Hello DIB:

You call it whatever you will: Dumb luck, lady luck, blind luck, fool's luck, beginner's luck, whatever.  I prefer to call these FACTS the untold story.  Or the story within the story.  Why?  They are not mentioned.  Probably because they were never part of the business plan/model. 

I can say with absolute certainty that TTI Floorcare of Glenwillow OHIO will weather the stormy days ahead and fare very well business wise.  It has all the right stuff to do well in good/bad economic times.

Carmine,

I have been wanting a Lexus, BMW, Porsche, GT500 or one of many exotic cars.  I will make a trip to the dealer.  If they refuse to cut the price in half I will explain your philosophy that times are hard and they will likely go out business if they do not sell on my terms.

No different than vacuums I suppose.

Carmine,

“The untold story?”  ....as told by the supermarket rags?  Come on, the guy invented widgets that huge companies wanted but did not want to compensate for.   Dyson did not roll over as they thought and instead fought (paid for a lawsuit which in reality he could barely afford) for is property, they eventually compensated [Dyson] in the form of a volunteered settlement (aka a big fat check).  Dyson reinvested his compensation in his future...  Dyson LTD.

I have no doubt Red will become huge and with monopolistic like powers.

Hello DIB/HARDSELL:

Sorry DIB but no dealer in his/her right mind will gift you one of those brands.  Why?  Tell me HS, my good friend, would you, if gifted a dealer BMW, Porsche, Lexus, GT500 then sell it after 2 years just to buy a brand new Ford Fusion?  Not withstanding that money matters may necessitate it!  Do you understand now why the dyson campers are upset with you!  And you posted it here too!  

Dyson will most likely survive, with luck.  More probable as a niche seller.  TTI Floorcare in the USA and HOOVER Candy Group in the UK  will dominate the market for the common folk in hard times.   MIELE, SEBO,  RICCAR/SIMPLICITY and the classic rebuilts will rule for the high end quality minded buyers regardless of the times. 

The question that looms in the darkness of the uncertainty ahead:  Will your fave designer/inventor and so called overnight successful business man make the Forbes list?  Check the business model and see what the contingency plan says.

Carmine,  My DC07 was purchased new and in the box from Best Buy.  An Oreck dealer had to pay me out of his pocket because he lost the bet that we made.  You are dillusional to to think that it was a gifted refurb. 

If after 2 years I wanted a Fusion then I would sell the Beemer and buy one.  I give with love and no strings attached.  Therefore, the recipient of my gift can sell, trade or destroy the gift as they desire.  I would expect no less from one gifting to me.  BTW,  you are the only person who has made a comment on my selling of the Dyson.  Are you a Dyson camper?

Hello Venson:

Thanks for posting the spec sheets.  And the commentary on the compact cann vice the HOOVER Swingette.  As you know the original Swingette, tho compact and hand held in size, has the same motor as the full size HOOVER Dial and Power Dial, over 800 watts and one full horsepower.  In latter years, HOOVER used a different motor in the Swingette models but still as powerful for suction.

BTW, I have a Swingette that dates all the way back to 1970.  I use it all the time in the garage to vacuum my English lab, vacuum the vehicles, vacuum the filters/bins on the household vacuums, etc.  I note that just the other day the Swingette switch, a gaynor, went bad.  It double clicks now but still turns on and off.  38 years old and still going strong.  Amazing! I have ONE new gaynor replacement switch too.  Very old, old stock.

Hi Carmine,

38 years?  Wow!  Yours has the original floor tool -- right? (Like the nozzle on hte Lark stick -- two rollers, metal soleplate, about 10" wide with the tab for locking the floating brush strip stationary for bare floors.)

Hoover (TTI) is now producing them as a commercial vacuum.  I wonder if they're made of the same stuff as it's counterpart, the Eureka Mighty Mite, seem to be made of awfully flimsy stuff these days.

Best,

Venson

Hi Venson:

I parted the combo floor/rug tool out long ago.  But you're absolutely right: The early Swingettes use the same nozzle as the HOOVER Lark stick vac.  Identical save the color.

The Swingettes and/or whatever they are called now are available in a more expensive Commercial model.  My feeling is the HOOVER portable is more durable and reliable than the EUREKA Mighty Mite.  MIke W.  and others who like the MM may disagree.

The Hoover Porta powers were a great vacuum but you can bet it will now become extinct and a china throw away will be sold in it's place, the Mighty mites have more  powerfull suction but housings flimsy
