  " Is he the best qualified?  I don’t know.  What I do know is, he’s proof positive inventions can turn people into billionaire’s, create billion dollar corporations and all from humble beginnings – anyone’s carriage house, garage or backyard.

Becoming one is easy.  Staying one is hard.  Dyson's fortune has sunk lower and lower year over year.  Like many of the Forbes 400 richest in the USA, the bar has been lowered.  No longer ONE BILLION but $950,000,000. 

When you first started boasting of James dyson's fortune here as evidence of his inventor's prowess he was worth OVER $2 BILLION US [March 2007].  What is he worth today?

The model was featured already here in another thread.  The model is a rehash of a white ball DC15 that premiered during the dyson glory days of holiday season 2005.  It was a dud.  It was billed by the big box retailer as a seasonal item at an MSRP of $519.  It sold notta.  Over a year later the model was still in inventory and sold on clearance.  The store couldn't give them away. Why?  A $130 HOOVER FUSION plus dethroned it on the retailers' shelves. 

It would have been the perfect dyson ball collector's vacuum if packaged in a see thru carton, autographed by James with limited quantities and sequentially numbered.  Even then many potential buyers, including you as a card carrying James dyson enthusiast, wouldn't pay more than $300, if that much. 

It's not innovative invention.  It's slick colors, marketing/advertising which BTW your fave company has substantially reduced in recent months.  Even on this site, if you are paying attention.

Again, your lack of good judgment gets the best of you (you're slaving to Dyson-mud slinging again, I love it).  I am aware of the Blueprint thread, I’m making others aware of Dyson’s commitment and celebration of past inventors and their inventions.  The Blueprint page highlighted the contributions of other great inventors.

My post is relevant inside this [my] thread.  Don’t worry about it.

All the "fluff" is smoke and mirrors to cover up an overpriced, underwelming, all plastic, outsized produced, Malaysian made, mediocre performing upright at best.  It's all meaningless unless the product measures up with performance and sales.  BTW, has dyson ever corrected the faulty DC25 motor wiring harness that fails several months into the use?

Is there no end to how far they will follow Hoover?  Has Dyson caused as many fires or burns as Hoover?

Since you've got nothin, I though I'd post Miss IFA holding another Dyson problem solving-innovation and potential money maker - the mighty and unstoppable DC26.

As usual the pay toilet shuffle.  You didn't answer the question.  HOOVER WT $200-$250.  Defective Switch $2.00.  Fix 10 minutes.  Dyson ball 25 $499-$599.  Motor harness wire $2.00.  Fix 1-2 hours depending on technician skill and experience and 3-5 days repair wait IF THE PART IS IN.

BTW, there were 35 reported cases of switch failure in the H-WT.  How many in the ball?

Miss IFA is growing on me.  Smile did it!  But the vacuum is a dud.

"...overpriced, underwelming, all plastic..." You could well be referring to Orecks in the UK there too!
