The DC27 - to replace the DC07 & DC14. Say good-bye to the [on some carpet types] temperamental clutch.

It's true, no more clutch.  It uses a brushroll motor.

Hi Severus,

Even if it was 50 dollars labor it would still be a $90 total repair. When people are buying Dirt Devils and Bissells at $200 a pop every two or three years, I don't see much of an issue with replacing a clutch after 5.  I know I certainly don't sell any brands that require no repairs after 5 years...doesn't matter if it's Riccar, Eureka, Sebo or whatever.  They all require something at some point.

Dusty



A $90 plus repair is a hardsell for a couple with one or more breadwinners laidoff/unemployed.  These repairs often go unclaimed/undone.  And consumers in hard times trade down on a new vacuum purchase RATHER THAN REPAIR because is less expensive/disposable.  Vice trade up and trade in the old model and buying new at the same/higher price.

It is a breath of fresh air hearing from Vacuum Cleaner Dealers with integrity.

Some time ago Carmine suggested HSN had conspired (with Dyson) some how/some way when they claimed to of sold 10,000 DC07 units as a Today’s Special.  The vac was a great bundle and price and people bought.  Let’s see... to date, Carmine believes HSN, Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Sears are all conspiring to “pump to dump” Dyson’s. - It makes for great entertainment.

Actually what I said is that these TV sales use the same selling/marketing strategy that hawkers used in the old days in auction sales.  Plant shills who bid up the prices/product demand to give potential buyers a sense that they have to have/buy.  Does the name Bernie Madeoff come to mind!  The sales deception works better in good times than bad [like now].

Exactly.  6500 RPM doesn't mean anything except how much dirt is whisked off of the surface -MH


By adding this brush speed to a lightweight 9 pounder that is easy and quick for all in the household to pull out daily and use, the surface dirt, which takes several days to imbed in the rug, is removed before any rug wear and damage from dirt results.  That's the beauty of ORECK!  Not to mention that ORECK is wonderful for grooming and pet hair on all floor surface coverings.  BAsta!  Consumer Reports and the Carpet and Rug Institute tell vacuum consumers so about ORECK-s and have for over 30 years.

Maybe Carmine adds nitrogen to the brush bar and the bag on his Oreck.  It is a maircle working gas.  Speaking of gas.  Carmine spews a lot of it.

I hear tell that nitrogen is infused in golf clubs/handles too now to assist players who otherwise can't make par do so!

I believe that Carmine is providing his educated opinion, and it does seem plausible.  


Thank you for saying so.  ALWAYS educated opinions.  With all my life, and I am rather old in the tooth, spent in and around the vacuum industry in some way, shape, and form that's alot of education and opinions.

Hello DC18,

Hey, your a fan of Sir James.  Why don't you install a TIFF Viewer plug-in [into] your browser (viewer is needed to view U.S. patents) and take a look at the many Dyson applications and many non-vacuums inventions too.  And post what you think is interesting.

I must clarify... the illustration shows a vacuum laying more prone than all his current vacuums, yet it looks like it could possibly can lay [fully] prone too.

Here are his/his teams patent applications:  http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=dyson&FIELD1=AS&co1=AND&TERM2=&FIELD2=&d=PG01

 And unless the brushroll was flat, a la Dyson or Vibra-Groomer I, it wouldn't create any airflow on its own. 

Speaking of which, one can remove the fan on a VGI-equipped Sanitaire, replace the pulley and reconnect the belt, and it will still have more airflow than an Oreck.

-MH


Speaking of which, the ORECK's direct air flow speed measures 102 MPH.  Did I mention that already?  And thereason an Electrolux Intensity lightweight WITH A FULL BAG beats out the full size suction power of a DC14 by 60 percent!

Actually I am too a fan of James Dyson.  But not his products.  Sadly he never surrounded himself with persons who know and have experience in the vacuum industry.  The reason in part his financial fortune has gone from $2 BILLION in 2006 to $1 BILLION in 2008.  Still respectable but nonetheless a 50 percent drop in 2 years.  With most saying the worse is yet to come.

Dusty, et al.

Now to your question.  All retailers sort their brands and models by the selling price.  For vacuums, dyson has few to no others than its own brand that compete with it in the same price range.  So, for example, a DC25 Ball for $499 plus has no other brand competition.  If it sells one a week, month etc, it is by definition a "best and popular seller.'

Dusty:

If you have facts to disprove my interpretation and perspective on best and popular sellers among retailers please provide here.  I'm all eyes and ears.

It is based on the same theory as nitrogen in tires.  Take $ from those to stupid to know the difference.
