Dyson uses old school propulsion. I like my roomba the best. Now that is innovation imo.
We have a couple of dysons (DC43 and a DC45) but the one I'm looking forward to is the Dyson 360 Eye robot. It might give Roomba a run for its money.
Got a tip for us?

I thought this was gonna be a thread about how somebody's 6,1 sucked coffee up right off the table… I remember, when the nMP was announced, a poster postulating that would be a problem.
PS: My wife loves her Dyson. Works pretty well for me too.

Am going to cry laughing if this turns into a 10 page discussion on vacuum cleaners
I always found their products to be a bit cr*p. I had a very expensive hoover from them that kept blocking up , the interior design was awful . Looked nice on the outside though. Ended up putting it in a skip. lol
A bit like a mac ( ok the macs nice inside too ! ) superficially ....
At least the vid shows macs aren't just glorified toys like all the pc fanboys love prattling on about.

I tried both on my carpets it was a mess. Had to bring in my Kaercher Shop vacuum to clean it all up...
After 2 years hopefully he's worked it out!^^^^Yup the do and that's a good thing

In my experience there is absolutely nothing people won't argue about,especially on the internet!
I was spending $100 every year on a new vacuum because after a few months the suction would drop off severely and after a year most just stopped working.
Dyson was $500 but with a 5 year warrantee, so we figured we wouldn't be any worse off if it only lasted 5 years.
That was in 2007 and it works just as well today as it did that first day. YMMV, but I'll never buy anything else.

I have a Miracle Mate Platinum canister vac that my parents gave me when I first moved out. Powerful, all metal, and built like a tank. It's similar in design to their Compact vacuum that they've had since before I was born.
Unfortunately it's *incredibly* loud, and I think it's a little overkill for my small condo. I was looking around at alternatives a little while ago, specifically offerings from Miele and Rowenta, but was turned off by how plasticy and lightweight they felt compared to what I was used to.

There's something to be said for machinery from a certain era in their evolution. Consider Hayes SmartModems, and HP's original LaserJets. Metal frames and bodies, built like tanks and will likely outlive most of you guys.
I remember the house lights dimming when the original HP LaserJet warmed up.
Me too, those stuck on dysons just don't know how good it can get.
Haven't tried the newer Kirby units, but the ones from the 60's were great and had a big ~6" fan/flywheel.
Consumer reports is notoriously biased, only accepting review and data from subscribers. Kind of a narrow base, and perhaps not applicable. You need to look at some of the more independent vacuum cleaner review sites and sales outlets to get a better idea of the current offerings and how well they fare in the real world. There are a few of them.
Consumer Reports is often outdated. The test of this fact? Look for the highest-rated (whatever thingy) at your local store. They won't have it because it's last year's model. Just look for patterns and avoid poor craftsmanship and poor design. Warranties don't mean squat if the product is crapola.
Both are design-centric companies so it's not that surprising to see Dyson using a Mac Pro. It's a pretty good design but the value just isn't there any longer for outdated hardware.
It's also a bit sad if we're surprised and excited to see a Mac Pro actually being used for pro work in the wild.
The Dyson bladeless fans look very cool.
