Hi,
I agree I think Dysons are hugely over rated, my wife had one and when it broke we got a much cheaper option which worked well, my wife went all over the house it picked up well and cleaned, but when it started getting blocked up she started saying she wanted another dyson, she was trying to pick up tissues and I even found pens blocking the nozzle of the cheaper machine, eventually using it while blocked the motor blew, so she's now got another dyson, over double what the other one costs and I don't think it picks up or cleans as well.
I used to work for Audi locally to the Dyson family and we sold them cars, they have made so much money from the over hyped up machines they sell to the public that they can (and have) walk into the show room and select multiple cars without thinking twice, we have the R8 GT Spider in on a tour of the UK before it was luanched and Dyson junior came to look, walked up to it and said "yep I'll have one" Mrs Dyson had a Q7 but it had to be different, so they paid 3-4k over book price to have it pimped by ABT Audi's recognised tuning company, she had it for 12 months before putting petrol in the diesel engine and pretty much melted the pistons, they left it behind for a low trade in amount and took a new onw. I hated how they were treated like royalty for managing to extract money from peoples pockets just through the hype!!
Sorry to join your rant by the way
