Wow....did it say 600 units in just 4 TV airings.  Amazing.  And it will be back for an encore sale this month!  That must be an all time record for HSN floorcare/vacuum sales.
 
Now, presuming none are returned within 30 days, then that's 1.2 units sold in just 3 short months by HSN for each of the 500 dyson engineers.  Not too shabby!

Thank you No Loss:
 
Now listen carefully and I will explain very slowly so even you can understand.  Here goes.  Get ready.
 
If you divide 600 dyson units sold by HSN (regardless of the time period and TV airings) by 500 total dyson engineers, the result is 1.2 units.  That's something that we old timers called basic mathematics before all the high tech HDTV and computers.    
 
While you are brushing up your basic math, you may want to have your computer do a spell check for the correct spelling of "negative."

Hey HARDSELL:
 
Who knows for how long these 500 dyson engineers will be employed?  Why?  Dyson can't price its products and has to give them away (after 9 months) to get them to market.  And after 3 months of launch, its biggest nationwide USA retailer (HSN) sells the latest and greatest dyson canister (over 2 years in the making) at a rate of 1.2 units per engineer.    And then the retailer boasts its out of stock and takes a month to reorder (maybe).  
 
Looks like you can take some lessons from the use of spell check too.

Gee, I thought this thread was about the dyson DC21 Stowaway canister and HSN.  And its dismal sales.  
 
Well since you changed course, let's recap from my personal vantage point.  In the last 9 months as a vacuum cleaner customer, I purchased 4 new HOOVER floorcare products:  WT Supreme, HOOVER ZEE, the HOOVER Floormate, and the HOOVER Slider.  I even gifted a Slider to a Forum member (I won't count that one.  If I did count, the HOOVER Sliders would number over 12, all as 2006 Christmas gifts to friends and family).  And I bought 3 new ORECK uprights: albeit 2 as gifts for family members, but still I purchased and paid.  And I bought one lone DC07 pink which doesn't work for my needs.  I gifted the dyson away and now it doesn't work for the donee's needs, so its getting returned.  I'm trying to determine what to do with it now.  Maybe trade on a RICCAR cann?    Maybe save as a collectable?  Do you think James would autograph for me?
 
Have you purchased more than one dyson (I believe it's the old and out of date DC07)?  Like the DC21?   Have you purchased any other other vacuum brands, even if not for yourself but as gifts?  Care to share.

Hello Jimmy P/OT:
 
375.00 for a DC21 Stowaway.  Is that British pounds, Euros and/or Monopoly money?
