So many angry people here using any excuse they can to shit-talk this guy. It's almost like I'm on Reddit and someone has made the mistaking of expressing a shred of admiration for Elon Musk.

#42Maybe he should explain his Brexit position? As far as I know this man is not an expert in anything but shirking expensive gimmicky fans and being a huge hypocrite, why he should be considered a authority in design I don't know. I've ways wondered what clout James Dyson gets for being confused with Freeman Dyson, an actual genius.
> Maybe he should explain his Brexit position?
Do you also think Freeman Dyson should explain his position on climate change to your satisfaction?

#43Well, the worst product I own is one of his bagless vacuum cleaners. The crummy look and feel, the unbelievably loud and high-pitched whine and the accompanying tinnitus-inducing higher order acoustic harmonics, and just the overall plasticky shittiness of it after about an hour of dragging it around is simply vomit-inducing. My pet hate is the 100x added friction between the retractable bristles and my plush carpet.…
>My pet hate is the 100x added friction between the retractable bristles and my plush carpet. It's costing me extra in time and energy to push this thing around.
we had the same issue, there should be a slider on the front to turn down the vacuum power. We turn it to about 50% on the deep pile carpets

#45I find it repulsive that his first recommendation to “inventors” is to file for a patent. Really, the most valuable piece of advice you have is “make sure you secure legal protection in case other people rip you off”? By all means, that's probably a thing you have to think about at some point, but surely there is more important advice for creatives than “lawyer up”.
He speaks from experience.

Can hair curlers also straighten hair or is it a one way process?
I think hair curlers are cylindrical, while straighteners are flat. You can curl with a flat surface by heating up and then curling around the whole thing. But with a curler there's nothing flat to shape against!
I have googled it, a person on youtube claims to be able to straighten hair with a curler; some kind of magic I think - I am not willing to suffer the pain that watching the video would inflict on my youtube reccomendations to determine the exact form of magic or witchcraft involved.

Bill Gates is doing the same thing. It's annoying. https://agfundernews.com/gates-if-not-for-climate-then-why-i...
"Despite sustainable agricultural development being one of the key focus areas for his nonprofit Gates Foundation, the Microsoft co-founder claims that his farmland investments are not tied to climate. But while Gates might be solely focused on returns, one should not overlook farmland investing’s potential to drive sustainability on a massive scale." how is a non-profit able to make farmland investments at all? What…
1. His 501c3 gives back less than 1% back to the USA.
2. Personally, I feel like most nonprofits are shady, especially the rich boy tax dodging ones.
3. I have paid a tax on every pc I bought over the years because of him.
Will never understand his fans.

It's hit or miss. For a plug-in vacuum, there are others I would choose first. But for a cordless stick vacuum, nobody else is comparable.
I find their stick vacuums are complete junk. I'll never buy a Dyson again. They get clogged almost every time you use them (you gotta either jam a butter knife down the main intake or take apart the filter, both susceptible to blockage). The max button gets stuck in the on position, the battery only lasts a few months. I don't understand the appeal at all.
The max button is like the old turbo button for your computer.
Does anyone really use 'slow' mode?

I don't have a Dyson vacuum. But when I got new carpet the company I bought it from gave us a "How to care for your new carpet" brochure. And one of the first things was "do not use a Dyson".
I asked about it and they said that they can ruin your carpet. Too much suction, I think is what they said. It's been a few years.
