Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Settle down.  Have a cup of joe.  Your facts are all jumbled up.  DC07 Red at TARGET?  Do you mean pink? 

No. I mean RED.  They began selling them in November 2006.  It was exclusive to Target.  You know the target logo is red and not yellow.

I never said a 6 year supply.  Are you delusional? 

Go back and read.  You said:  " There's just so many DC07 and 14-s that were made and sold to big box retailers that are still on shelves and warehouses unsold after 6 years ". 

Unsold after 6 years means still in the inventory.

I said after 6 years retailers still have purchases of DC-07's made years ago sitting unsold.  Why?  Dyson.  MAP and MSRP have caused the sales to languish especially as new dyson models were launched. 

It's caught up with dyson and its retailers.  Just like the pros said.  Now these old dyson models and new models are being dumped by US retailers.  Along with the refurbs.  

You stated just this morning that price reduction was the normal course of business.  Now you say they are just being dumped.

I have seen discounts on all vacuum brands recently.  Are all vacuums being dumped?

 I have more information about Wal*Mart and dyson than most here and I've shared it many times.  Save Matt who knows but can't say.  And other retailers.  Do you have any specific questions?  Warning:  The information doesn't paint a pretty picture for dyson ahead.  US retailers are very worried about the political conditions in Malaysia.  As well as economic conditions here.  In fact, so is the US government about the former and should be about the latter. 

You have lots of misleading information.  No need to share more.

BTW, as far as dyson is a top seller?  Dyson claims 10 percent of the USA new vacuum market in the USA with 2 MILLION.  That's not top in the USA.  Not even close.  It had 8 percent in 2004.  Not much increase.

Tell us what brand has more MS and a higher increase since 2004?

What did I tell you?  Have a cup of joe.  You're salivating from the mouth and seeing red.

A red DC07 from 2006?  Are you sure?  I'm not familiar with it.  Can you describe it in more detail?  Say comparing it to a DC14?  The red one that was called the Drive exclusively for TARGET.  [You'll have Matt mmc AirBlade scratching his head again].

Better go back and have another cup of joe.  The first didn't do much good.

A red DC07 at TARGET starting in 2006?  That's news to me.  Now you have Matt and I scratching our heads.  Are you sure about being sure?

Carmine D.

I tried.  No luck.  Computer won't compute.  Or TARGET won't hit.

Like I said, it's the normal course of business.  The DC07, to answer Matt, stayed the course not because of its popularity.  It's not that good for rug cleaning.  Evidence: Kapoc rug test and less than mediocre Consumer Reports ratings especially for carpet cleaning. 

There's just so many DC07 and 14-s that were made and sold to big box retailers that are still on shelves and warehouses unsold after 6 years.  Plus, dyson adding new models every year competing for sales with all of these old models.  

The reason Wal*Mart never carried the dyson line.  But reluctantly agreed to exclusive models which struck out 2 times, 3 if you count the DC07 All Floors.  Not because Wal*Mart, the largest US big box retailer, didn't want the latest and greatest.  It did.  But it wanted to discount the old models to make room.  Dyson had a hissy fit.  And Wal*Mart kicked dyson out.  At least until dyson gravolled back.

The prices on these new DC07-s are dropping fast as well in the USA.  So are their refurbs.  And as you would expect, there are alot of dyson DC07 refurbs.
