Cordless vacuum cleaners.

Recommended Posts

I bought a Vax pet one - it was ok for a week -then it went back to Tescos for a full refund.

 

(We have two mains Dysons currently and although they're okay i'd swap both of them for a Vorwerk tomorrow,if obtaining parts wasn't so complicated.)

 

But they are good for convenient quickies before the wife gets home.

So is the Dyson V10, if you really want to compares apples with apples.

 

OK so maybe not the V6, I'll concede that. But you're reaching with V10. It's over 150 quid more than I paid for my Shark. The V7 would be the current market equivalent

Dyson have a factory in Wiltshire but their main production facilities are in Malaysia and Singapore.

 

All Dyson machines are foreign made. Dyson sacked all his UK factory workers years ago.

 

Their is a big tax advantage if you have research facilities in the UK

We've got a Gtech ram, standup and handheld. Both do a good job, and have plenty of power, unless you do it 8hrs/day - which I certainly don't.

Its more a matter of the UK has a larger and more educated population, the right type of workers for high-tech; whereas Malaysia has cheap labour to work in Dysons factories.

Dyson is now a foreign manufacturing company with a convenient UK HQ.

Singapore has a far better educated population than the UK.

Most of the staff at Malmesbury are administators.

More engineers and technicians are employed in Malaysia and Singapore than in the UK.

Hullavington, Wiltshire, is where their new(2017) high tech site is.

What are you talking about? Numbers are not everything. The top 450 engineers are based at D9, the main research facility in Wiltshire. Only their best are located here. It is here where Dyson’s future will be decided. This very much so makes it a British company. You obviously know very little on the matter.

Numbers are everything:

 

0 -the number of cordless vacuum cleaners manufactured in the UK by Dyson.

0 -the number of anything manufactured in the UK by Dyson.

1000s - the number of British workers Dyson sacked.

Dyson are massive now, but they moved over 15 years ago, less than 100 were made redundant.

We have low unemployment, so its not a problem.

Thousands of blue collar workers being paid £20k or the best engineers being paid vastly larger sums. You obviously can’t stand the intellectual elite but that is the field we should be playing on. We can’t beat the developing nations on cheap manufacturing labour costs. We shouldn’t even try. We should be up skilling our workforce to high end manufacturing. That is where we can survive. If you can’t see that, then that is your problem. Your pointless bleating is otherwise just pure ill informed rhetoric that can’t be taken seriously.
