I think Dyson is the best example that shows marketing really works. I've yet to find a single Dyson product of quality. Their vacuums are downright terrible.

I'm surprised to hear that sentiment about the vacuums in particular!

I found the v11 I bought to be vastly better than previous vacuums I've owned, with excellent power despite being cordless, really light and much much quieter.

I haven't used any other Dyson products; I opted to buy Rabbit air purifiers over a Dyson Air.

Miele. Every Miele I've found is superior, hands down, to its Dyson equivalent.

Maybe true for corded vacuums, but the Dyson cordless models have superior battery life.

It's actually the cordless ones in particular that I think are so terrible. They get jammed just about every time you use them, the max button gets stuck, the battery doesn't last, etc. I struggle to think of a positive for them if I'm honest. We've owned two of them and have vowed never again.

Dyson proves we care about beautiful things. Aesthetics matter.

This is most weird point for Dyson. Why their design considered good? IMO it's like Evangelion, why Evangalion for home appliance?
