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).

HS:

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].

You are not familiar with lots of things.  You just make them up as you go.  Just because you are not familiar does not mean it does not exist.

How much detail do you need about a DC07.  Red is a color and you should be familiar with it.

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?

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

Maybe it needs some coffee too like you!

I'm not aware of a red DC07 at TARGET stores that was launched in 2006.  It's a full time job keeping up with all the different variations that dyson has on the same theme.  

I recall the red DC14 Drive in 2006 which was promoted with extra tools for car cleaning.  These extra tools distinguished it from other DC14 models being sold by US retailers. 

The latter was recently discounted and sold at clearance prices by TARGET stores.  They were all cleared out before the DC24 and 25 made it to the shelves in LV stores. 

Red DC07.  Not a clue.  Since you so good with pictures, how about posting it here!  I'd like to see it and my computer and the TARGET site isn't working for some reason.

HS is correct.  There is a DC07 Red and it is a Target exclusive.  It is primarily the same as a DC07 All Floors, just in Target's colors.

Hey DC18:

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.

Hello Carmine,

Can you tell us (me) the Walmart "kicked" Dyson out story (year and month if possible).  Walmart shafting vendors is common place, so how do we know Walmart simply did not give Dyson the shaft too?        DIB

It's also out of stock.  And it doesn't say "temporarily."  It's not listed on the current TARGET Site with dyson vacuums and parts.  Neither is the DC14 Drive.  What happened to the red DC07 and DC14 Drive at TARGET?  Both scrubbed by TARGET?
