Hello Dusty: You're in Canada, and it was late to the dyson sales game. Just the last 3 years if I understood correctly. I suspect you're getting old dyson DC07 stock before the u bend airway was made permanent. And the dyson pics are old. All the DC07-s now in the USA [that I have seen in stores since the launch of 2002] have a permanent u bend airway joint. The removable one has been obsolete here in the USA. I speak with experience in several states on both coasts. It's an important piece. Without it, the vacuum has no suction in the tool mode. [FYI: The DC07 pink I bought in August 2006 from TARGET had a very permanent u bend airway joint with no thumb tab to be seen and still does]. Carmine D.
What coasts did you visit to find DC07's with a non removable u-bend? You tell a new member that you had 40 years in business then became a consultant. Yet, you did not know how to remove the u-bend on your DC07. I always suspected that as a consultant you advised against Dyson and it bit you in the a$$. They fired you and you have bashed Dyson ever since.
You should have had your wife assist you with the Dyson since she is more savy than you.

HS: I highlighted in bold with italics and underlines the part you omitted. Perhaps if the DC07 pink worked on my carpets and clogged, I would have had the occasion to remove the ubend joint. But since it didn't work, I didn't have reason to remove. The DC07 with the ubend airway is permanently removed from my home. Soon to be permanently removed from retailers' shelves. Carmine D.

Hey MOLE man: Good question. Back in 2005 when Wal*Mart scrubbed the DC07 All Floors for the HOOVER FUSION, dyson took back the WM dyson inventory. WM insisted on cash in return, no credits. Dyson forked it up and unloaded all the WM dysons on BEST BUY stores. A ship load. The BB stores are still selling them 3 plus years later with still more in warehouses stored yet to be sold. BB was upset with dyson over this maneuver. But went along for the ride. A rough one. Still. 3 plus years later. And the DC07-s are getting kicked around at clearance prices by all retailers to unload. At the rate dyson is going, it will be passed 3 digits in model numbers and BB will still be selling the DC07-s. By then they should priced at their true worth. Buy 1 get 3 free. And a DC16 Hand Held included free. Carmine D.

Camine,your not sayin that dysons doing a little creative accounting are you?.You know REGINA / DYSON 2 the same........
MOLE
Who knows, MOLE? It's a very good question. It's hard to hide a vessal load of new vacuums from smart auditors, who were the ones who noticed all the returned REGINA-s stocking up. And one asked the question: What are all these returned REGINA-s. And the answer: They are customer returns. A little research and voila: Double counted sales and no expenses associated with the resales. Twice the profit, half the cost of manufacturing. And along came the refurb law.
I don't know how it worked. That must have been one huge payment from dyson to WM. No loss in sales for dyson who accounts for sales as shipment to vendor. Why? Because all the dysons went to BB stores. Simple bookkeeping entry by dyson. Did BB front the do re me for all these WM dysons? I doubt it. Maybe there was some financial arrangement between dyson and BB for the dyson dump. Perhaps a delayed payment/sales on installment payments. As the dysons sell, BB pays dyson by installments. Hard to say MOLE. Carmine D.

Carmine THE MODEL # will be the retail m.s.r.p you know the one cast in stone that if broken you will banished from the vacuum world never to be heard from again. According to dyson wizards on this forum the dc07 was the best of the dyson breed,Oh my how are going to carry on the dyson propaganda machine when the leader of the pack has abandonded the ship. MOLE, Im lost but if i happen to show up before i get back keep me here.........

Your truths are not so true.Hello HS: I highlighted in bold italics with underlining the portion you didn't. Included a definition of "permanent;" [From Random House Webster's College edition]: 1. Existing perpetually; everlasting; 2. intended to serve, function, etc for a long indefinite period. The current does, the old didn't. Carmine D.
I do not think that anyone is denying the definition of permanent. In fact I posted it earlier and you twisted around the post. Are you still denying that that you said it could not be removed ?
You mentioned recently that the clergy was very dear to you. Do they teach you to lie. The truth will set you free.

Hey MOLE: Yes, all the talk about dyson MAP enforcement and price supports. Supposedly to assist the indy-s against big box stores' price competition. And the dealer only dysons. Sure! More like retailers' exclusives. Remember it all very well. Heard it enough from all the dysoners. The dyson crowd has short memories and forsight. Now they won't admit they were all wrong. And we were right. How soon they forget! Ask the question: What is the signature dyson? You can't get 3 dysoners to agree. Ask which is the greater dyson? And they are befuddled? Hasn't come yet. Each new one is supposed to be the greater. Only each new dyson is the lesser: Less air watts, less dirt bin capacity. More user maintenance! Greater price! Carmine D.
