Dyson vacuum & other vacuum related videos & photos...
Original Message   Nov 22, 2007 12:23 am
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).

Hello HARDSELL:  You'll own another dyson if and when someone gives you one. You won't buy a new one.  Not after selling the DC07 several years into using it; buying and returning a new dyson DC14 and then buying and now owning a Royal Eminence for $299 [bagged] instead.  You're letting dyson down.  Won't get a new one that way.

HOOVER WT and ORECK XL uprights are tops in their class and very affordable.  I recommend both for rug/carpet cleaning.  The only caveat for ORECK is on very high shag carpeting.  Better to buy a HOOVER/ brand model with a rug height adjustment.  That leaves your free brand out too.

Too bad that Dyson outclasses them.

What about those years of selling hoover and telling customers that they were better than Oreck/   Is there any dout that you have no credibility?

Hello HARDSELL:

I was a HOOVER, EUREKA, and Panasonic warranty dealer concurrently.  And Westinghouse for a brief period in the late 50's.  I sold all rebuilts including ORECK.  Repaired all makes, including ORECK.  I mentioned before that ORECK customers were among the most pleased with them and rarely ever were ORECK-s traded in.  Even to the door to door vacuum sellers like Air-Way, Kirby, and Electrolux. 

My dear Wife was the force behind buying the ORECK.  She always liked it and wanted one.  So I bought one, used it, and was so impressed I bought 3 more and gifted them to family and friends.  I use my ORECK daily.  Won't use any other on my rugs and floors.  ORECK is a worthy brand, good preformer, and a decent price.  Plus its made in the USA by Americans.  Win-win.

Pure genius.  A pro for 40 years who did not know the virtues of an Oreck.  Did your wife also pick out the Explorer?

I recall you sold a Dodge Charger 40 years ago and then a dyson recently although you regret both actions and are kicking yourself for doing so.

How did you know my dear Wife is a genius.  That's why she married me.  She picked the Ford Escape, not Explorer.

It's both HARDSELL: Fair to middlin performance at the highest vacuum prices and consumers' cutting back.  Put the two together and dyson goes to the mat with a one-two knock out punch. 

You're living proof of it.  A former dyson buyer and user.  Rave over it.  Won't buy another dyson now.  Returned the one you did buy because you were unhappy with it.  Went with a $299 Royal Eminence instead.  BAGGED no less!  Talk about doing the twist!

I would like to pose a question to the DYSONITES,

Why do you feel that DYSON has revised their filter cleaning schedule,

1 could it be that the new level3,system is not as good as the old roots system.

2 could the brush roll change in the newer dc series machines really picked up the cleaning effectiveness,and the filtration system cant keep up with it/

3 or the dyson engineers are now thinking about going bagged.

4 or it was just bull$hit from the beginning.

your replys are welcome...........

# 4.  I am of course referring to you and Carmine about the bullsheet.

We already know that Dyson put you and Carmine in a pinch therefore all the hate.

Hello MOLE:  Add one more significant downsize/degradation to the latest dyson DC25 mix: Reduced bin size.  From .5 gallons [2 quarts] in the DC14 dirt bin to .3 gallons [1.5 quarts] in the DC25.  Why?  Filter maintenance increased and bin size decreased? 
What sayest thou dyson fans?  Please don't give the answer because of the ball wheel technology.  Carmine D.

HARDSELL:

The only bull dunk on this site comes from you and other dyson fans spewing untrue claims about how great dyson art.  And it's flowing like mud now that the myth and lies are uncovered.  No hate here for dyson from MOLE and I.   Just the plain and simple facts about it. 

You rave and rant about the dyson brand for over 3 years.  What do you do?  Sell the DC07 that was gifted to you.  Using the funds to buy a DC14 from SEARS, one of your least favorite retailers, and then return the DC14 to get your money back. 

Wait, you haven't even gotten started yet.  It gets better!  What do you do then?  Go to an indy vacuum store [that you constantly criticize here for not selling dysons] and buy a bagged Royal Eminence for $299.    After all this, what do you have to say?  Well I don't really like the Royal, its not as good as a dyson.  I can kick myself every day when I use the Royal.  I miss my dyson.  Like selling my Dodge Charger 40 years ago.  Always me.  Poor me.  I called the dealer and he won't give me a deal to buy another dyson and trade my Royal.  See, I bought  a new set of golf clubs for $2000 and a lawnmower.  So my credit is maxed out.  I have to wait awhile.  BTW, was that a bagged/bagless lawnmower?

What should we conclude from all this?  A word comes to mind.  Your word.  Hint: Look up!

I suspect the fella in question is working as part of Dyson's 'blue sky' team. As the name might suggest, these people are tasked with discovering new ways of solving problems using the latest technology and scientific knowhow. Generally speaking, nothing is too radical.

Efficient product development is achieved by a mix of people. Ideas people, specialist area people (engineers, scientists) ...and project managers to keep development on track and to keep anyone else from distracting the individuals!

Moose,

You were correct, this designer works as part of the "Blue Sky" team.  Story here.        DIB

DIB:

Sorry to rain on your Stephen in blue sky wonderland parade but it begs the question:  What does a 24 year old vest designer know about vacuums?  What does he know about the vacuum industry?  What qualifies him to work on designing and making vacuums better? 

Is dyson so desperate to get his failed bagless filtration back on track that he's groping for straws as he's sinking in the quick sand?  12 of these whiz kids to improve the dyson.  A swat team of designers?  What does this say about the 500 dyson engineers?  It's laughable. 

First, the $500 DC15 gets madeover into the DC25 and now the DC25 will get madeover and relaunched as the DC35 with a new price tag of $700.  Why?  Surprise surprise.  It eradicates dust mites.  Ohhh my!!!  But wait.  Isn't there a another $500 vacuum on the market that isn't selling well that already claims the same?  Yes, I think there is.  It's called the halo.  Of course.  The halo.  Only problem is that multiple scientific research and studies show conclusively that all brushroll vacuums kill dust mites.  Really?  Next? 

Oh lest I forget.  Dyson never loses suction!  And its steerable and pivoting.  Just what we need.  A portable 12 pound vacuum that you steer and pivot around the house like you are on an obstacle course of cleaning.  Oh my!  What will the king of vacuum innovation with his 500 engineers and task force of 12 designers think of next?  Wait.  I got it!  A robotic vacuum!  Yes, a robotic vacuum.  OK, coffee break time.  For you underage dyson whiz kids, milk will be served.  Warm in a bottle.  Imperial pint size.
