About Dyson
James Dyson was not the first person in the world to be frustrated with vacuum cleaners, but he was the first to actually do something about it.
For 92 years everyone accepted that vacuum cleaners lost suction quickly, but James thought that was ridiculous - there had to be a better way.
“I was frustrated with my vacuum cleaner - it quickly clogged with dust, destroying the suction and leaving dirt behind. So I set about developing an entirely new type of vacuum cleaner to solve the problem. More than 5,000 prototypes later I had it - the first vacuum cleaner that doesn't clog and doesn't lose suction.”
