Hey DIB.
I see your still following the Dyson credo,I am happy for you,of course you have to or else Jimmy would cut you loose like GASKO.The indys are in business to make a living just like you, Any independent that can handle this downturn are going to comeback even stronger, Just so you know many already have,Its not by luck but by knowledge and treating the customer right,Trust me its not always about the money motive.

You can mark my words By the time i get done with dyson and his band of thieves and con men.They will be growing their own potatoes again ,just to survive,,,,,,,,,,,,

MOLE

Carmine,

I quite enjoyed your “computer error” claim when you tried to cover for Mole’s re-edit.  That was one of your weakest and obvious attempts at conning the readers.   But I loved it for its entertainment value.  Like I said before, you must have been quite “something” back in the day and back in your shop.  Your belief system or style is always the same…  serving yourself all the while making the buyer feel you’re on his/her side.  So where does your Dyson jealousy come from… an insecurity?  I think many dealers and enthusiasts are frustrated and attack Dyson (man and business) because they are good part swappers but cannot get past this point, Dyson is the poster child to their frustration.  Am I close?

Oops, did I call the bad-mouthing and frustrated "part swappers"?  It was probably a computer glitch.


Mole,

Dyson will be around for a long while, and it will not just be in vacuums.  You need to educate yourself about the man you attack.  He knows how to get things done and knows the value of innovations that solve problems.  I must say his competitors have woken up somewhat, but they still have yet to invent anything big.  Dyson is the industries innovation leader.  Dyson indirectly spoon-fed this tired and slothful industry.  And not because I say so, but because competitors produce product that resembles Dyson and ONLY after Dyson launched (his various products).

There you go again DIB.  When you can't dispute the facts you digress and go with personal attacks.  I stick to the products and their pros and cons.  Be honest and straight forward with customers and they keep coming back [for over 40 years in the same location and still].  Make false, misleading, exaggerated and untrue product claims about what your products can/can't do, and the truth eventually prevails.  If your father pawned off hamburger meat as filet mignon and charged customers accordingly, I suspect his 3 restaurants would not have survived for very long.  The vacuum biz is no different. 

Your belief system is as self-serving as you have always been here.  Where you stand depends on where you sit.  You are clearly a dyson pawn here just as TOM was for a long period of time.  You believe and ssay if a dealer sells dyson it is honest and business worthy.  If the dealer doesn't, as most indies don't, they are liars and jealous of James' success.  DIB, that line is getting old here.  It works for a short time when dyson doesn't have a track record.  Now that it does, the dyson failures speak for themselves.  Mediocre performance anfd products with luxury prices.  A con par excellence.

Let me say for MOLE that this is classic DIB dyson bull shine with sugar coating.  Dyson products' reps are the laughing stock of the USA vacuum industry.  Even among authorized dyson dealers.  Get real and visit the indies and talk with them and look around their shops and stores.  See what they say directly about dysons' products and James.  Not liked at all.  Just the opposite.  They'll tell you he is no vacuum man.

Don't even talk about wheel barrows, hand dryers, washing machines and other dyson failed products.  It makes them laugh hysterically.  You're living in a dream world DIB.  Follow TOM's lead and others here.  Jump off the dyson ship before it goes down and you're left without a life preserver.  TOM did.  Joined back in with the TACONY ranks.

Carmine,

The more you talk the more you expose and confirm the pathetic underbelly of the two-faced con men.  Glad to see you finally confirm many Dyson-dealers are two-faced and crooks.  It’s amusing to hear how these do-nothin’s laugh at those who get things done.  If I want a lesson in underachieving, I’ll be sure to approach the lying, two-faced, do-nothin *independents.

You're living in a dyson fantasy land following your leader the piper Sir James.

Carmine,

Call it anything you want.  It sure is a better choice than taking the advise from rock-throwers that have little to no impact on greater society.

DIB,

I been following this debate for a bit but I can't quite agree.

Most independent purveyors of vacuums are in just the about the same boat these days as the guy who owns the deli across the street or the man who runs the laundry up the block. They are all doing the best they can to to keep their heads above water.

Personally, I have seldom had problems with indie vac dealers save for the occasion now and then when our "brand religion" may not match up. The public is not easily gulled, at least not for long. If they don't get what they need one place, they do go elsewhere. Thus, the nudniks in the vac business and industry really only succeed for a time.

As for Dyson's innovations, it's still got a long, long way to go. Despite the obvious final result, thorough vacuuming is still as labor intensive and time consuming as hauling out a broom and dustpan. This remains so no matter the brand of choice. At this point in time real innovation would the vacuum cleaner that does significantly more with significantly less passes. That, namely a single-pass machine, hasn't happened yet. Dyson hasn't done it, Hoover hasn't done it, nor Oreck, nor Miele, nor Electrolux, nor Bosch and the myriad brands on the market. The only exception, innovatively speaking, is Roomba which to me is still more a nice idea than a thoroughly effective cleaning device.

Back in the the day when Pop went to work and Mom held down the home front, "innovations" were good fodder for possible buyers. A little chrome and a short sci-fi tale about cyclones and rainstorms on a leash went a long way. But, now we're living in a new day.

Now, Mom and Pop are both working and coming home tired. More and more young people are living on their own either alone in postage stamp size apartments or in communal groups of ten per flat. Whatever the call, those able to work are working hard and looking for as much playtime as possible too. Automatic clothes washers, dishwashers and the microwave oven have saved our bacon timewise in some ways but vacuuming is still the short end of the stick.

The world doesn't need to be fed wondrous visions of cyclonics nor be inundated with promises of dust capture down to the atom. All that's required is a vacuum that's quickest and best at getting the job done well so that it can be chucked back into a closet allowing the user to get on with life.

Dyson hasn't solved that problem yet. AND please don't again try to impress upon me how a canister vacuum with thimble-size dust capacity and a nine-inch power nozzle or an upright that feels like you're pushing a truck when set to clean low-pile carpet is supposed to be innovation.

I call them as I see them.  There is a valid reason that the vacuum cleaner store owners and operators [the backbone of the vacuum industry in the USA, not the supposed innovators with 475 paid engineers who charge luxury prices for nothing more than average with a sugar coated marketed as in hype] are called indies as in independents.  They don't cotton and/or are beholden to any one brand.  They pck and choose the best for their clientele for the price. They are not puppets on a string manipulated by a pied piper called James like you are here. 

Your theory about a huge nationwide independent vacuum store owner/operator conspiracy against dyson and James is a hoax, a con, just like many of the dyson product claims.  It's the pied piper's calling to keep you in tow.

Hello Venson:

I agree with your entire post.  Excerpted this to add:  Or a vacuum that sits on a ball tried in an upright and canister by GE years [read decades] ago and faded into oblivion.  Just like DIB's fave brand ball, which BTW he paid $300 for a DC15 ball several years ago on clearance from BEST BUY.  It's been superceded by a DC18 and DC24/25 ball.  Has he purchased the latest and greatest ball that he raves here so much about.  No.  Let alone would he do so for MSRP.
