Yep I posted that but the report is now old.
This newer article from The Telegraph also fails to mention that Bosch have tested Dyson vacuums and found them to be below the claimed EU performance data that Dyson have released.
Im also at pains to point out that even if Dyson may well be the best selling brand in Germany, the Germans don't like touching dirt in any great capacity. They're a very hygienic nation. About the only time they're not is when they are buying up so many stick vacuums or hand held cordless things to do the jobs that they don't like doing (washing windows etc) and tons of brands cater for them, much of which we don't get to see in the UK.
A classic example of German ingenuinity and cordless cleaning is the Karcher Window washer machine - and look at the brands who are now copying and releasing similar.
Brands like Philips, Rowenta, Hoover, AEG etc - they're all producing so many cordless and corded stick vacuums for the German market, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Dyson's hand held vacuum (and associated pole with a motor head) is outselling all those brands.
The Germans go mad for new gadgets, especially compact solutions.
