I am sort of worried that a lot of internet sentiments go back to just one person. I also have a vaguely negative impression of Dyson, and realized it came from that same Reddit thread. It feels like every internet community just recycles information from previous threads and only rarely gets input from reality.

FWIW, I have a Dyson wireless handheld vacuum. It's pretty good, but I can't way if it's worth the price.

It's not only that thread that is giving Dyson a bad name. They've been selling overhyped, over-marketed products for years. I've heard the same from multiple sources. As multiple commenters have said here, they're like Bose in that aspect. They're not bad as such, but there are much better products out there that are not heavily marketed.
