I don't think this is entirely fair. Separating the man from the brand, the products are pretty good. My dyson vacuum is excellent, even with a dog. My wife has the hairdryer which she loves.

He did advocate for Brexit and then move production offshore though. So take the rough with the smooth.

Agreed. I remember reading his autobiography back in 2005 or so, and thinking what a weird self-centred individual he was. I certainly don't agree with his politics.

However, I think there's no doubt that Dyson make great vacuum cleaners.

He's a bit strange, from my eyes anyway. He's done some great things for UK innovation and product design. Politics aside, we shouldn't detract from that.

But my wife can dry her hair in less than 20 minutes, and it's quiet. Well worth the money!
