It's probably because the core demographic of RS is growing up

It's possibly the same reason why I somehow found myself reading all 5 pages.

I'm not much into vacuums like others here seem to be, but to me it seems like Dyson = the Apple of home appliances.

The one big problem is that it costs $2500 - which is why we haven't bought one yet, and we just go borrow it from them once in a while.
what??? i brought my canister water based filtration vacuum for $45! that thing was super ugly tho. (red blue black plastic)
but it works amazingly well and powerful.

Having to fill the vacuum with water everytime u use it is quite annoying tho...for example, sometime you just want to use it for 2 seconds to clear up some dust.

You guys do know it has a fan inside right? It's just hidden inside the base... it's what sucks the air in.

I saw this thing at Fry's down in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. The fan in the base is bloody loud.

Carleton had a fantastic program, and Ottawa is cheaper with more engineering jobs... if you're still looking for work.

So what he has done is find another way to market something really expensive to people with more money than brains. For that, he gets my props
Sorry, but i'll have to agree with him here. Dyson fan is just a gaget looking piece of art, but a 10 dollar fan from china gets the job done too. Also in asia, there are way more "quiet" blade-style fans out there. Dyson really did not improve.

For someone who grew up on the western world, they would've never seen fancy fans from asia (japan, hk, taiwan), therefore this dyson product is truely a winner in its marketing strategy

Just take a look at the rice cookers or portable Air conditioning sold at london drugs/ home depot. Those things are so shitty compare to the ones you see in asian department stores
