Bullshit units of measure

But by many measures the products objectively are the best. Same with Apple too, perfect? No, but better than most of what else is out there. I don't care about the marketing, I like my iPhone and I like my Dyson. Neither was particularly expensive, and both have been absolute bargains for the amount of use I've gotten out of them. I'm no fan of the rabid fanboys but I can't stand the rabid haters either, most of which have never even owned one of the products.

Then other industries started using the same tech because it was much better. Like power tools.
But Dyson made a big deal about saying they invented brand-new never before seen digital motor technology, when all they did was change their design to use the new brushless motor tech that already existed.

Dunno if they invented it or not but their "Diginal" motors are nothing like BLDC used in RC or power tools. No neodymium magnets inside. There is a magnet though but it isn't strong.

I was replying to Ed.K who often likes a bit of a joke. It was you that took it seriously enough to 'correct' me and then off we go again. Just lean back, have a cool drink and try not to be so pedantic.

I'm just not sure why anyone would spend that much money on a device, that was obsoleted by the robot vacuum cleaners. It's like having the best and most efficient manual washing machine.

No you weren’t, you were responding to me. Your reply followed my reply directly, so unless you use the quote function to quote what you’re replying to, then it is understood that you are referring to what comes immediately before.
P.S. I don’t think pedantic means what you think it means…
