Why are Dysons so horrible?

Hey Chris....

I'm no "fan" of bagless machines, no matter what brand, but I think the Iona-Fantom company actually bought the rights to the cyclonic design from the Dyson company. Dyson did not rip off the concept from Fantom. Just to be fair to them.

I am actually more concerned about the fact that all the Dysons are made in Malaysia now - a country that is not very progressive when it comes to certain minorities.

If I recall corectly

And someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Fantom licensed the cyclonic patents from Dyson. Dyson didn't copy Fantom.

Fantom licensed the cyclonic patents from Dyson

that is true

i have a thunder and fury and find the build quality MUCH better than the dyson. i really like the look of the fury, very futuristic, much so than the dyson

the dyson looks like the inside of a vac, meaning the cover removed to show the workings

I agree with you, Joe. Fantom WAS a much better build quality than Dyson, as is the Amway Cleartrak. Of the Fantoms, I think I like the Thunder the best. It's amazing for a machine that's purportedly so "high tech" Mr. Dyson has yet to incorporate a headlight on any of his machines.

I stand corrected!!

Thanks for the info, I've always thought it was the other way around- either way the Dyson is still a piece of junk.

I am thankful to James Dyson because every Dyson that comes in the store is slapped with a nice $70 fee for service. Maybe it has just been one of those months where everyone's Dyson is broken, but I feel this is only the beginning of the repair trend. Dyson is heavily saturated now because of Wal-Mart (in SC Wal Marks). As long as people keep buying and repairing them, I'll just vent to you guys!
