Dusty:
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].

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! Carmine D.

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.

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.
