K Mart culls dyson products from its store shelves. Only available on line [at least for now.]

To verify the news I stopped at a huge K Mart store in LV. Aisles of vacuums of all makes models and floorcare products but conspicuously absent is dyson and everything dyson [no filters, product lit, notta]. When I inquired, I was told the dyson brand is only sold online now. Why? Make shelf room for the vacuum brands and models that are movers. Dyson wasn't. It's been off the shelves for 2 weeks already and the store staff tells me there is no interest/question from customers yet except me.

Hi Carmine,

Do you recall the general price range of the vacuums K-Mart did have on the shelves?

Thanks,

Hello Venson:

Yes, I scoped the vacuum aisles out very quickly and my general impression is that the prices ranged from $50 to $250 with a predominance of them in the $150-$175: EUREKA, SEARS/KENMORE, HOOVER, BISSELL etc.

Hello 'turtle1'

With several retailers like Circuit City and Linens and Things, which sold dysons, going belly up and others culling dyson models on store shelves and/or limiting to dyson sales to on-line orders, 2009 will be a tough year for sales for James.

Look for dyson to offer special discounts [perhaps up to 50 percent] to friends and family on all dyson prices. James needs to do something for jump starting sales.

I would like to see Dyson open up concept stores across the country (not unlike Oreck), and introduce a low-end department store sub brand that would not compromise Dysons premium pricing structure.

Excellent idea. The ORECK business model is tested, tried and proven. Nice to have product ideas. Even better to package and sell them independently from 3rd party entities who do not have your best interests at heart/pocket book.

Dyson 'Absolute' DC27 now featured on Dyson UK web site.

DC23 T2 added to the UK canister range, with the following observations compared to the DC23:-

1) Telescope wrap feature replaced with adjustable wand.
2) Click to fit attachments
3) Redesigned floor tool
4) Lower price

It looks like as with the DC19 T2, it will replace the DC23 in the range - although this would mean there would no longer be a motorhead model, unless it's being introduced to the DC23 T2 in time?
