In 1959, Volvo invented the three point seat belt and released the patent to it for free, realising it would save millions of lives.
In 2020 (Covid), James Dyson asked for a tax cut before he would even try to build a ventilator to save a life, then moved his business abroad to avoid tax. He didn't deliver a single ventilator.
Don’t buy a Dyson.
It's only one couple's experience, but we had a Dyson vacuum cleaner and the thing kept breaking down every three months. Fortunately, we'd bought an extended warranty and we got free parts. When the parts were no longer available, the insurer gave us a replacement machine, also made by #Dyson, which was much worse and couldn't actually clean our carpets.
We gave up on it and bought a #Henry. We couldn't be happier with it.
@CppGuy @MarkHoltom Good call. I bought a Henry because it's what I always see contract cleaners using. Apparently they're fairly repairable too, not that I've needed to.
Oh, and Dyson supported Brexit too. So he can get in the bin with Tim Martin.
Henrys are brilliant, and rarely go wrond.

My other issue with Dysons, is they are foookin heavy, I had wrist issues and trying to use one could break me for the day.
