So many people herald the Dyson vacuums for their supposedly beautiful design. I think they’re ugly. They look so awkward and clunky. Perhaps people think they look cool for the Dyson’s attempt at looking industrial. These machines miss that mark. They look more cartoonish than industrial.
These vacuum cleaners look like the Transformers in the Michael Bay movies.
I never understood why the look of a vacuum is so important. You store it in a closet when it is not used. I have a vacuum cleaner I bought at a discount store 10 years ago and it does the job. It is not stylish but it picks-up the dirt. If you pay this much for a vacuum, you almost want to put it in the center of the room as a decoration. Most thoughts to this comment would be that is ridiculous; the reply would be so why care what it looks like?
You bring up an intereseting point, Ned. What if people did put their vacuum cleaners on display? That would be interesting if a vacuum cleaner was built to be part of a shelf, you just pop it out and zoom zoom, pick up that dirt. And then you pop it back into the shelf.
I have to argue your point, Ned. When the vacuum is in use, I have to experience its design. So the design is still important. I vacuum every other week (though usually every three weeks) and it’s a 3 hour ordeal. I wouldn’t want to have to be staring at an ugly Dyson vac that whole time. I’d puke.
spud, I believe there is a vacuum that’s shaped like a cone that’s intended to be displayed.
Just googled “vacuum cone” and found it.
Dirt Devil M0213CHR Kone Cordless Hand Vacuum
Moose, what if you vacuumed with something that looked like a board from a shelf? That would be cool.
And that Dirt Devil M0213CHR Kone Cordless Hand Vacuum is totally what they would use on the Death Star. Official vacuum of the Death Star.
I was just ogling these at Target the other day. My fiance really wants us to register for one, to combat my cat’s shedding-ness (there’s a pet-hair specific one). Heck, if someone else buys one for us, I’ll take it! I don’t care what it looks like, as long as it works. Function over form……..
I never had a better vacuum cleaner and I love the design. And I do not even work for this company!
