Why Dyson is different.
Original Message Jul 10, 2010 4:06 am

A really cool insight to the workings behind the company and how they develop what I believe to be some the most well designed vacuums with overall good-great build quality in history.

Hi Venson

Sad but true.....should be a demo vac for every vac that is on the shelf.....ready for a test run....demo rugs ect.. but it seems to be a thing of the past. Thats why an indie is the best place to shop/research and demo a vac....from those who really care and know what works and what doesnt....something a major chain cant/wont offer.

just my view

Buying a cat in the bag has been a mainstay of the big box retailers, nothing new. Indies had and have the advantage to provide buyers/shoppers with their expertise.

That's true but what's their present market share these days? And can they better promote themselves?

Hard to say Venson. Safe to say as returns and refunds have dipped into the profit margins of big box retailers, these retailers have preferred to carry and sell less expensive vacuums. You've seen this trend over the last few years as the recession has taken its toll on buyers and sellers. Buying a $200 cat in the bag if returned isn't as costly as a $600.

Seeing is believing. A very poignant reason for not putting headlights on dyson vacuums.

Well, maybe I'm being openminded at long last but if ever there was proof DYSON DOESN'T DEEP CLEAN, this is the proof! Although on another matter the video about "dont let moisture into your vacuum" showing the Miele S& completely clogged up doesn't convince me that the internals are as well protected as SEBO. For a start all their mechanisms are far better made than the S7's floor plate.

Hi Vacmanuk: ORECK, accused by dyson fans [and its workers], of being a surface cleaners uses the same demo as these in its Clean Home Centers to make the point to customers that ORECKS pick up much more embedded dirt than dysons ever could. Plus takes less back and forth passes. Plus... ORECK's get lint that fuses to rug surfaces better than dysons, because of dyson whimpy brush rolls. Seeing is believing. ORECK sells many uprights to current dyson owners with these match up demoes.
