Dyson Uses Mac Pros

Dyson uses old school propulsion. I like my roomba the best. Now that is innovation imo. 😀

We have a couple of dysons (DC43 and a DC45) but the one I'm looking forward to is the Dyson 360 Eye robot. It might give Roomba a run for its money.
 
I thought this was gonna be a thread about how somebody's 6,1 sucked coffee up right off the table… I remember, when the nMP was announced, a poster postulating that would be a problem.

PS: My wife loves her Dyson. Works pretty well for me too.
 
I always found their products to be a bit cr*p. I had a very expensive hoover from them that kept blocking up , the interior design was awful . Looked nice on the outside though. Ended up putting it in a skip. lol

A bit like a mac ( ok the macs nice inside too ! ) superficially ....

At least the vid shows macs aren't just glorified toys like all the pc fanboys love prattling on about.
 
I had a Dyson it looked the bizness just a shame it was utter crap , poorly designed airflow internally , not impressed , looked pretty though

Replaced it with a Miele , never looked back

I was spending $100 every year on a new vacuum because after a few months the suction would drop off severely and after a year most just stopped working.

Dyson was $500 but with a 5 year warrantee, so we figured we wouldn't be any worse off if it only lasted 5 years.

That was in 2007 and it works just as well today as it did that first day. YMMV, but I'll never buy anything else.

I have a Miracle Mate Platinum canister vac that my parents gave me when I first moved out. Powerful, all metal, and built like a tank. It's similar in design to their Compact vacuum that they've had since before I was born.

Unfortunately it's *incredibly* loud, and I think it's a little overkill for my small condo. I was looking around at alternatives a little while ago, specifically offerings from Miele and Rowenta, but was turned off by how plasticy and lightweight they felt compared to what I was used to.

There's something to be said for machinery from a certain era in their evolution. Consider Hayes SmartModems, and HP's original LaserJets. Metal frames and bodies, built like tanks and will likely outlive most of you guys.

^^^^Consumer Reports disagrees with you! I'm not currently in the market for a vacuum, but if I were, Hoover would still be my choice.

My mother used an Electrolux over 70 years ago, all metal. She bought it from a door to door salesman. Sort of gives you a clue as to how old I am.

BTW, I'm still using a Hoover Constellation, circa 1950s, for my car.

Every time I hear Constellation, I immediately think of this:
 
Consumer reports is notoriously biased, only accepting review and data from subscribers. Kind of a narrow base, and perhaps not applicable. You need to look at some of the more independent vacuum cleaner review sites and sales outlets to get a better idea of the current offerings and how well they fare in the real world. There are a few of them.
 
^^^^Not at all true. They buy products on the open market then run their own tests. They do get the longevity data from subscribers however.

Consumer Reports is often outdated. The test of this fact? Look for the highest-rated (whatever thingy) at your local store. They won't have it because it's last year's model. Just look for patterns and avoid poor craftsmanship and poor design. Warranties don't mean squat if the product is crapola.
 
Both are design-centric companies so it's not that surprising to see Dyson using a Mac Pro. It's a pretty good design but the value just isn't there any longer for outdated hardware.

It's also a bit sad if we're surprised and excited to see a Mac Pro actually being used for pro work in the wild.

The Dyson bladeless fans look very cool.
