Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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

You made the comment about electronics, not me.  I simply responded.  What the hell does that have to do with Dyson at WM or BB? 

Anyone with intelligence knows that WM and BB should not be compared in total revenues.  Totallly different markets.  BB sells better quality electronics than WM.  Plain and simple.  You should be more diverse with your knowledge. 

Dyson is not a mainstream seller HS, as you and others say.  That's the point.  If it were it, and its not, it would be selling at the big box retailers like W*M and BEST BUY.  Dysons are not selling enough to warrant in store shelf space.  Ask your retailers' staff if you know them well enough to be honest with you.  Like K-Mart, dyson will in short order if he doesn't reinvent his company and products and lower their prices, be relegated to on-line sales, just like the re-formatted dyson ball barrow.

BTW HS, tell Stores Magazine, a retail industry authority, that BEST BUY and W*M stores should not be compared.  They do it every year and are the retail industry standard for it.  I was referencing and quoting their findings and results for 2008.

In fact HS, BEST BUY Stores and W*M are competitors for electronics sales and vie for the lead position every year in sales.

Which store do you buy your mid to higher end televisions and home theater audio equipment from?

Let me say this for you  v-e-r-y  s-l-o-w-l-y  so you understand.  I shop and buy at the store/retailer/business which has what it is I'm looking for and at the best price AND the best customer satisfaction in the past.  As I said, I am not a big fan of W*M stores but I respect and admire its business acuman. 

In the past year I've purchased vacuums and electronics at BEST BUY stores and COSTCO stores.  The last purchase I made from W*M was the same as the purchase I made before it:  bulbs for my house light fixtures.  W*M carries the style and brand I need.  Not a huge sale, less than 10 bucks.  If you like I'll itemize all the purchases for you.

Which BTW has nothing to do with the expensive clutch repairs which are problematic on dysons that run $100-$135 top repair and generally are the root cause for them being traded, junked, and left unclaimed.  Opps there goes another recycled/refurbed dyson.

Like I said earlier.  You brought up the subject.  I only responded.

I brought up the subjects that dyson vacuums are selling like bottles of Jim Beam bourbon to Mormons at the Temple in Salt Lake City.  And the $100-$135 repair bills for faulty dyson clutches prevent owners from repairing them and intead trading/junking.  While the latest ball dyson DC24/25 ball models are the worse sellers of all dyson vacuums and the DC25 has an inherent defect in the motor wiring harness.  So bad is the problem that makes the vacuum stop running after a few months of use.  At least one dyson dealer in Las Vegas refuses to sell a DC25 for this reason.  I opine that the dyson ball models will go the same way as the dyson ball barrow.  Oblivion.  Now say again what exactly was your responses?

Sam's Club and dyson now bundle a DC27 with a DC16 for dual purchase.  Buy a DC27 for $479 and get  a DC16 free.  Hoping to spark a year's worth of lackluster sales at the chain for a dyson model which looks like a DC17 with a makeover.   

The predominant vacuum sellers at Sam's are EUREKA's for $150 and less.  Dyson is a fish out of water on the shelves.
