Dyson’s sold on HSN today.

.

Dyson DC14 Animal sold with extras, $439.00 w/ free ship, 5 flex pay.  9000 vacuums sold (out) in l0 hours as a “Today’s Special”.

.

Dyson DC18 Slim sold with extras, $479.00 w/ free ship, 5 flex pay.  450 vacuums sold in 10 minutes and about 1100 total sold in 1 hour.  When the DC14 vacuum sold out the DC18 went on sale for the last Dyson airing (10 minutes in length).        DIB

Several points of interest to note [I saw the 2nd 30 minute pitch on Sunday.  I presume there was one also on Saturday and then another on Sunday from the talk]:

The DC14 Animal is a clearance item.  As dyson Dave said this model will no longer appear on HSN [although he and Kali implied that there may be other DC14's for sale in the future.  Read less expensive but they didn't say]:  Hence the low price for the DC14 Animal with all the extras:  DC14 Animal with the Zorb and applicator, and the turbine tool and floor/rug low rise tool.  As they said, regularly a $599 value for $439.  This puts pressure on the retailers who still have the standard DC14 models to discount below the $439.  Maybe significantly below. 

Dyson Dave said that the pre-motor filter should be cleaned every 3-4-5-6 months.  No longer the 5-6 months. 

Dave picked up the heavy stuff first: The Cat Litter with the hose.  Before he went to pick up the pet hair and coffee grinds, he did something key to the demo.  Did you catch it?  He removed the dirt bin and shook the container until all the cat litter settled evenly and was not covering any parts of the shroud.  At this point he sucked up the rest in the carpet [pet hair] and barefloor mode [coffee grinds].  Important step to prepare the vacuum properly to pick up the rest.  Most users wouldn't know and bother.  Changing the results drastically.

The rugs used for the demo were ALL low pile.  When Dave went to the other 3 demo rugs, very small sized areas too, and mentioned the rugs were different, he implied in height as in medium and high pile.  They weren't.  And they had no backing [matting].  The rugs were different styles of the same low height carpet.  At one point, you may have noted the ratcheting sound when Dave pressed the rug nozzle to the LOWEST pile rug.  It was not scripted.  Caught him and Kali by surprise.
