Hetty Hoover here, slightly smaller and pink - oo-er - but £40 cheaper. Just as good.
Just wish I'd bought one years ago and saved myself a small fortune in vacuum cleaners.

Those who claim to "believe in Britain" are often falling over themselves trying to leave.
Sucks to be called out as a hypocrite.
45 0 ReplyHopefully this will Streisand Effect the issue that Dyson is, indeed a hypocritical arsehole.
See also how he milked UK taxpayer money to develop electric car batteries and then .... didn't.

14 0 ReplyThose Dyson hand dryers are terrible. They're so noisy they really hurt my ears. I don't know why people buy his stuff.
13 1 ReplyMarketing. Expensive over-engineered solutions to non-existent problems promoted as luxury.
Some of those hand driers turned out to be a health hazard, and a Henry is far better hoover.
16 0 ReplyPerhaps we should suggest Henry hand driers?

11 1 ReplyDyson built their reputation with the bagless vacuum cleaners. Which were amazing back in the day (because they were the only bagless ones).
And that wave of success carries them to this day.

5 0 ReplyWell I'm sure he'll be able to bandage his wounds with rolls of the cash he's exploited out of the people.
4 2 ReplyI don't think there are any cases of exploitation from Dyson. As much as I think he is a shithouse for what he did over Brexit, this claim has nothing to back it up AFAIK.
2 2 ReplyIf you're a billionaire you're exploiting people - It's literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploiting others.

In the wake of what he has done to his country, it can't be harmful enough to his "reputation".
