Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I'm sure a vacuum on top of a ball appeals to many, even if not me.  But the proof of how many it appeals to is in the numbers.  What are the sales figures for dyson's DC24 ball models?  That speaks volumes more than words.

DIB, please do not pull a number out of your rear like some would.

Does it matter how many are sold?  Fact is it can still be a #1 seller with no numbers quoted.

Number 1 seller where?  By whom?  Be specific, please, if you can't/won't provide the numbers.  TARGET Web Site doesn't say so.  DC24 is $399 and rated 3.5 stars out of 5 by 17 reviewers.  That's about a C+.  Number 1 seller?  What's the category:  Worse in dyson sales?

I recall in October 2008 I made a visit to the local BEST BUY store to buy a HOOVER TTI TEMPO for $70.   Conspicuously displayed on the end cap space was a DC18 but the shelf signage said a DC24.  When I asked about the the contradiction in models, the BB associate said most people never notice the difference.  He commented that dyson's DC18 was a better seller than the newer DC24.  He said both models were not really selling well and weren't for awhile.  Hence, the reason for the switch out.

The customers did not notice the 18 instead of a 24 in TWO INCH numerals? 

Sounds like a Dyson customer all right.

In fairness to BEST BUY customers, I really believe too that the BB store staff preferred dyson's DC18 over the newer DC24.  I do, so I might be prejudiced in my view of their perspective.
