Can we at least include the full story?

Quote:

Dyson has said the medical ventilator it developed to help treat patients with Covid-19 is no longer required.

It began developing a device in response to a government appeal for firms to take part in a national effort to increase the number of ventilators.

But in a note to staff, founder Sir James Dyson said that demand for ventilators had been less than first envisaged.

The Cabinet Office said that tests on ventilators are still ongoing.

Dyson's ventilator has been undergoing clinical tests in recent days and the government had previously said it intended to order 10,000 machines.

But Sir James told his staff that only a quarter of those available were currently being used.

As a result, he said, the government did not need to acquire as many of them.

My wife bought one of his fancy dan cleaners, basically it’s shite.
Transferred his production to the Far East years ago but kept his design team in the UK.
So why bother flogging your puddings out on the shop floor to make a company a success to see your job shipped out to the Far East.

Of course they outsell others, they’re the ultimate triumph of smooth advertising of basically domestic goods as fashionable must have accessories.... at eye watering prices.

A Dyson get it right. I’m enraged at you calling it a Hoover.

I always badmouth hoovers, they suck!

Which is more than our Dyson does. We’ve had it stuffed and mounted, being a vacuum cleaner it should have been able to stuff itself, but it was asthmatic.

If you don`t use it, I`ll take it for parts, when can you deliver?

What model is yours, the wall mounted rechargeable....?

The shark vacuum cleaner with the hair remover is better than any Dyson in my opinion.

Have to handle with care if you aren't already bald though.

Got a Dyson V6 and it's been crap from day one, the brush head actually caught fire, the battery fucked up after one year, got a shark with a mains cable and it,s brilliant.

The brush heads channel clog up all the time on ours and you have to take it off to clean it on a daily basis which is piss poor by any standards.

Dyson hoovers are shit. We're on our second one, which needs to go and get fixed every few months.

Can anyone remember the washing machine they brought out that shredded clothes?

Proof that well executed branding can over-ride all sorts of failings.

Probably good news for coronavirus sufferers that they never reached the ICUs.
