Interesting one this.......

Early April Fools' joke or real?

 

[freemansteve]

Obviously a joke!
Like most of their products!

 

[yossarian]

Someone released the info two days early ;-)

 

[Sparky]

Still brilliant though.....great joke!

I'm not sure.
We are using one of Dyson's vaccum cleaners 16 years now.
I have replaced motor once and some accessories, all bought original from Dyson website. In fact, they are still support 20 years old products. Can't say that about my loudspeaker manufacturer.

 

[freemansteve]

lucky!
Usually the plastic bits break, and spares are priced so that it's cheaper to buy new.
Look in any Tidy Tip in the the UK - they are packed with Dysons!

I'll stick with my Miele!

What speaker problems do you have that would need support?

I reckon the $75 Kmart is super value for the money.

Not that I need support for my speakers, but if I would need it they wouldn't provide it.

We have Miele washing machine. Very reliable.

When "listen to clean music" is taken literally

'What Fluff' are miffed that 'What Fi' will 'Linn it' first.
Be prepared for "Throw away your top end phones".

 

[whazzup]

It will definitely sound more airy now....

 

[freemansteve]

Yes! What-HiFi have probably already fired up their Automated Adjective Algorithm (TM) but then realized nobody was buying them lunch!

That zombie guy in the Dyson video reminds me of the criminal who ends up in the toxic waste in the original Robocop movie.

If this pandemic is still rolling on late this year, when it is due out, I will happily buy one. perhaps several.

At least with Dyson (afaik) there isn't a Hamish drinking himself to death after losing a court case (chronologically incorrect only) in which he claimed someone in a Glasgow machine shop (machining his TT bearing) stole the design.
Then again, the Condek did have the on/off switch in a different place. That's probably where Son-nics came from?
Years on, fortunes made, and the Wot HiFi connection still intrigues; on a slow karma day.

Not joking, that thing would sell like crazy if they just called up the folks at Hypebeast for a pre-release exclusive. People would buy it on aesthetics alone.

Without a doubt!! They do look pretty cool if I'm honest....

Dyson supported Brexit. Says it all.

As someone who used to ride the subway on a daily basis, wearing headphones all the while and remembering the odors that I encountered....well, I guess I don't think it's a stupid idea.
