Never thought I would get so excited about a vacuum cleaner but I have just been nipping around the house with our new Dyson DC-22 (aka the Dyson Baby) and I must say it makes vacuuming a pleasure.
Here is a machine that functions as beautifully as it looks. Quoting the booklet that came with the product:
“To Dyson, ‘design’ means how something works, not how it looks — the design should evolve from the function. That’s why the people at Dyson who design products are called ‘engineers’.”
I guess the novelty will wear out soon though, however, and it won’t be too long before my wife and I are arguing over who’s turn it is to do the vacuuming..!
WIFE UPDATE: “Since when did you ever offer to do the vacuuming anyway Iain…!?”
Well, this had to happen because while the Dyson DC21 Motorhead is enormously powerful, it is also enormously heavy. Just plain enormous.
