Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

James Dyson has voiced his feelings in regard to what it will take to save Britain's manufacturing industry in a report commissioned by the country's Conservative Party.  An interesting read and plenty of UK reader comments follow.

M00seUK and vacmanuk, I'll be glad to learn what you think.

Looks like Sir James' conservative candidate Cameron didn't make the cut with only 309 votes.  Neither did Brown or Clegg.  Bad scitchiation.  Especially with Greece and the euro.  Our strongest and best ally is having a very bad day.  Any predictions on when the next election will be held?  I'm betting before Nov 2010.  Have to see what the Vegas line says.

BTW anyone who thinks finger fumble caused the 998 NYSE DOW decline in 6 minutes yesterday must be a bagless vacuum buyer with the mantra the higher the price the better the product!

Oreck would be a good product rather than just an expensive broom if higher price was part of the criteria.

Amazing you Brits.  Brown steps down; Cameron and Clegg, as unlikely partners as dyson and ORECK, form a coalition UK government.  Wonder if this is a precursor of things to come in the vacuum world?

Curious...are the dyson new hires and  his current team all dedicated to the design/engineering  of his vacs or are they spread out in diff divisions..alotted so much time for each project.....how many design team/engineers does his compitition have [riccar pansc hvr..ect] .

With his new hires...would that not reflect as  a positive for dyson and the future.

Hi turtle,

Is this an update of the original article posted here?  Dyson's claim was to take on 300 and some personnel for design.  He did not say what exactlly they'd be working on.  He also did not say when this would happen and he also left a big "if" in regard as to whether the UK educational system could provide worthy candidates for the proposed slots. (Whoa, what a kick in the teeth.)

I don't think you need 300 or more people to come up with a bright idea just for a vacuum cleaner unless you're looking to flood the market with a dozen or so models all at once.  It not cost effective.  One would think, there's a Dyson fridge, TV or whatever else in the plan.  In any event the gist of the article I posted a few weeks ago was more a press release than anything else.  No newsworthy "where, when and how" was included.

The other odd twist here is that if my recall is correct the amount of new hires will not compensate in relevant fashion for all those lost when he moved manufacturing out of the UK.

Hi Venson, turtle...

It's not an update.  Hertz posted the same article under a new thread yesterday [along with the dyson car lift trick] that you posted here on this thread.

Carmine what are you talking about? I never posted this article. Only the vacuum lift trick. Next time don't just use your memory.
