Cannot disagree more. You chose to "listen" to a few “actual purchasers” on an individual site (what does this mean? 5 to 20 opinions?...what good is that?) Vs. relying on the Consumer Reports’ several thousand (maybe millions) reliability reviews. I cannot understand this at all.

K, got the consumer reports love there. Plenty of unscientific, clueless positive feedback here, though, so I'm sure I'll be happy with my purchase. Move along now...

Will some sort of e-mail be sent out after my item has shipped? And will I get a tracking number? Haven't heard anything yet, so I'm assuming I'm in the Monday batch.

Ok, I ordered this Early Monday morning. And the message still tells me my order is in. Will I get an email or some kind of message from woot when it ships? It tells me to click on my order number link. Which I dont have a link. But i do have the order #

Any Ideas on how to find the status. Please help.
Thanks!

Got mine in today.
All i can say is WOW!!!!

I vacuumed what I thought was a clean 8x5 throw rug. It had been vacuumed 2 days prior using my old vacuum cleaner and it appeared clean.

It almost filled up the canister half way.

Great vacuum

Was wondering about shipping too. Hoped to get it the 22nd. But I guess it'll just show up mid week now.

By the way, bought a Square Trade 2yr extended warranty for 30% off 2 day after buying this unit from Woot. It was $41.00 w/discount. Probably too much, but it's a bit of piece of mind. Not much, just a little!

stormygoddess wrote:those 20% off coupons actually exclude Dyson (& anything else really pricey, like Mielle, Wusthof, Waterford crystal, cribs, etc) if you look at the fine print at the bottom. So you wouldn't have been able to get 20% off the vacuum anyway.

If you just ask they usually let you use the coupons on anything at BBB, regardless of what the fine print says. My sister-in-law used it on a Dyson, no problem.

Ummm. Mine didn't ship yet. I stepped on a Cheerio a week ago and have refused to clean it up unless I use my Dyson.

I have the same issue. I ordered mine mid afternoon Monday and it has been a week now and my status hasn't changed from "order is in". Is something wrong with my order because some people have reported already getting theirs?

Thanks

same with me! I hope it ships today

This is the first time I've ordered anything off woot. Is this normally how long it takes to ship?

ALsoccer19 wrote:same with me! I hope it ships today

Me too! I talked it up alllllll weekend...the suspense is killing me!

I'm still seeing the "order in" status as well; just getting a wee bit anxious! Hopefully it all goes well and my order changes to "shipped" soon!

Before you vacuum up that cheerio with an inferior sucker, check this out. Under “Enter reference” use your order number. I didn’t use an account number and all the other stuff is self explanatory. Mine shipped on the 22nd but no update on Woot.

I was wondering when my order will ship out? It has been six days since I ordered it and there hasn't been a notification of shipping... It may be because part of those days were a weekend, but I am just very excited to get this vacuum and want to make sure it gets here.
(We once bought a camera on woot and they ran out before shipping ours to us and we had to cancel the order and get a refund, so I just want to make sure that isn't what is occuring)

Checked this, thank you for the link, no info yet. I am now getting sad because I am going to have to use my old POS vacuum at least 1 more time.

I used that link but it says no information found. I am guessing that means it hasnt shipped at all yet. I am kinda frustrated since my items I ordered from the woot off have shipped but this hasnt.

Breaks the unwritten inter-web's rule of waiting for a ship notice.

My Woot order page still says order placed, but fedex says it will be here tomorrow...happy times!

Thanks! Apparently putting in only zip code is not enough, need to put in country too, even though it doesn't say its required.

Shipped on 22nd, ETA 28th, coming from TX.

Jumping on the thank you bandwagon -- apparently it's supposed to be at my house by tomorrow!!! Woopie!!!

DAMN IT!

No update to my account, tried the FedEx link and there are no records found. My bank account was charged but that was done without shipping or, as I can gather, knowing if there are enough units to fill all the orders. Am I missing something? Why is it so hard to find out what's going on with my item?

Thanks for the link. It didn't work for me until I put in the country and zip code. I'm getting mine tomorrow!

Same here. I'll keep checking back.

agingdragqueen wrote:We've sent out a chunk already, the rest will be shipped on Monday which is also the fifth business day, hooray!

It's Monday. Would really appreciate a status update or a shipping number on the one I ordered.

Dear Woot,
I hope you know that I would never question your integrity or challenge your skills at shipping orders, but I am starting to worry. I recognize that the price paid for this Dyson multiplied by my excitement to receive this leaves me at the edge of my seat, but what gives? Usually I at least receive a tracking number the next day, although the unit doesn't actually ship right way; this time I've got nothing.

Yeah where are our tracking numbers? I am assuming you guys must be shipping these a little late today?

Thanks, worked for me.

Shame on Woot for making me wait on a confirmation though it had been shipped last week.

Well I sent them an email and this is what I got back.

"Please remember the confirmation email states that it can take up to 5 business days for the item to ship out to you. The date of purchase, weekends, and holidays are not counted as business days for purposes of processing your order. At present the order has tracking data assigned to it but it may take a few days for the tracking data to update with valid information"

Sounds like the rest went out today.

Just got my shipping confirmation email...ordered mid-day Monday.

My tracking number / email just arrived. 'Course I go to FedEx's website and it says that it shipped out on the 22nd. *shrugging*
Would've been nice to know on the 22nd, but technically Woot had until the end of business today for the whole "5 business day" thing to expire. No biggie. I'll get it when I get it. Am I really THAT excited to vacuum? Ehh... It's like getting a new clothes iron.
:-|

Wahoo!!! Got a tracking number, but Fedex doesn't have a record of it yet, so I expect that it has not left TX yet.

My crazy just got calmed down. I got a FedEx tracking number!

We've had our Dyson for 7 years and our hose just recently got a hole in it. A little duct tape and it works fine. I'm really looking forward to getting this new one.

Costner wrote:I never said Dyson was copying their design from someone else, I merely said they weren't as innovative as they would have you believe.

The cyclone design can be found in many vacuums that cost much less money. Some of them originally licensed the technology from Dyson, and others have similar (but not identical) designs - yet all of them cost much less.

In the scope of things aside from the bright colors and clever marketing, they just aren't that unique in the marketplace. I'll give them credit for their marketing campaign and commercials, but as far as the product doing what it is designed to do it simply isn't superior as we are lead to believe.

In fact, years ago Hoover had a similar "cyclonic" model but discontinued it because of poor sales. Dyson's design was perhaps better to some degree, but the reality is he was just better at marketing his product and he has been rewarded handsomely for doing so.

A clever marketing strategy still doesn't justify a $500 price-tag for a new model or $250-$300 for refurb in my opinion.

How many cheap Bissel or Hoovers will you buy in 10 years? We were going through $100 - $150 vacuums every year or two. Then we got our Dyson. We've had it 7, going on 8 years without an issue. I figure the $499 spent on the Dyson has saved us minimally $150 probably more like $300 over the years.

The owner said that bagless vacuums eventually buttafuoco because they still have a filter that clogs and must be changed (but that the Dyson was overly complicated and its filter couldn't be changed by the end user) He didn't seem to mind all the repair work though!

Interesting because the filter is removable and it's recommended that you remove it and rinse it out every 3 months. Not by a repair shop, by the consumer - I do it all the time.

It wasn't until today I was aware the item was shipped FedEx. My APO address will not accept a FedEx shipment. Therefore my package will be sent back to you. How can I provide a new shipping address to recieve my item?
