Especially when I pointed out that Schengen will not allow a relaxation holiday home requirements for Spain and France. They’ll need to relax their residency rules to make it happen.
This does some to be getting more media-time than it deserves.
France does do a longer visitor visa but the homeowners are complaining as they have to go to a French embassy and apply for one (and prove you have money/health insurance),I think the change is to grant them to owners automatically.
The Spanish don’t have a longer visa so currently, so you’d probably want to go for a golden visa 🙂 or NLV which will want proof of health insurance/dosh.
I have a niggling suspicion that these people have a terrible fear of becoming tax residents.
I have more sympathy for people who are/were resident in the eu who lost their FOM tbh 🙂
What if it uses the same power but runs slightly faster?
It runs a lot faster, but uses less power for more suction. Dyson have been championing lower power motor for years.
You can hate the man but vacuum cleaners from all manufacturers are much, much better now than they were pre Dyson. They are also much more efficient and Dyson's (the company) innovation has been a big part of that
Tell me how my Miele vacuum cleaner has been improved by James Dyson? Other than convincing all of my family to switch from their previous failed Dysons to Miele, I’m not sure I’m seeing the logic.
I thought the court case was laughable. Perhaps being in Singapore has loosened his grip on the concepts of freedom of speech?
Different end of the market, but you knew that...
They do innovate but tbh remember the old zannusi ‘the appliance of science’ back in the day.
(That dr who video on the other thread- once heard never forgot)
I think their greatest innovation was making white goods sexy so people would pay serious money for them.

In what way?
Sssh, don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant from people who can’t separate the man from the product.
This.
The man is a dick, but having had 2 Dysons that have so far been fine over the last 22 years, I'm more than happy with the products.
Mind you, I love Lezyne pumps and their screw on adapters, so what do I know.
I’ve always wanted to teabag one. You know, research…
Report back your results,there may be an application for it in a different sector.
I can win the stupid Dyson product bingo. Mrs Duck was a rep for them; well; more a member of the religious cult, and we had a purple Dyson WASHING MACHINE.

And don't forget to patent it!
Both the man and product are marketing over function. In my extensive testing of vacuums in our household the hand held Shark made the equivalent Dyson look like Fisher Price. For raw suction the Nilfisk in garage eats everything from nails, sawdust, bricks to large quantities of water and pond sludge. Probably swallow a Henry whole.
I don’t know if his vacs are any good, but his urinals are terrible.
There's a bit of innovation with Dyson, but never been a fan of their actual performance or engineering, i live not far from his country mansion, and down the way from their head office, jobs are always on offer over the years, but they do sound a bit Tesla in their 'wanting the brightest and best' style wording and you should be lucky to work for them, which again, as an engineer, seems a bit of a push, you're making plastic tat, no the next generation of aircraft or the likes.
I once interviewed someone who worked there, the ethos seemed to be that you just did whatever Dyson wanted. They didn't get the job.
I have a niggling suspicion that these people have a terrible fear of becoming tax residents.
I don't think is that so much of the cost/hassle/jeopardy of non-renewal (which is sort of inevitable when dealing with a foreign country now), and also the significant cost of health insurance (because healthxare is expensive, esp the older you get).
I've had three Dyson vacuums in the past, all broke, but we're repairable with cheap parts off eBay and a screwdriver. But after the last required several repairs in one year we binned it. Also found they constantly jammed up with grit / larger dirt and were insanely heavy and cumbersome.
We now have had 2 small Henry (Hetty) Hoover's for 8 years with absolutely no issues, and 2 sharks for the last couple years (smaller jobs), again with zero issues.
I now look at Dyson the same way I do Apple and Tesla - over priced & over marketed tosh that only the brand obsessive buy.
As for the man, absolutely can't stand him.
Quite. I wish I’d bought one in the first place, instead of being sucked in.""
boom-tish....
