Dyson makes 5,127 prototypes
In fact over a period of five years Dyson made 5,127 prototypes of his vacuum, including this early version pictured, made from cardboard. His former employer Rotork funded the first production of the Rotork Cyclon 1000A. Dyson initially licensed it to an American appliance company, but it proved too expensive for the mass market, retailing at around $1,300. A revised version, however, did have some success in Japan.

Manufactured goods in the United Kingdom when he kicked his business off. Soon moved his manufacturing business to Asia to save money by paying slave wages to downtrodden Asians. That ethos tells you all about the man. GREEDY and not a Patriotic guy. I wouldn’t buy a rubber band from this A———hole

We've tried Dysons et al and we still go back to the Rowenta Compact Wet and Dry, bought new in 1984. Bags are still widely available, long hose and fittings still good although I had to repair the plastic carry handle. Stairs are done, lower half from below and upper half from above.... simples! Dyson himself would have still made more money than he could spend in his lifetime if he had kept manufacturing in the UK, and the dumped loyal staff would have successful careers.... enjoy your knighthood, surrrr.
