My take on the Dyson Submarine

I hate those damn things. They are like using a tea towel to mop a whole floor, just add on some extra cost and unreliability.

I really don’t get the trend, people are now too lazy to mop a floor! Riccar has also released their Chinese import copy of this. A quality microfiber mop does the job for me! A machine might be better for tile or slate floors, such as the Lindwash. Not to mention that you have to hold the heavy Dyson in your hand the entire time. I guess they got these “mopping machines” from the ones used in large commercial buildings.

This thing strikes me as a "buy me because I am a Dyson" versus something with real merit. (ie Dyson is betting that their public image alone will sell this product, "hey its a Dyson so its gotta be the best!")

I agree! Both Shark and Dyson are doing this, they have both expanded far past badly designed vacuums. Both companies now sell: Fans, hairdryers, other hair devices, air purifiers, and who knows what will be next! I forgot to mention that Dyson is also an audio company too, with their new headphones. I guarantee people will buy the Dyson headphones over the Bose, because “my Dyson vacuum is the best.” A hairdresser told me that the Dyson hairdryer cannot compete with the cheaper professional hairdryers used in the salons. Perhaps Dyson will start producing small kitchen appliances as well!
