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.

Maytag were similar in the UK. They appeared for about three years then disappeared following their takeover with Whirlpool and since then no vacuum cleaners, just the larger household appliances. Even one of their vacuums was a best buy rated by Which.

Maytag had almost 70 years of history in appliance production and sales in the USA before it tackled the UK market. I supect the vacuum was a HOOVER USA with Maytag name plate, common occurence here in the US before Whirlpool acquired Maytag/HOOVER brand.

Well, you may recognise it as a Hoover in the U.S. This was the Maytag U5131 that we had in the U.K:

An updated pic of the latest version of the HOOVER Power Max approximately year 2000. I believe it is called the Power Max 11 Model U5242.

Power Max is probably one of the best recent made and sold HOOVER uprights on the market. Know some satisfied users who have had them for years and years with little service except for a belt and paper bags.
