$316 (today's exchange rate) plus import taxes, etc. There are enough crazy people running around loose that will probably make this a success.
A fixed column of air ten or twelve inches in diameter won't do much good when you have a room full of sweaty people...

You have to hand it to them
Dyson has great ideas, neat design, and outstanding marketing.
Would I buy one?
No.
Given my experiences with their vacuum cleaners and the 'service' they give you, my friends' washer in Sheffield which became a big, colorful plastic water toy in only two loads...
By next summer, the Chinese will have a knock off on the market at 1/3 the price and twice the quality. By Christmas 2010, they'll be deeply discounted and we'll pick them up at garage sales next year...for $20...

Eh?! That thing is ugly and costs as much as a portable air conditioner! Sure I wouldn't buy one|!
Dyson...Love them or hate them!!!
Hey Jack, you where right!!! well it is a fan of sorts!!! all those christmas stockings to be filled, I did think it would be the kitchen small apps, perhaps another launch nearer the hols!!!
Enjoy the Launch Party and make sure you get a "Freebie" lol, Cheers, Mike
p.s. with sarcasm and / or irony aside I`d settle for a fraction of his bank balance!!!

Well, actually I do like the design, but...
- This "multiplication" of air happens in every other fan too.
- I have never experienced annoying buffeting with conventional fans.
- If this compares with jet engines, what does it sound like?

This is a very negative thread I'm finding, So for a positive note I love Dysons. All of them. I've had great service, my dc07 vac works perfectly and always has and James Dyson is an inspiring person. There. That's made me feel better. lol

zodawash,
I think part of the problem you are seeing so many of us have with Dyson is based on the fact that they are so pretty, so very innovative...that we get really furious when they don't work right.
And, try to justify them as you might, there are too many reports from independent testing institutes, even in the UK, which back us up on it.
My mother's Dyson picks up cat and dog hair better than any vacuum I have ever seen. It was marketed expressly for that purpose and is the most expensive Dyson you can by in the US.
It has never, not once, not ever run for longer than 3 months without a part breaking or Dyson themselves recalling a major part of the vacuum because of safety or durability problems.
That is a fact. There's a reason for the negativity.
Of course, for me living in Europe, the fact that they let go of all their workers here in the EC to produce their stuff in third-world countries cheaper after cashing in on all sorts of EC benefits didn't help either.

I love their innovations, and kudos to James Dyson for them, but am not a fan of their products...
...give me a Miele with bags anytime...

If Dyson made watches ... he'd make Swatch !

My Dyson
My Dyson vacuum cleaner does everything that it was advertised to do, as long as it is disassembled twice a year and thoroughly cleaned. I would buy another one before I would get another Kenmore!

This is another thing that I don't understand what the big deal is,heavy overpriced and exceedingly awkward,why buy something as heavy as a kirby when you can get a kirbythat will outclean and outlast 3 Dysons,whatever he makes will probably be a monstrosity.

His designs are innovative, and I like his 2 drum FL washer that was launched in the UK, but his products are just too stickin expensive, and unreliable. Why spend $600 on a vacuum cleaner when you can spend $100 on a good shop vac. The suction issue I can live with.
To be fair,
nothing I have ever used comes close to the Dyson for removing cat and dog hair from a very hard to clean nylon carpet quickly.
It's just, when I look how well my 1950's Kirby works (and it cleans just as well, just takes one or two swipes more) and look at how often the Dyson breaks, chokes, breaks, has another recall, breaks, the 'once every 6 months' filter needs cleaning every week...
No, sorry. They have great ideas, but it is perfectly obvious that at some point in the production process, the vacuums are run through a specialist in turning shinola into, well, something else. Squeezing every drop of quality out and making them as cheaply built as possible. They are then sold at very high prices.
Dyson deserves a special place in the hearts of everyone who likes vacuums for his designs. If his quality matched his prices, we'd be speaking of them in the same breath as Miele and Vorwerk.
Not K-Mart Blue Light Specials.

none of their hair is being blown
Good observation there Pete! Gives the impression one has to stand directly in front of it to get the effect.
In contrast, my vintage Emerson on low speed can sit way across the room and still keep me cool.

I am with you Ron,
Mr. Dyson certainly deserves accolades for innovative ideas, but I am sorry I just would not pay such high prices for a vacuum cleaner, actually we just bought a new vacuum last week a really good working Hoover Aura barrel, admittedly it cost more than what I really wanted to spend($369.00.), at Godfreys,but it is a really well built unit with solid metal pipes and a very flexible hose and most importantly plenty of suction.
This unit also comes with a plug for an electric powerhead if I want to get one later on.
It is a bagged model which I preferred over bagless, I hated cleaning the filters on the Nilfisk all the time and it only lasted 18 months, however I am not too upset, it was a raffle prize I won.
