I'm going to buy 2.
One for the boss, the other for Mum.
It isn't as if they just knocked it up on the back of a fag packet.
4 Years and 50 Million on R&D and British jobs... and taxes etc etc etc
50 million. To produce a glorified fan?One for the boss, the other for Mum.

bks.
R+D is tax deductable. Hell, there's even tax credits - so the motivation to call all spend R+D is clear.
IF the mill cost really is as low as 30 quid, then the margin contribution per unit is 210 quid. They really expecting to sell 1/2 a million of these?

Quite Apple-esque in design, and positioning. If it's as good as the reviews say, it'll fly off the shelves.
Dyson scores again. Well done for the recognition of the market segment; clever man / management team.
I just laughed at that .(not at you...just the comment ). as Apple took it's design cues from Dyson many years ago, and wasn't shy about saying so.Dyson scores again. Well done for the recognition of the market segment; clever man / management team.

.... They did make the first hand dryer that actually worked though.
No they didn't. Those things were in use in Japan at least 12yrs ago. I remember going into the facilities in a bar in Tokyo and being amazed...whoami said:
I wonder if it will be as appalling designed as their Airblade V?

Truly terrible. Especially if installed over a sink! OK if you're wearing darker trousers, but beyond that, expect supersonic splatter...

Why would anyone think this works?
Does my head in when Dyson bangs on about engineering prowess and his company's role in encouraging and indeed defining innovation
fk me, a collection of vacuum cleaners, hand dryers and now a hair dryer.
Innovation and stunning engineering was the Yanks saying in 1960 that they'd be walking on the moon within a decade. And then doing it.
