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 Danorob:

Thanks for the post.  My head was quicker than my hands and I was rushing.   Dinner was waiting.  I was in the process to repost correctly and noted you were ahead of me already.  Nice to see people read and take note.  Please note on the ORECK thread some time back I posted the motor information and comparisons of the models correctly.  The motors on the ORECK-s [XL Classic, Deluxe, and Ultra] are the same save for the XL21 Titanium.  The latter has the larger motor, more suction and larger fan with 21 year warranty.

Hi, which one hadn't you seen before?

Incidently, notice the DC01 limited addition 'blue' in the video?


A shop local to me has a reconditioned one of these on display at the moment, selling for 50GBP.
While I don't collect vacs myself, I think that would be a good price for someone who did?

Thanks M00seUK:

I note the same color schemes as the DC07 Original sold exclusively in WalMart stores for $359 now.

Oh sorry, I know the vac you're referring to now. No, I hadn't seen that one before also.

M00seUK:

If dyson made the warranty 5 years on the DC07 Original [which has an MSRP of $389] rather than 2 years, it would have sold better in Wal*Mart stores.  I've noticed that most WM stores don't have this exclusive on the shelves.  Dyson struck out twice with WM on exclusive models:  The DC07 All Carpets and the DC07 Original.

I know someone who has that model, well and all the other DYSON models in the display case except for the prototype of course, of which only one was made.  Chances are, had there been two manufactured, my friend would most likely have one

The only difference is that his aren't sitting in a glass case, they are in a storage room waiting to be used for the thing they were invented for, that is to CLEAN.  After all, that's the only use for a vacuum cleaner.  I have used all of these early models pictured, and the one thing I have noticed is that they all work as well as their modern counterparts, do not lose suction of course, and aren't exactly noisy either. 

This limited edition blue DYSON DC01 was called the "Antarctica Solo" edition and created to aid breakthrough breast cancer research.

Hi Motorhead,

If you check the behind the scenes of 'the ball' video on youtube, you'll notice that it looks like Dyson had at one stage built a more recent prototype that looked similar to this. It was a bit like a upright version of the DC11.

Hi Moose,

Thanks for pointing that out, I had watched the video before when it was linked here but didn't notice that the first time.  It does resemble the DC11 a bit, that and a Ball version of the DC03.

On an unrelated note, the interesting thing about the early prototype is that both cyclones are high-efficiency (900 MPH) compared to one high and one low-efficiency cyclone, making the machine excellent for fine dust pickup but useless for pet hair and other large debris.

Your point would be valid if dyson was a 79,95 vacuum cleaner.Imagine that 512 people on the payroll to make mistake after mistake after mistake.I wonder how many are working in the marketing department over 1000?

We know that Gasko is the minister of propaganda, Maybe Jimmy will have to move him over to another department soon,maybe in charge of janitorial duties, Or maybe he could be the E-BAY police,seeking out those evil indys that sell the piece of junk online for cost.[ITS STILL OVERPRICED]

YOU GUYS ARE STILL THE LEADERS IN THE COLORS DEPARTMENT,

B.T.W. when are they going to fix the hoses from breaking off its a huge aftermarket all to its self,I cant personally give dyson credit for that he does not make his own parts[like real manufactures],

BYE BYE SIR JIMMY, why dont you get back into the laundry business again, you failure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Aftermarket?  Maybe the bojack parts you buy from Hesco that you try to pass off as genuine DYSON to customers are aftermarket, but not anything else.  I know for a fact that if you are an authorized DYSON service center you have access to genuine DYSON parts for all models.

I honestly have no idea what to say about your other rantings since they're so far off the deep end.
