    This apparently, and in the end you will never be allowed to use it properly…

    Sorry Harry. Our mini Dyson gets used all the time and is pretty good. Pretty old now but a cheap replacement battery has kept it going nicely. In fact by the sound of it it’s being used now.

    A friend’s dad who was a collector brought some once and then I got it – it was fabulous. I’ve never felt the same about any champagne that I’ve bought in any wine shop though 🙁 so got to agree with you there

    Ftfy (sort of) time for a service, or warranty job?

    Yes the Dyson hardly qualifies as a major aberation.

    its not rubbish then, its just broken – luckily Dyson stuff is pretty cost effective to fix. I think where Dyson stuff falls down is where they try to do too much in one product – their uprights work great as uprights but the hoses and attachments, while been clever in how they integrate are almost un-usable in some cases

    Champagne. I don’t get it

    Thats largely because we never get our hands on the good stuff – the french keep hold of all that

    I’d never buy Dyson products again. there are far more reliable equivalents out there for much less money.

    this is well shit for the money it cost (but it’s probably the way it’s managed as the thing itself is quite good once it turns up)

    oh and let’s not forget

    He asked for expensive and rubbish – Even if you don’t like nuclear weapons, you have to accept that the science behind successfully firing a missile from underwater with a range of 4000 plus miles, that will drop 14 warheads that are virtually unstoppable due to traveling at up to 13000 mph, and accurate to within 10 metres, leaves us something that is expensive and freaking awesome

    The most awesome thing is that they were so good that nobody dared use them.

    High Rollers.

    Manchester trams are awful, a genuine step backwards.
    They won’t take bikes, and are more expensive than the trains they replaced.

    I’d also say Dysons. Don’t know anyone who thinks they are any better than a standard vacuum. Eye watering prices, not really made very well either. Easy to fix but they need to be. We switched to a £80 Hoover bag less which has been faultless and works just as well (lighter too!).

    over engineered rubbish, accuracy in a weapon where you can’t miss !

    but is that because they were awesome or because they’re expensive – have we been saved from global armageddon simply because the powers that be are too spend thrift to press the button? Like an expensive wine thats so expensive it never gets opened. Theres never been a occasion quite special enough to let off the biggest fireworks in the box.

    I defense of Dysons ours has provided 16 years of reliable service

    Apprently when Dyson were really dominating sales he heard a rumor that people were telling porkies about his products to sell others

    He went into John Lewis in Bristol and asked about vacuum cleaners. He was told that although Dysons were good the were made of poor materials compared to rival brands. He got out a hammer and attacked the rival machine smashing it to pieces. He the showed that he couldn’t break the Dyson. He explained that the plastic he used cost 3 x as much per tonne as the one used in the rival brand

    Oh and one of my favourite Conspiracy theories is for the Fitst Gulf War. America had a massive stock of cruise missiles worth a million each. But they were due to be retired at the end of their design shelf life. By firing them at Iraq that got Saudi Arabia to buy them a full set of new ones thus avoiding the replacement costs
