On the contrary. Dyson has not won any independent vacuum tests but usually ranks in the bottom half. Dyson is high price, mainly marketing with gimmicks not results. Dyson is the self marketing part of Jobs without the genius.
It could be that I've just always chosen badly though. Which vacuum would you recommend?
The whole design of the handheld makes cleaning easier and it looks like a laser gun from a computer game.
Ended up going with the Black and Decker. Slightly lower price, bigger battery, and the wand is a detachable hose
Even in the standard set, some of the included attachments are worthless, and you ought to buy the extras.
The laser gun is the most versatile vacuum I have ever owned though. And for some reason I use it much more than any other vacuum I've owned.
It can't just be because of the cute face...

Reddit made a vacuum repair technician _famous_ with the same question...

My comment was about
"Dyson did pioneer the bagless vacuum cleaners, and their technology works"
It's louder then any other and cleaning results are worse. It's not remarkable tech.
On the contrary, I bought a refurbished Dyson two years ago and I find it: 1) much quieter (I don't have to yell to speak over it); 2) it is much more reliable at getting everything out of my carpet than any vacuum I've ever owned.
I assume if they make a car they will make it simple to find the fuses and pull out the spare tyre.
A cyclone is a long established method of dust removal industrially, and an efficient method of doing so. Compared to a typical Hoover at the time they were introduced they are orders of magnitude better and more reliable. Since then Hoover and all the other manufacturers have basically copied, as far as they are able, everything Dyson does. Hardly indicative of a terrible product.
They can lack longevity due to use of plastics that tend to age harden over a decade, but that's about all I can fault them for, aside from moving production to Malaysia - but that's hardly unique in manfacturing.
Some of their other products have been less successful - the now discontinued washing machine was another transformative product miles ahead of alternatives. Sadly they couldn't make them profitably. The fan heater is much harder to like being 10x the cost of alternatives but not 10x better at heating a room.
Dyson cleaners frequently get Consumer's Association (UK independent home appliance tests) Best Buy. They are always towards the top as far as performance goes.
It was exceedingly painful to empty - I had to take it outside because opening it spewed dust everywhere, then I had to put on gloves and scoop the dust and gunk out of the unit and put it into a garbage bag. Every time I did that I hated myself for buying into the 'bagless' Dyson marketing bullshit.
Yeah, gonna take this opinion seriously.
Nice try, Horst.
