Dyson products are always fairly expensive. I can accept a 400 pound vacuum, vacuums on the whole are fairly expensive for small appliances. For things like this though, where one can be had for a tiny, tiny fraction of the price I really can't understand.

Dyson vacuums here in the US aren't even the most expensive cleaners you can get, but they are good and have substantial advantages over some others. This is the same reason I won't buy one of their fans, too expensive for not enough tangible advantages (for me) over a substantially cheaper fan.

How much better can it actually be?

The usual Dyson sheep will follow with the "must have" attitude, In reality however it will be cheaply constructed have below average reliability and be heavily discounted making it impossible for retailers to maintain the RRP.

I just read in the paper that Dyson's profit is £448m on sales of £1.7b. 26% is quite a high bottom line for a manufacturer who spends so much on warranty claims and marketing. I wonder what those hairdryers cost in Malaysia to make? About £20 tops is my guess. Double it for shipping, import duty, VAT and distribution. That still leaves a very healthy profit on an easy-to-ship small item.

I bet they only have a two year guarantee like a fan.

The cordless version will be out within a year or so. By then, they will likely have ironed the early faults out. I bet the price will go up then too.

I reckon they will sell quite well, mainly to posh stuck up people who have to have the latest tech

Like this annoying yet attractive bird in this review

Of course, all the styling/fashion people/shows will buy them by the bucket load, so they will be deemed a success, then Argos/QVC will sell them on buy now pay later/monthly payments and the average chav will get their hands on them.

There's a YouTuber called "Zoella" who has over 10,00,000 subscribers and I'm waiting for her to buy one and review it lol, literally most people under the age of 25 know her and I'm sure she would do some sort of product placement maybe.

Companies always send her products for no reason too, she even got given a Bissell carpet cleaner once from the company!

Most YouTubers I know own Dyson products (like vacuums and fans) I see in the background of their vids all the time.

Got to be a scam of some kind. "Put the money in my bank and I'll post it out, honest mate...."

Either that or a house brick in a box.

But then gumtree, so you could knock on his door, show him the money but then request the box to be opened, then see

Of course you may be jumped on by 14 of his mates when you find out it's a scam, and it'll probably not be worth it
