It's interesting to have someone comment on the history of Dyson a little. For me, when shopping for a vacuum, Dyson looks like the Bose of the vacuum world: it works pretty well but is way over-hyped and certainly over-priced. But, I forget/am too young to appreciate that before Bose/Dyson got their bad rap today they were market leaders. Gotta keep that perspective sometimes.
- oneJob 11y agoI have a 7 year old Bose radio that still sounds friggin amazing and looks better than me most days. Worth every penny.
- grimgrin 11y agoI think the "bad rep" might be (in my own part of the world) that they are overpriced for the quality. The quality is good, that is true with the Bose system in my 2001 Maxima, but it is probably not a bang for buck equivalent of its.. off brand equivalent.
- bhandziuk 11y agoThat's what I was trying to get at. My experience too has been that they are fine enough systems but they cost to much and I have little patience for their advertising. I bought an amp and speakers almost a decade ago now which were not Bose and they are also going strong. Except this system was a fraction of what I could have paid for a Bose. I get it too, that when buying a Bose it's like buying a Mac: you just have to shell out the money and all the though of making a computer is abstracted from you. It can be cheaper if you piece a PC together yourself but not everyone has time or patience for that. Paying for Bose is paying for something that 'just works'.
