But of course  
Any current rebates are NOT through Dyson.  Also, LNT and BBB both have Dyson's new products, although their advertising schedule is not as busy as some other retailers.  The 20% coupon has definitely made things interesting in ALL stores!!

Interesting.  DC21 is only in select BBB stores and they don't carry any DC14's.  LNT not wanting to carry SLIM?  They haven't started carrying it yet.  I'm not sure who's giving you their opinions.

Sometime next month.  Don't have an exact date yet.

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY ladies.
 
Lowe's has joined the 20 percent off floorcare bandwagon too including dysons (20 PERCENT off is making things DICEY for dyson):  The DC18 Slim with an MSRP of $469 BEFORE 20 percent off with discount taken at the register.  (No mail-in-rebate from retailer and reimbursement from maker taking months and months for customers' refunds.)  Offer good from May 13-27, 2007.  Excludes special order.  See store for details.  
 
Now there are 3 big box retailers offering 20 percent off dysons (AND IN ADVERTISED STORE SALES) including the new dyson models:  Lowe's, BBBY and LNT.  What happened to dyson MAP?    BEST BUY, SEARS, Kohl's, TARGET and Circuit City Stores' Managements must be absolutely livid.  How can they compete on dyson prices with 3 major retailers now offering 20 percent off dyson MSRP?  Including the new DC18 and DC21.  Can't.  Dum dum dum dum.  Things are getting very interesting for dyson retailers.   Are $100 Store Giftcards in the making and possibly combined with discounts of 10-20 percent too off MSRP on dyson products.  Let's see what the summer brings.
 
Also included in the 20 percent off at Lowes is the dyson DC14 for $429 before discount.  EUREKA Maxima bagless for $59 (b/d).  HOOVER bagless WT for $159 (b/d); HOOVER Elite Rewind $99 (b/d).  BISSELL Healthy Home $249 (b/d).  And the Electrolux Intensity for $299 (b/d).
 
This looks like the best ADVERTISED sales offer of the week, especially on the dysons for all you dyson fans.  ANd Lowe's provides the weight, cord length and warranty periods for their advertised sales on vacuums.  Other retailers should follow suit and do the same.
 
BEST BUY has the usual array but can't compare with Lowe's.  EUREKA Maxima $89, Eureka Boss SMart Vac 4870 for $149, Intensity for $299, BISSELL MOmentum Bagless upright for $99, BISSELL Healthy Home for $249 and dyson DC18 Slim for $469.  Lowe's gives you 20 percent off of these same prices.
 
Circuit City has the BISSELL Healthy Home for $249 and the dyson DC14 for $429.  Lowe's gives you 20 percent off these same models and prices.  Dah!
 
Sears has a closeout on the white Progressive bagged canister for $289, bagged cann for $39, BISSELL Velocity for $119, dyson DC14 for $429 and HOOVER All Terrain $279.  
 
Kohl's has the BISSELL Momentum for $99, and BISSELL Velocity for $149.
 
KMart has the bagged Dirt Devil Breeze for $42, bagless Dirt Devil Swivel Glide for $69, BISSELL QuickSteamer for $69 and HOOVER bgaless WT for $159.  (Lowe's has the same HOOVER for the same price PLUS a 20 percent off).  
 
Finally, Oreck with ads in the dailies and the Sunday Smart Source on the XL Ultra and Deluxe.  And look for Dave's new TV ads for his "lightweight" 8 pound XL upright.  Complete with backdrops of Oreck's nationwide network of Clean Home Centers and satisfied Oreck customers.  No actors in the ad for Dave.  He plays the leading role as top salesman and product supporter.
 
That's all folks.

Just heard some news and it was confirmed that after the current Kohl's sales expire on May 22, a new sale will be in effect.  EXTRA 15 percent off (for Kohl's credit card holders) on everything from May 23-June 6.   This includes sale, regular, and clearance priced merchandise.  It's good for ONE DAY ONLY on anything and everything in the store.
