Nice video.  Catchy "FREE 5 Year Warranty."  Interesting approach.  Buy the product and the warranty comes free!
 
Saw the DC14 ad on "Dancing with the Stars" yesterday evening.  With an American male's voice over.  It's about time dyson upgrades the old commercial.  It's lost its pizzaz!

Hello,
 
HSN has video (edited from the hour long show) just of the Stowaway presentation.

Yes, I did.  I recorded it on the DVR.
 
I was disappointed for a nationwide launch.  Certainly not a show stopper.
 
First, the HOOVER Spin Scrub demo (Julie is gem.  HOOVER didn't have HOOVER reps like her when I was a dealer); then the hand mop (which I didn't understand coming right after the HOOVER Spin Scrub) and then the dyson DC21.  Too short and rushed and the same old same old.  
 
Dave needs to update the dyson demo, especially for the DC21 Stowaway.  The cat litter, pet hair, coffee grinds is loosing its pizzaz!  
 
I noted Dave's slick move to compact the cat litter down (away from the shroud) into the bin before he went over the pet hair.  And he still had a hard time getting ALL the pet hair up even with several passes over the same spot and going slow to demo the PN head.  This is not embedded pet hair either.  He didn't walk over it to set it in.  It's on the rug's surface.  This squares with the Which? report of dyson's difficulty for getting up pet hair compared to other vacuums in the normal number of passes.
 
$499 is a high price tag.  And unlike the HOOVER Spin Scrub which sold over 500 in the short time on air (100,000 in total), HSN did not announce the number of DC21's that sold.  BTW I own that HOOVER spin Scrub and use it regularly.  It's worth its weight in gold.

I thought the demo was fine. But then again I don't like watching vacuum cleaners pick up cat little or coffee grounds. I prefer to see the vacuum demoed on different types of surfaces like low and high pile carpet, berber etc. And also see the features of the vacuum.
 
By the way the DC21 is now featured on Dyson US website.

Sounds exactly like Julie HOOVER demoed the FloorMate Spin Scrub:  On hardwood floors, tile, vinyl, wet and dry spills, clean and dry all the different surfaces.  Demo, dirty, dump, and redemo over and over.  Sold 500 HOOVER Floor Mates in less than 15 minutes.  That's over 33 sold per minute of air time.

It would be an interesting exercise to count the number of words Dave used to pitch the dyson DC21 Stowaway versus the number Julie used in selling the HOOVER Floor Mate.

"Believe none of what you read and half of what you see "is the way the popular saying goes.  My preference is to say believe half of what you read and see.  The tricky part is deciphering the correct half!
 
HSN has sold over 100,000 FloorMates.  It is the best selling HOOVER product HSN sells.  HOOVER probably sells millions of its Floor Mates every year.
 
I sold the first HOOVER Floor washer in the late 50's.  It was an excellent idea whose time had not come.  Very few people bought and used them.  But the ones that did, loved them.  And HOOVER discontinued after a few years but supported them with parts (like suds bars) for decades.  
 
When HOOVER reintro'ed the Floor washer as the Floor Mate in 2000, it was $249 and not yet a good product (water bin too small, brushes and cleaning swath too small, too expensive).  After several redesigns, HOOVER perfected it and the price came way down.  It's an excellent floorcare product to have in a home's cleaning arsenal.  
 
About 75 percent of my house is Mohawk tile and I use the HOOVER Floormate regularly (just with warm tap water, no solution).  I have the same model HSN sold but I have the hose and all the attachments.  It works very well.  And clean up of the machine, filter, and brushes is a snap.  The HOOVER FM at $134 is a bargain basement price.  You won't read my review on HSN.  I didn't provide one.  Most people who are happy with the product don't.  But they tell their friends WHEN they are asked.
 
I mentioned recently on the Forum that two of the cleaning products I see most often here in Sun City Aliante North Las Vegas (A Del Webb retirement community of about 3500 persons) are Orecks and HOOVER Floor Mates.  People love them and tell me so WHEN I ask.
