Dear Mr. Dyson,
I LOVE your vacuum. I needed a new vacuum for quite some time, and your commercials had me intrigued. After getting fabulous feedback from some current Dyson owners, I decided to take the plunge and buy one for myself.
I was not disappointed- your vacuum practically sucks the carpet off of my floor. However, I was watching TV recently, when a commercial of yours came on. You said something to the effect of how you look at the problems in vacuums and find solutions. So I thought I’d point out just a couple minor problems you may want to address.
First, I know the entire suction in the vacuum rests on your cyclone technology. Fabulous really. Like 5 mini tornados inside my vacuum, circling around and sucking up debris.
Here’s the problem- my little boys.
Everyday my 2 littlest boys dump cereal on the ground. At first I thought it was just accidents, or them just acting their age, but then I started to notice something. Every time they’d dump the cereal, I’d vacuum it up, and then they would follow me around the room watching the vacuum in fascination. Over time I realized that they weren’t clumsy, they were actually throwing cereal on purpose so they could watch their little cheerios and kix swirling around in the vortex of air. CamCam gave them away- one day he let a little “look ma, cereal going round and round and round” slip.
Now I think this problem is easily solved, just stop with the see-thru container. No one wants to see all that junk anyways.
Second:
This little grey button unleashes the canister holding all the horrors that used to be on my floors. The phrase “A man must have invented that” comes to mind. (I don’t want any hate-mail coming my way. If your offended by what I said, send a bunch of men over to vacuum my house. haha) In case you weren’t aware, grown adults are buying your product. There really was no need to make the button so obvious. Hide it a little, tell us where it is. I promise, we’ll remember. As it stands now, your button is prominently out there. And guess who LOVES buttons?
Him
and him
I can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve chased one of them around my house as they run around carrying that canister laughing and laughing at me.
And once that canister is off, here’s what they see:
Red? Really? Was it really necessary to make the button that unleashes all the yuckiness bright red?
“Yoo-hoo, boys, here I am! Push me!”
Now I know that technically everything in that canister was on my floors just a few minutes ago, but there’s something so much worse about it being relet out. I mean, technically toilet water comes from the same water that runs to our sinks, but I don’t see anyone drinking that. I think I’ve made my point.
So, anyways, if you could just find a way to make these few minor adjustments, I think you’ll have the perfect vacuum.
You could even call it “The CamCam.”
Sincerely,
CamCam’s Mommy
