Dyson the person had one very successful idea (the bagless vacuum) and brought it to market himself after being ignored by the then-incumbent manufactures of existing models.

Dyson the company has been riding that one idea since, and I agree the rest of their products are over-priced luxury items. In fact their vacuums are over-priced as well now.

Dyson rubs me the wrong way as well personally by purporting to be a "patriotic Brit" moaning about the current state of the country. Then upping sticks to Malaysia with the company HQ in tow.

He started with the ball barrow but I have a dyson vacuum and it's OK. The main part does have a lot of suction that I am pretty sure is eating the carpet. The wand stick thing attachment though is absolutely the worst designed product ever produced. It's impossible to wield and bend into tight spaces. The vacuum itself is just too heavy as well. I'll go with an upright bagged version though for better Hepa filtering or a canister in the future.

Dyson really does have good marketing though.
