Dyson's first retail store opens as part of a trial run
Original Message Dec 10, 2009 7:58 am

Dyson opens its first pop-up shop today, created by the product company’s in-house team. If Dyson deems the venture a success, it will consider opening a permanent store.

Can you tell us where the complaint department is? is it at the front or at the back ? This place looks like a hair salon, this looks like a photochop......

Now, now MOLE -- chic shopping venues don't have complaint departments but the more customer-friendly ones do make sure to keep smelling salts on hand in their First Aid kits for when they hit you with the bill.

It takes a huge amount of money and resources to operate company stores. I think Oreck and Dyson could make a nice partnership, since for the most part the products are complimentary. Oreck could even sell little dust masks for bagless vacuum owners to wear when emptying their dust canisters. I don't think Oreck will ever sell their own bagless vacuum.

A perfect opportunity for Oreck to add a freebe of value. They could give a Dyson with each Oreck. Customers would finally get a vacuum to clean with and let the kids play with the Oreck.

No complaint dept. necessary - Dyson's are perfect.

My 5 year old grand daughter, tall for her age and soon to be 6, uses an ORECK XL Classic to help her Mom with the cleaning of rugs and floors. Great way to start the youngsters off on the right foot around the home. Now her younger sisters try too, while the oldest who gives instructions. It's a joy to watch. They love their ORECK, so does their Mom, for obvious reasons.

It is great that they have toys to teach them the fundamentals of vacuuming. Won't be long till they can use a real vacuum.

The nice thing about using an ORECK is that while my grands are playing they are actually working.

No doubt they are working. Pushing and pulling a vacuum and not removing dirt does remove the play from oreck toys.

I detect a tone of jealousy in you that youngsters can use/operate ORECKs with better results than some adults using them and other full size brands. Have your joke here at their expense and ORECK. But it doesn't change the fact that at 8-9 pounds ORECK is a wonderful vacuum tool/toy, call it what you will, to start youngsters into a home cleaning routine and keep them later as adult customers.

Just as dyson copied ORECK with the retail store front venue, not saying it will be a success for dyson as it has for ORECK, you are envious that ORECK trumps dyson with a smaller, lighter, better vacuum product that is simple and easy even for pre-teens to use. It's a priceless feature/life lesson for parents and their children to enjoy using ORECKs and continue doing so later. Sorry you missed the opportunity. Sure your son never had any interest in using your Rainbow.
