Sadly, a decline in quality seems de rigueur among old brands these days.

But that's not what I meant. What I meant is I expect a vacuum cleaner to last more than 20 years. There are no Dyson vacuums that old.

Dyson's claim to fame seems to be "weird for the sake of weird".

I love their "air multiplier" fan, but it's $200usd and moves very little air. Probably a tenth of the $20 Vortex fan.
