Hi DIB Yeah I'm a fan of James Dyson! Thanks for the links be interesting to see what may be in the pipeline! DC18
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.' Carmine D. 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. Carmine D.

HS: I hear tell that nitrogen is infused in golf clubs/handles too now to assist players who otherwise can't make par do so! Carmine D. It is based on the same theory as nitrogen in tires. Take $ from those to stupid to know the difference.

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. Carmine D. Hey, I'm all eyes an ears too....still waiting for something to show me the DC25 is a bust. I can no more disprove your interpretation (and thanks for admitting you don't actually know) than you can prove it. Rather than drag on I'll just let things drop. I do wish however that the line between your opinion and what you can show as fact becomes a little clearer. Dusty (who always suspected that IPods never sold..they're just best sellers because they're expensive)

Hey Carmine, Are you back on your “pump to dump” Dyson conspiracy kick again? Remember when HSN said they sold 10,000 units of the DC07’s as a Todays Special. You made it out be/made it sound... that HSN and Dyson conspired. So now your “pump to dump” Dyson conspiracy list grows... HSN, Walmart, Best Buy and Sears. The DC25 is doing pretty good/great (still) - this supports what Dusty is experiencing in his store - the DC25 sells well. DIB Walmart: Vacuums and Floor Care > All Floor care > Top SellerBest Buy: Vacuums and Floor Care > [all] Upright Vacuums > Best SellingSears: Vacuums and Floor Care > On front [lower half] of page > Featured Items/Vacuums & Floor Care > Top Sellers(Sears has no search filtering for "Best Selling", although Sears has "Top Sellers" listed on their front page of Vacuums and Floor Care).

Here's the simple facts according to Forbes magazine [your fave source]: 2006 James' net worth: $2 BILLION; 2007 James' net worth: $1.6 BILLION; 2008 James' net worth: $1BILLION with no bonuses to management and several execs not drawing salaries; 2009 and beyond: ????
Looks like dyson, James and the UK pound need an infusion of nitrogen to pump up sales and profits. HAPPY EASTER! Carmine D.

Stupid statements like yours prove my point. Facts are oftentimes difficult to understand and accept the first time around! There is a true saying that you can't see the forest from the trees. BTW, both are excellent sources of nitrogen [forest and trees].
