Everyone loves Dyson and everything they offer. And we like to make people happy. So we’re giving away one Dyson Slim DC18 Lightweight Vacuum to one lucky winner. No purchase necessary, so go ahead and enter already: Enter the Dyson Slim Giveaway.
The Dyson Slim is the latest offering by wildly popular Dyson. It’s lightweight, it’s versatile, it’s bagless and uses the same great non-clogging cyclonic technology — it’s just way lighter.
Update: We’ve had to end the contest early, due to threats of dealership cancellation from Dyson (and we can’t afford to lose Dyson business). We’re not sure why they object to this contest, but we will comply. We will be announcing the winner in the next GoVacuum newsletter.
This past week, a couple of us GoVacuum-ers were in Sin City for the VDTA (Vacuum Dealers Trade Association) Convention. We got to talk to a whole slew of manufacturers, see new products, and swap ideas with other vacuum dealers around the country.
Dyson unveiled their newest offering with much hype and good marketing buzz. In the end, it looks like it’s the discontinued DC04PL Canister re-worked to have an electric powerhead (so it will be effective on carpet) and a new name (the Dyson Stowaway). I’m sure it will appeal to those who have always wanted a Dyson, but don’t have a large home with lots of space to waste. It also looks shinier. The people who demonstrated it for me were very helpful and knowledgeable, and the new powerhead seemed very easy to maneuver — it mimicked the turns of my wrist, like the Miele powerheads. It’s not available for sale yet, obviously, but I’ll update here when it is.
Below is a photo of my favorite poster from the convention (yes, I’m obsessed) :
You can see all our photos from the convention at Flickr, including some action shots of the Dyson Stowaway. I have some videos linked below. All in all, I have to say, vacuum salesmen/women are more interesting than people give them credit for. Of course, I’m probably biased.
