It seems like dyson focuses on over optimizing for problems that they themselves create.
- jandrese 6y agoI think they see themselves as reinventing solutions to problems that had solutions created 50-100 years ago but that the manufacturers are still using basically the same 100 year old solution today. So you have products that are marginally better (because those people 100 years ago were smart too and they have not been completely sitting on their laurels) because it uses modern technology and design informed by modern aerodynamics and the like, but is expensive because it doesn't have 100 years of cost optimization behind it. Worse, you have products that have 6 months of heavy cost optimization resulting in high precision high power motors mounted in flimsy plastic cases that break the first time you drop them.
