In recent years, Dyson has eaten into market leader Hoover’s share. The main reason for this is that Dyson came into the market on the initiative of its inventor, who actually offered the innovative vacuum cleaner to Hoover.
In fact, he approached all the major manufacturers, and everyone of them turned him down. This could rank as one of the most short-sighted decisions in the history of the vacuum cleaner industry. In fact, a Hoover spokesman once admitted the folly of not accepting Dyson’s product. Had Hoover consented, he said, they wouldn’t have had to face the competition they now do, as the new technology was likely to have then decayed, on a shelf.
That’s when Dyson decided to manufacture and market his product on his own. It took him about five years to get a patent, but there was no looking back after that.
So, how does Dyson’s cleaner do what traditional vacuum cleaners do not? These are the seven reasons I rate Dyson as a cleaner worth buying, over traditional vacuum cleaners:
1. No Clogging:
There’s no clogging of the bag, in a Dyson cleaner, because there is no bag. The bag present on traditional cleaners was dispensed with, after it was found that clogging of the bag reduced suction.
2. Advantage of being bag-less:
The cleaner does not have a bag. That means there’s no bag to empty, from time to time.
3. Good Airflow:
High Velocity Airflow technology insures good airflow and better cleaning, in a Dyson.
4. Quality Filter:
The HEPA filter used on a Dyson cleaner prevents clogging of the filter which traditional machines suffer.
5. Maneuverability:
Vacuum cleaners are no fun when you struggle to move them. The ball in the Dysoin’s vacuum head prevents this problem.
6. Build Quality:
These cleaners are rugged because the manufacturers use ABS and polycarbonate for the casing. (You will find this material in cars, and crash helmets.) Also, you will agree with me when I say that the upright design looks sleek and radical.
7. Innovation:
Above everything else, I credit Dyson for thinking innovatively, for thinking about the buyer, and not just about profits.
Though these cleaners are a bit heavy and some of them have high clearance making it hard to clean under furniture, I recommend Dyson Vaccum Cleaner as the pluses are more than the minuses.
