Reply #26: The fan has been a marketing flop overall. As was his washing machine.

The problem with both products is easily explained. They're both very expensive, and offer either very little or NO real advantages in exchange for the extra money. The bladeless fan is a novelty, but it honestly just moves air, the same thing that any $10 Target fan can do. Sure, it doesn't "chop" the air, but it replaces the chopping with an annoying hissing in quiet rooms.

The washing machine is the same thing. Most third party reviewers have rated it as being no better than machines costing half as much, and Dyson has lowered itself to SUING those reviewers to try and suppress that fact. It's not a bad washer, it's just not any better than any other average washer.

The Dyson Vacuum is worth the money because it delivers high quality, reliable carpet cleaning consistently over a long period of time. The Ball models are very easy to use, and the entire machine is a large upgrade when compared to other cleaners that are on the market. With it, you get what you pay for.
