Dept. of Parties. Going to a product launch party is about the strangest thing imaginable.
You arrive at a beautifully done up space (in this case a huge inflated yellow bubble on 62nd Street), get met by bouncers and then charming caterers plying you with wine and small food, and then begin to check out the cool exhibit explaining how the hell the Dyson vacuum works (complicated), while everyone else stands around chatting and not paying any attention to the product.
Do all these press people know how it works?
My guess is not.
What they really want is to see the man, James Dyson.
Here is our unfiltered review:
- Dyson is a very smart inventor (and a liberal arts major!)
- Dyson is working the PR hard
- Dyson is a regular, soft spoken guy and this is not his forte, but he comes across as very charming
- Dyson is not corporate
- Dyson is cool
- Dyson vacuums never stop improving
- Dyson vacuums are simply better than anything else on the market (much like Gillette is to razors)
- Dyson vacuums are the no. 1 selling vacuum in Britain
- Dyson vacuums just passed Hoover in US sales
- Dyson will continue to do so
- The Ball is extremely cool
- The Ball is so stupid smart you want to slap your forehead and say, "Why didn't I think of that!"
- Dyson vacuums are rather expensive
- Dyson vacuums are rather big for New Yorkers (even the new canister)
- Dyson should do what Apple did and make a Mini with a mini price and just clobber the market
- Then we will buy one for our small apartment
- US vacuum companies are incredibly stupid
- We will all own a Dyson within 10 years and it's a good thing MGR

Miele is the Best. It will pick up anything. If you want something that will cut down on the allergens there is only one true answer. Miele is the only truly HEPA certified vacuum cleaner, because you can put a HEPA filter on any vacuum but most just leak before the dirt even makes the HEPA filter so you are really just redistributing particles in your house. Don't believe me, check this out:
Through a particulate analysis on YouTube, I show how well the Miele vacuum works and truly traps the dust. My findings prove that the Miele Vacuum is completely sealed and really is HEPA.
YouTube Miele Vacuum Video – As seen on ABC 7
You can see from this video that the Miele will trap all of the particles in a cloth like bag that self-seals on its way out and you are actually purifying the air in your house by vacuuming! The filtration is 99.95% effective at 0.3 microns which is amazing. Thanks to its HEPA filter and super intensive clean bags the vacuum is able to achieve this kind of filtration.
Also check-out my blog called Consumer Reporter - a vehicle to educate consumers about the vacuum and air purification market.
