Science and Fiction


Several clients have referenced Dyson recently so I thought that I would post this. Not only are the commercials annoying but the designs seem to be self-congratulatory science fiction. The details remind me more of what Han Solo might want on the millenium falcon than what a person might want to see on a cleaning product. The insanely bloated $500+ price tag is probably necessary for this monument to Polycarbonate because as a vacuum they are quite lame. According to consumer reports " ...in measured testing, Dyson doesn't significantly outperform others when it comes to cleaning carpet or bare floors." That means that at 1/5th of the price of a Eureka you get a better performing product! Yikes. Also, while I agree it is cool, why do we want to see our dirt?
