The DA001 was the first Dyson I ever saw, belonging to my Aunt and Uncle. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time and tried to persuade my Mum and Dad to by one. Thank God they didn't, as just a few years later when I got to use one properly, I realised just how crap they were.
It saddens my greatly that there are people in the world who consider Dysons to be their childhood vacuum - I remember the days before Dyson existed. There were some seriously cool vacs around when I was a kid, and a huge mass of different makes and models. I really feel for anyone growing up in the bagless generation, the market seems so boring these days.
