It's a good hairdryer, and cheaper at costco.

And I know people who have sprung for those detect laser vacuums and they all seem to love them.

Needs special toothpaste and rinse, both of which Dyson will conveniently sell you. Don’t know if it’s actually good or not, but it seems everyone wants in on the subscription model.

The 10m interview (video) embedded on the article was a great watch (no toothbrush mentioned).

I found it educational on product development (as a new startup founder/product developer myself).

But, he failed to sell us their electric car, which honestly looked great.

After buying one of the first bag-less vacuums (animal ball?) I am staying away from anything that man touches. Interesting technology (at least the vacuum, hair dryer less so), but anti-ergonomic and plastic crap that breaks easily.
