You know i really wonder how he can sell this to the japanese with a strait face?
The Roomba sells for $800 US in Japan. Seems the Dyson is in line with everything else. We had a customer in the other day that had moved here from Japan and they were looking for a small vacuum. We showed them the Riccar Sunburst and they said it was far to big. After seeing the pictures of the Dyson I now see what they were talking about as far as size goes. Different lifestyles, different cultures, different markets. Dusty

Hi Dusty, Did they say whether they were living in an apartment or a decent-size house? The Dyson shown here might be just the ticket for someone living in a studio or one bedroom apartment with not a lot to clean. Venson

Venson Hi Venson, They had moved into a Condo that was mainly hardwood floor except for the bedroom. I think they were still adjusting to the way we live...everything is bigger, appliances, cars, condos etc.. Dusty

The difference is Dave ORECK is THE MOST recognized face in the vacuum industry. James wishes he were. Carmine D.
A fond hope, I'm sure - where are the figures to back up this claim?
Try standing on an English street and finding 5 people who know what an Oreck is, let alone who David Oreck is! James Dyson and his creations, on the other hand, are never out of the media - print, television, even radio!

The facts and figures are that your fave brand exports 2/3 of its total vacuums to the USA market. In the USA, Dave ORECK is the most recognized face in the vacuum industry. That is a given and well known fact here in the US vacuum industry.

So how do the japanese feel about vacuum cleaners made with parts from china???<p>MOLE
Actually it has to be looked at the other way round MOLE. It is my understanding that the Japanese were kind of mean to the Chinese during World War II. Then again, even though Japan lost the war, it made a phenomenal comeback financially. The whole world went "Sony" and "Honda" and lots of folks went off smiling as they toted our dollars to the bank. It's all a case of -- "He who laughs last, laughs best." I only hope everybody's friends again. Venson
