James Dyson is definitely a man with many great ideas, and also a man who will put on efforts to work the ideas out, and most importantly, a man who comes out with a profound product in hand in the end. However, there is also a problem which I think is important about his product, and that is the pricing of his product.
My knowledge of the vacuum cleaner stays on the perspective of simple, durable, and eazy to use. It is just a tool with the bare minimum function of sucking up visible junks on the ground, and that is it. Problems such as navigation and memorzing where is clean, where has been cleaned are problems of my own. Dyson cleaner is out of this scale.
If one wonders the region has been vacuumed, or is the region clean enough, when using regular vacuum cleaner these are problems that rely on memories/experiences, but for the cleaner with laser decter on it, it is just a problem of switching on the laser mode and see what is on the ground.
Also, majority of the vacuum cleaners facing the problem of navigating. the angle of rotation for the head of the cleaner are often limited to a small degree, causing the users have to move around and find a better angle using the cleaner. From the video, Dyson is standing still infront of the small desk, and yet the cleaner has the capability of sucking up all the spaces underneth without a problem. This is also a very valuable trait.
But there is also the problem of the pricing. The vacuum cleaner comes with the price starting from $700, although I know that there is high value technology inside of this machine, the price is looking like a outlier in the market. The product could be beneficial when doing houseworks, and probably worth the price, but instead of paying 700 or even close to 1000 dollars on a cleaner, I think majority of the people would still perfer a $100 cleaner.
