Dyson is shit now though. Maybe it used to be good but like many other established names they are squandering their good name for more profits by cutting quality.

I think GP is right. We buy stuff online now. You can't see, touch, or evaluate anything. Reviews are all fake. Brand names are comingled with counterfeits. The only signal left is price. So knowing it's likely going to be crap, why pay more than you have to.
