Comment on Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones

“I’ll be completely honest, quite often we work in an obsessive nature," says Jake. "We want this product. We want to make this thing. Sometimes before actually evaluating what the market response might be. And the market didn’t exist. So you’ve got to take those risks.”

So they did 0 market study, decided to build a gas station on the peak of a mountain and now marvel how nobody came.

Moron.

Ya. But also it’s nice seeing someone doing stuff just for the ‘fun’ of it.

I own zero Dyson products (way too overpriced to me), but I can respect the engineering behind their stuff (mostly).

  As a person that does electronic repair, let me just tell you what pieces of shit dysons are from a design standpoint.
  
  They are the most over engineered, Fancy pants pieces of shit that are designed to sell, not to use.
  
  Let me give you an example… One of the most popular posts on the Dyson YouTube page, is how to get the hose out of the machine. Yes that’s right, they needed a fucking video tutorial for one of the most common complaints, people can’t even use the goddamn things!
  
  And then when you want to repair them, you are looking at 2 hours of meticulously dismanting a giant block of unnecessarily complicated Lego to access one tiny piece.
  
  Dysons are absolute pieces of shit from every measurable perspective. With the exception of one thing: the motors do provide good suction, but they’re nothing special, no more suction than any standard motor. They overhyped the electronic switching of the DC motor to the point that people actually believed it! It’s a fucking standard DC motor!!! Essentialy.
  
  Compare a Dyson’s engineering with a simple device like a Bissell or a shark, which you can completely dismantle and reassemble in like 10 minutes.
  
  You can’t even replace a tiny hose piece on a Dyson without 2 hours, and many specialized tools.

    Well, I’m not surprised sadly.

    I’m not trying to have a big hate on for Dyson but
    
    They patented a new DC switching motor
    
    It had the potential to revolutionize so many industries
    
    Instead of licensing the tech out … They decided to make vacuums and hand dryers
    
    The company is run by imbeciles
