Dyson Vacuums: They’ll Suck Up Your Fire
Dirt, hairballs, crumbs, small children: Dyson vacuums can triumph over pretty much anything. But there’s still that lingering question: what about flames? We all know that feeling when your living room rug spontaneously ignites in a blaze of hellfire right before company comes over. It’s the worst. But fret not — YouTube user Photonvids has your solution. [Photonvids via BuzzFeed]
This Is Where Dysons Are Born
Dyson makes some of the prettiest vacuums, hand dryers and air blower/suckers out there, so it should come as no surprise that the factory where they are born is as mesmerising as its products.
Mr Fix-It: Sir James Dyson On The Problems That Can’t Be Solved
Sir James Dyson is many things. He’s a genius, an inventor, designer and a quintessential British gentleman. He’s renowned for pushing the boundaries of innovation and fixing things that never needed repair to innovate some of the coolest appliances on the planet. He lives to fix problems the world can’t see, but what most people don’t think of is the fact that Sir James is still a human being, with problems even he can’t solve.
Dyson’s Newest Airblade Could Change The Way Architects Think
While James Dyson is the obvious face of the company he founded in 1993, he isn’t the only one tinkering away at high-powered blades or really sucky vacuums in Malmesbury, England. With over 700 some engineers under one roof, Dyson tasked Marcus Hartley with creating the new Airblade Tap about two and a half years ago.
Dyson’s New Airblade Tap Dries Your Hands At The Sink
OK, please, give this a chance before you close the tab — a hand dryer can be cool. The Dyson Airblade — that little wonderbox you stick your mitts inside to get a super-fast bathroom dry — just got a super upgrade.
Dyson Has Patented A Tap That Also Dries Your Hands
Public and workplace restrooms often have far fewer hand dryers than they have sinks to wash hands in, leaving people queuing for a dryer with dripping hands. OK, perhaps it’s not one of the world’s biggest problems. But it is annoying enough to be addressed by vacuum cleaner and Airblade hand dryer maker Dyson of Malmesbury, UK, in a US patent filing: it has invented a water tap that can also dry your hands.
Dyson Doubles Up On The Cyclones So Its Vacs Suck Twice As Hard
It’s not exactly the most revolutionary of improvements, but today Dyson announced two new compact vacuums that now feature two banks of its patented cyclones that promise vastly improved suction. And while the ‘just add more’ approach seems like it would be the easy route, it still took Dyson’s engineers three years and 1859 prototypes to perfect the new DC50.
This Hand Vac Is Your Only Hope To Defend A Couch From Cat Hair
Batteries are the Achilles heel of any portable gadget. It was NiCad that brought the downfall of Black & Decker’s much-loved DustBuster vacs. Now, the company’s new, updated Flex hand vacs have lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These should offer twice the runtime over an old DustBuster, even if the new “Flex” name is roughly half as cool.
