I've been known to make fun of vacuum manufacturers who choose to be innovative lazy.... and there's plenty of them. |

Hey Carmine,
Airblade himself can talk of the Airblade product much better than I, so maybe he will join the “Is James Dyson and his inventors relevant - debate” in regards to the Airblade product and it’s inventions and benefits.
Smoke or “to smoke the competition” (as I know it) is a racing term to describe how badly the competition is trounced.

Hello M00seUK: Besides winning the award of one of the top ten innovative products of the year, the Web Site gives current users of the XLerator. THo made in the USA for the last 40 years, can you spot the conspicious unlikely user[s] that got my attention? | who's using the XLERATOR... | | | | Disney World | Hynes Convention Center | Westminster Abbey | Kodak | | | | WALMART | Pizzeria Uno's | Wembley Stadium | Hudson Bay | | | | UPS | Con-Agra | Basketball Hall of Fame | Boston University | | | | and many more! |
Carmine D. Carmine, I support American manufacturing big time and so I support this manufacturer! Certainly this hand dryer looks to be economical for businesses to purchase and/or maintain, but it in no way touts proprietary innovations that other competing manufacturers must have. Certainly it wins “Innovation” awards for saving electricity and being “first to market”. In terms of [utility] patentable inventions and features the Dyson Airblade flat-out smokes this machine. DIB

Hi DIB: I know the concept is fairly simple for me to grasp. I can't speak for others. I ask questions of these persons and companies [not throwing rocks as you call it] that buck the tide. Like this one: "When all the global economies of the world are at their worse levels in over 70 years, and all the largest and oldest companies in business are reducing costs/cutting employees to steer the ship and stay afloat, how does dyson, which makes functional household products and sells at luxury prices, increase new hires by 18 percent?" You're absolutely right. Somebody here doesn't grasp the concept. Who do you think it is? James and dyson and/or all the rest of the people, countries, and the companies around the world? ORECK and BISSELL are two of the oldest companies in the industry. Some may say BISSELL, with its carpet sweepers, started the vacuum industry. And certainly ORECK with 45 years of cornering the market on lightweight uprights has earned a well deserved reputation for success in this industry. Far be it for me to throw rocks at them. I'll leave that for others, who don't grasp this concept, if they are so inclined. Carmine D. Hello, Because many can and do run smooth, respectable operations daily, I find substituting Oreck's reputation for innovation a poor excuse. Oreck needs to quit whining of Dyson and out-innovate him and advertise that and not the blathering Dyson whining which Oreck dedicates much advertising/marketing to. Dyson runs a smooth, respectable operation also (despite what his enemies say) and brings to market new innovations vice Oreck, who sells tired product (vacuums) or tired product with lipstick - i.e. the XL Platinum. To speculate of new hires and/or manufacturing expansion or tooling... it is obvious Mr. Dyson wants to reintroduce or introduce for the first time a new washing machine and certainly a dryer (for those countries who use dryers). Perhaps this is what he is doing, I hope so. I have no opinion of timing, yet certainly if a washer and dryer can be innovated radically better (made more economical to run/green) perhaps now or in the near future will be a good time gear up and launch such products.

Hello DIB: I won't debate opinions with you. You're entitled to put James on a pedestal. But you must remember, the higher you put him, the harder his fall. Here is an excerpt from the article that M00se posted from the UK Telegraph. It's my source for the 500 new hires. "The company’s highest-paid director, believed to be Mr Dyson, took a 60pc pay cut to £12.6m in 2007 while staff numbers grew by 18pc to 2,203. " Carmine D. Hey Carmine, The concept is pretty simple to understand... the world craves innovations that make life better. Dyson is the kind of fella that delivers such innovations, certainly not all his ideas are winners and he is in good company... many prolific inventors of past believed in stinkers too. I do put innovation in a place of prominence (pedestal if you prefer) and not humans. I do applaud and laugh when Dyson walks into a 100 year old industry and turns it upside down do the NIH/"Not Invented Here" beliefs of vacuum manufacturing Suits. Like I said in the past the "NIH Suits" give license for Dyson to print money even if it is a paltry $25m annually or as high as $124m annually. What do you think David Oreck or Mark Bissell profit off their namesakes? Certainly nothing like what Dyson does. Between Oreck and Bissell there's 200 years of vacuum manufacturing, certainly and in the spirit of fairness it's time for you to throw rocks at these guys too. - Start with Oreck, since he is the biggest American vacuum manufacturer-whiner of Dyson.

Hello DIB: If dyson follows the same pattern in 2008, and reports its financial results almost one year late, I suspect it just may be too little and too late. How does a company with 1700 employees add over 500 more new hires on the wake of what all experts call the worse global economic downturn in over 70 years? What is James thinking? Is he thinking? Carmine D. Carmine, So much concern for Mr. Dyson? Is Dyson the only corporation affected by the world's economies? I applaud the man! He keeps doing and keeps putting faith in what has worked for him and the civilized worlds past too... he keeps inventing! Yes he will have a harder time with all the knockoffs including Miele's and others entering James' category -- steerable's. I have not read of Dyson doing any hiring, in fact just the opposite, I've read he might let go of some 69 jobs in Malmesbury which made a stink in some of the British press. Carmen you must remember that competing manufacturers are nothing without Dyson inventing first and showing these competing manufacturing numbskulls the way to more profits via innovation. :-) DIB
