Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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 Motor:

I heard BEST BUY still has unsold DC07 All Floors dysons that were dumped on it by dyson in the Wal*Mart/dyson take back in 2005.  Wow.  That was over 3 years ago and the WM dyson stock is still unsold.  Probably will be selling at huge discounted prices too.  No wonder HSN/dyson had to change the TV DC07 color scheme.  Never sell it for $379 if the DC07 All Floors are selling for $280 [before store discounts and give backs].  If the buying public only knew.

Carmine, here's another example of a lie you repeat so often you believe it.  And I for one am not going to let you get away with it. 

The first Dyson that was sold at Wal-Mart was called the DC07 Carpet, with no clutch as I'm sure you know.  The second model was the (currently sold) DC07 Original, and it is also blue in color.  NO DC07 ALL FLOORS MODELS WERE EVER SOLD AT WAL-MART, EVER.  That is another one of your fairy tales that Wal-Mart "dumped" them on Best Buy.  Which, of course, is simply not possible.  Another one of your fantasies.  Did you pull that one out of your Depends too? 

Time for more crow!

Hey Motor Man:

Have to disagree with you Motor Man.

After the DC07 All Carpet [shortlived] MSRP of $359, came the DC07 All Floors yellow.  W*M's selling of the DC07 All Floors for the roll back price on the All Carpet [$319] caused the dyson-WM break up in 2005. 

Dyson was forced to take back all the remaining DC07 All Floors in W*M stock.  Why?  W*M threatened to dump the dysons for cost on the retail sales market.  Dyson caved big time and took back all the DC07 All Floors from W*M.  Then dumped them all on BEST BUY, the store that launched dysons in 2002. 

After the kiss/make up between dyson and W*M, the W*M exclusive Original for $380.  Now being cleared out for $320.  Ironically, the roll back price on the DC07 All Carpet and DC07 All Floors. 

What was your authoritative source for 4 Million new dysons sold in the USA in 2007?  Bad source.

Motor man:

The actual violation by W*M was advertising the dyson DC07 ALL Floors yellow [$399 MSRP] for $319, the roll back price on the DC07 All Carpets [MSRP $359].  The advertised price reduction on the DC07 All Floors violated the infamous dyson MAP of 10 percent.

The irony?  Now W*M advertises the DC07 Original [MSRP of $389] for $320.  No problems now with dyson!  I'd say W*M won the battle and the war.

Die hard Dyson guys might like seeing this IONA electric broom commercial.  It pre-dates their licensing Dyson technologies - the Fantom vacuum.
