Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson UK has launched (updated) the DC19-T2 which comes in standard and Animal models. New features on this model are:

Detachable Handle/Hose (allows click-fit tools to attach to end of the handle or hose)
Lightweight adjustable Wand
Dual Mode Floor Tool (replaces the standard 'flat out' tool which was on the original DC19 a return to the multi 'contact' head tool the DC08 and DC08TW used)

It has been re-engineered floor tool to remove more dirt from carpets and hard floors. It has the 'now' standard dual crevice and dusting brush tool too. Maybe the 'flat out' tool was not as popular on the original standard DC19!

See www.dyson.co.uk home page for first look!

DC18

Too many models syndrome plagues the majority of manufacturers. At our store we try and run with a good, better, best in each line we carry.  For the most part it works like a charm (all though there is always someone that wants a different color) and makes it easy for the customer to decide what it is they require.  Kudo's have to go to Sebo in the model department...3 canisters and 3 uprights and that's about it.  Makes choosing what to inventory very easy.

Yes indeed.  GM competed against itself for sales.  Like dyson is now.  You can do that [add same models with differnt names] if you are numero uno in the industry with 40 percent market share [like GM was at one time in the USA and HOOVER is still IS today] .  Can't do it when your market share is 18 percent [GM's market share prior to bankruptcy].  Certainly you can't do it when you are a niche product seller like your fave vacuum brand.

Are you referring to Hoover as in the now defunct Hoover USA?  Remember they sold.  Too many models and pith poor quality/performance.  Only bought by those who listen to others and would not know a good from a bad machine.

At least I can see through mine.  Hoover USA is defunct thanks to Dyson.  Get someone to read this to you.

It's not reading that escapes you with the dyson color glasses.  It's comprehension.  You're stuck in 2002-2006 with dyson flying high off the sales of the DC07.  It's ancient history.  Dyson has not had a successful selling product since its DC07.  Why?

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  Dyson can't fool vacuum customers twice.  Not even you.  You sold your DC07 that you received as a gift and used the proceeds to buy a bagged Royal Eminence.  With loyal customers like you, no wonder dyson can't sell it's latest and greatest.

Here's the info on the DC29

Thanks Ace.

Steep price: $629 and no air watts amount provided.

Hi Carmine,

The site is Australian and the cleaner prices at about $501 in our money. Though they most make carerful note that electrical wattage does not count they do not bother to list the air watts the cleaner produces. Wonder why?

Also odd, they have somehow garnered approval from the national asthma society or whatever.

By the way are you aware of the price value comparison say to $89.95 around 1960 as opposed to today?

Best,

Hi Venson:

HAPPY 4th.  I'm not aware of the price amounts/comparisons over the years.
