Gheen,
I think you will find that not the whole of the Dyson machine is made from ABS. They use Polypropylene for some of the parts. As I've already posted before, my DC24 has broken twice in exactly the same place and the handle just slips out of the body (this is supposed to be made of ABS!!)
The plastic tubes just look and feel nasty and tacky. It's a shame as I really used to like Dysons. When my DC24 fails, I won't be buying another Dyson.
I really dislike the plastic tube on the cylinder machines. They do not ooze quality like the older metal ones found on the DC02 and DC05's!!
Numatic International has its manufacturing in the UK. I do not believe that Dyson did it all over the government. They did what any sensible company would do. Make a product in a low cost country and charge twice the amount for the product!! Their air multiplier fans are example of ripping people off. They are noisy and way over priced. I managed to purchase a Chinese equivalent for only £35 in Dubai and it does the same thing. I would have been very depressed if I had paid £200 for it. Dyson have been producing machines in Malaysia since 2001. Before the major move in 2002, I recalled seeing a select few DC03s and DC05s saying 'Made In Malaysia' in around August 2001.
Dyson marketing has always been very spectacular. I also heard that the bladeless fan idea was thought out by an Japanese company (so maybe Dyson didn't invent this as with the handriers, I recall Mitsubishi have their Jet Towels on the market before Dyson brought out their Airblades.
Dyson certainly have had the right idea as they are doing so well now. I'm not a fan of Vax products but well done to TTI for creating a range of affordable products that cater for everyone.
