Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I received this "teaser email today: http://links.mkt2388.com/ctt?kn=1&m=2735925&r=MTgwOTM1MTgzMTcS1&b=0&j=NzgxMTAyODMS1&mt=1&rt=0
Anyone know what's up with this??

Dib-ster:

I don't see a bowling ball size wheel on the HOOVER UK upright like a DC24/25.  I see a tilting/rotating handle holder.  No copying, robbing, thieving, or imitating of dyson ball.  Just a better functioning design and application than dyson's allowing back and forth and side to side cleaning strokes with less arm, wrist and elbow strain.

which only followed Dyson's DC11's success

Surely Dib-ster you're joking.  Dyson's DC11 has the shortest running production in the USA of any vacuum in over 100 years of the industry.  Retailers couldn't give them away.  Dyson took them back for credit.

Cameron,

Are you residing in Europe?  What can you report of the DC11’s European and/or non-European (non-USA) countries success or the lack of?

Last word was you were hunkering and residing in two extremes (typically)…  shiverin – ‘your rear off’ or sweating – ‘your rear off’ in the retirement Shangri-La (aka the Vegas desert).   Can you see Europe from Vegas?

Dib-ster:

According to your dyson facts and figures, the USA represents two thirds of the new dyson vacuum sales market.  Dyson's DC11 gets pulled from two-thirds of its new sales market in less than 9 months, never to be seen ever again.  If that is your definition of "successful" product/sales, dyson needs a better spokesperson here because you are selling fish oil to beefeaters.

advertised a new previously unthought-of dish, developed a huge following for this dish, then had some suits from Pepsi Co. eat at your place, take take-out from your place, study your ingredients and copy your dish/s... that’s all perfectly legal and so is them moving in across the street and so is them beating your pricing by 40% and after you lost your business, your home, your self esteem you’d have old-Trebor patrons eating in the Pepsi Co. store looking at your closed business saying no laws have been broken, Pepsi Co. is just giving me more value for my dollars and I’m sure Trebor and his home and his family and his kids and his kids college tuition's and his planned retirement date and ability to move to be closer to family will be just fine.  It’s just business and no laws have been broken.

Cameron,

I’m guessing TTI missed your Dyson-data harvesting (cruising malls and parking lots and talking with dealers who’ve nailed new and used Dyson’s to their floors).

 P.S.  I do not remember stating 2/3rds.

No doubt your gargantuan [some] vac margins and money made sellin rubber-bands and sacks is attractive.  But I’d rather jump on the Dyson’s achieves or gets - the most attention, most free publicity, most word of mouth, most patents, most 1^st to un-mined segments (ex: Dyson Ball line), most ad dollars spent (probably a U.S. record) gravy train. - But that’s just me.

Dustmite,

What makes you think Dyson has the most patents?   Have you got any evidence?   I seriously doubt it. 

I'm sure that Mr. Dyson appreciates your life long commitment to providing him with word of mouth advertisements.

I misspoke...he has the most money making patents of the last 20 yrs (except for maybe 3M's and others sack patents).  And others have more (in numbers) and more worthless patents (few or no competitors even bother to knock-off).  Speaking of uprights and canisters.

It would be quite a subjective calculation, though? Number of patents vs. revenue? Say you have a product with 10 function / design patents, how much are each 'worth' to revenue earned over 12 months?
