Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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).

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.

Motorhead,

Well done and thanks for keeping the rock throwing, bad mouthing, anti-Dyson dealers or alike feet to the fire and/or keeping them honest.  They hate being exposed (and they use bad words too ).        DIB

DIB:

Truth is [since we are being honest] that many vacuum replacement parts are as good if not better than original and less expensive.  Customers oftentimes will specifically ask if there are replacement parts that are less expensive that can be bought/used in their repairs.

Carmine,

Knock-offs aside, Motorhead made many points on his last two posts (one of which mole called him a worthless maggot).   My reply to Motorhead would have been better suited on the other thread but Moles foul mouth got it shut down and so I had to post on this thread.  Motorhead is the first I'm aware of ,that appreciates Dyson and can hold his own with dealers that well...  l oath Dyson.  I love it when he calls em out and they get flustered.  IT'S HALLARIOUS!        DIB

HS:

You wouldn't recognize the truth if it hit you between the eyes like a sledge hammer.  If you could, you wouldn't sell off your best assets, then kick yourself every day for years for doing so.  

You would pose a question like this to accuse indy-s when you have no concrete evidence/proof of it.  No doubt, there are fly by nights who did/do what you say [in all industries, not just vacuums].  Your innuendoes smack of accusations [without proof].   I''m retired after 40 plus years in the vacuum business.  If I did it, I wouldn't have retired from the business.  I would have been drummed out.

You judge others by yourself, HS.  Not a realistic and truthful picture of the world now is it?   

Let's use you as a hypothetical, since you posed the question.  If you did what you said [use replacement parts as genuine for the profit] and you were an authorized dyson dealer, you would soon be dis-enfranchised.  True with all vacuum brands and their franchises.  It's the vacuum makers' representatives [reps] who have the responsibility to ensure that their dealers are using only genuine parts, if customers wanted and paid for them.  But dyson reps, especially the preponderance of former housewives, probably don't know/do it very well.  Why?  They don't have the knowledge and experience in the industry.  They're housewives.  What do they know about the vacuum industry?  How it works?

You get what you pay for HS.  $30K may be a nice income for a former housewife whose claim to fame for vacuum experience is being a happy dyson user.  But dyson has to pay more to get "qualified" reps who know the business.  If they did, you'd probably still be using a dyson.
