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.

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.

And sometimes they buy a Dyson when the Dyson picks up more baking soda.

Maybe dyson will in tool mode but never in upright mode. Give dyson twice as many more passes over the same carpet area than an ORECK and ORECK still gets more embedded baking soda. In fact its exactly what ORECK in-store demo'ers allow the customers to do using baking soda.
