DYSON Cyclone

“I mean, the Cyclones for my vacuum cleaner took over 5000 prototypes. That’s 5000 failures before I’d cracked it. So the moral of the tale is keep on failing. It works!” – James Dyson, talking about the process behind a successful design.

  We recently purchased a dyson… every time I’ve used it, I’ve had your impersonation of him going through my head as I vacuumed.

  There are some cool features to it, but its different enough from all the other “typical” vacuums I’ve owned that it required breaking out the instructions a couple times. I hate that, particularly with something as ubiquitous as a vacuum cleaner.
