Bullshit units of measure

Other manufacturers specify suction power simply in Watts. Air Watts is just fancy name for same measure - to give option for Dyson sales to convince that it is not :D

There is power in the wind...

For wind turbine use, the equation is,   Power (W) = 0.6 x Cp x N x A x V^3

Related I'm sure.

Yeah, that's a pretty common marketing practice.
Invent a difference that doesn't exist, then use the difference to show how amazing your product is verses your competitors products.
Usually done by companies when
- There's no true benefits over the competitors products
- When all the benefits that do exist over the competitors products are things no one cares about.
- When investors want maximum returns at all costs and don't care what a company does as long as they can keep getting away with it.

Just FYI Dyson did not invent air watts, and it is a proper unit of measure per ASTM https://tajhizkala.ir/doc/ASTM/ASTM%20F558__13.pdf. If some manufacturers drop "air" in the wording, it's not Dyson's fault. I rather think that two power ratings both labelled in watts cause more confusion to consumer.
