Eh, Dyson's are OK but mostly marketing. If you want a real vacuum, get a Miele. If you're going to trust a people with keeping things clean, would you trust English or Germans?
I thought so.
Also, if you've never seen these and are baffled, they are called Air Multipliers, and actually shoot air through a little vent built into the whole ring, so the inner space is only used to draw in air from behind it, and has no actual need for blades to produce wind.
Also it's speed is determined by a little rotating knob that has no actual "Clicks" on it, so you have very fine control over the speed.
Basically it's a stupidly expensive fan that doesn't really do much that you couldn't get for a lot less money, but it's cool as fuck and it was a birthday gift from my Mom so I'm cool with it.
What happens if you throw a paper plane through it?

It turns into a dove.
I know that sounds weird but it's scientifically justified in the manual.

Ha ha ha, you probably own a lot of BOSE products, don't you?
Every review I've seen of those fans is "weak as shit it's just a tiny fan in the base that blows up and out of the ring get a real fan"
The thing is, because of the venturi effect, you only need a little fan to blow a small amount of air out of the slot that is in the periphery of the big ring, and that does this thing where it creates a low-pressure area inside the ring, which pulls more air into it, which pulls more air into it ad infinitum until other forces come into play, like friction.

They make some nice, middle of the road products that they overcharge like crazy for. They're Sony, but they think they're Bang and Olufson. Much like Miele.

Composer, computer scientist and futurist Tod Machover has joined the power of technology with one of the great classical art forms. In "Death and the Powers," opera robots take the stage to sing about the search for immortality and how our humanity is transformed by tech. Jeffrey Brown reports on the preparations taking place at the MIT Media Lab for an upcoming interactive performance.
To be fair, "in "Death and the Powers," opera robots take the stage to sing about the search for immortality and how our humanity is transformed by tech" could easily be in reference to a metal album. In fact, it sounds like the sort of metal I rather enjoy. Also the sort of opera I rather enjoy. Hey futureself, watch that youtube up there and let me know if we like it.

I've yet to see anything better than Miele, especially if you have highly allergic people in your house. Every Q&A I've seen with vacuum salesman/repairers and other puts Miele in the top 2 (at least their canisters, their uprights apparently aren't that great). It's not a Bose situation, as I had never heard of Miele before I started researching good vacuums for my allergy-suffering spouse.
If you aren't particularly sensitive to environmental factors, there's probably a host of things that are "good enough", but we saw a serious quality of life improvement from getting the vac, and it's powerful enough that things that used to be dust->vacuum are now vac only.
PS - Bose, No highs, No Lows.

There are allergy models of most popular brands with HEPA+ filters and such in them. When you get right down to the brass tacks though, of construction materials, motor mounting and bearings, impeller efficiency and bearing setup, and design and function of the tools and accessories, Miele aren't really any different from an Electrolux or LG bag cleaner.

True, but they have slightly better filtering (better sealed design) and cost the same as electrolux's here.

Apparently I had one too many drinks and posted this in the wrong thread. TAKE TWO:
Science tangent: I used to do a lot of work with filters, separators, etc., some years ago and one of the things that people advertising HEPA (outside the industrial/government world) won't typically tell you is that there's no time-based performance requirement on a HEPA filter. That is, you can build a filter that meets particle size requirements and airflow at a pressure drop... that lasts all of a minute at those performance levels. Cheap products advertising a HEPA filter feature are usually using incredibly undersized filters and/or pre-filtration schemes. You'll get your great and efficient filtration for a couplefew uses and then the filter is clogged and you start getting either crappy performance (very reduced airflow) or filtration bypass (a lot of air going by the filter by designed media damage or through alternate passages).
TLDR: "HEPA" mostly doesn't mean crap on consumer products. Quality design is still king.
I can't see comments on the mobile page and now I'm curious. Young earthers?

My surgeon in Tuluá in Colombia suggested that we originally arrived here as few survivors from both places following all-out war Moon-Mars. But we don't really know, do we ? In youtube there are many videos indicating former civilizations on the Moon and Mars. You can't show a movie on Charles Darwin in the USA, only in Canada. In the USA Charles Darwin is the Antichrist ! You know, half of the Americans believe God made us from earth 6,000 years ago!

This is no mystery to any one who understands the Bible. Those of you in Britain, Jesus walked in Glastonbury. Do you knot know your own history? The throne of David is in London. Your Royal family is the House of David.To be ignorant is one thing, but to stay that way is another. Anyone who wants to know the truth I will tell you where to find it, if you ask.

"We know with absolute certainty the very day that our Lord created the Earth; Sunday, 23 October 4004 BC."
Even though this date is never mentioned in the bible, this is the absolute truth! The universe was created at 23 October 4004 BC 12.32 pm (God had a lie in).
Those who say the universe was created 13.7bn years ago are Satanists.

Just the latest pathetic blasphemous nonsense from desperate and deluded Darwinians.
We know with absolute certainty the very day that our Lord created the Earth; Sunday, 23 October 4004 BC.
These blashemers are either simply lying again or God put these footprints there to test our faith.
And many here have been found wanting.
You need to find the truth in Jesus and abandon all of these lies of Satan or you will never find true happiness and will burn in Hell.

No.
There shall be a cleansing fire, and then nothing.
No, they work on the Bernoulli principle and venturi effect, just like a carburettor.
Also, the Hughes 530MD NOTAR prototype:
Ha ha ha, you probably own a lot of BOSE products, don't you?
So...bullshit witchcraft?
You want a real kick? You go Bernoulli.
