Hi HS:

I always do.  "Time will tell."  "Test of time."   Time is on the vacuum industry's side, not dysons.  Why?

Dyson's missteps and mistakes [like the false product claims which is the latest in a long string over the past 5 + years in the USA] are attributed directly to management's lack of knowledge and understanding of the vacuum industry and its history.  

Add to this lack of knowledge the extremely high prices of the dyson vacuum products; their mediocre performance at best; the lackluster dyson product support relying on partnerships with big box retailers like SEARS and BEST BUY rather than the vacuum industry experts; the increasingly better and less expensive bagless and bagged dyson competition [which dyson prophets said would all be eliminated after dyson arrived  ]; 500 overpaid and underworked dyson engineers; R&D dollars spent on all manner of dyson products diverting and scattering resources from its core business [vacuums] AND what do you get?  A mix of risky business ingredients.   As the song goes:  Something's got to give.
