Did Dyson really have to do a bunch of research to develop the Air Multiplier?

Best fans in the world! If you have $300 that you absolutely can't find anything better to do with. Apparently though his hand dryer is much better (faster) than normal ones and much more energy efficient. And a billions times the price.

Ridiculously noisy.
Looks cool.
Try and get your hands on a quality fan from the 30s or 40s. You may well find it's quieter and more efficient. Might even look cooler, depending on your taste!
The Dyson vacuum cleaner was the worst I ever had. Unloaded it and bought a Miele for half the price.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've heard the Dyson vacuum really sucks, which normally is a good thing for a vacuum cleaner. However, it still doesn't do such a great job picking up dirt compared to some of its competitors. My brother has one and loves it. I'll stick with the Oreck that I paid a lot less for.

Let's just say when I got divorced I left it will my ex. Attachments were useless.

My brother and his wife are heading for Splitsville as well. I wonder if she'll get the Dyson?

A local high profile restaurant here has Dyson hand dryers. They're actually pretty amazing. Dry your hands in about 2.2 seconds. lol Sounds like a jet engine though while it's running.

I've used the Dyson hand dryers before. I agree they are amazing and work very quickly. I own a Dyson Ball (DC-25) vacuum and it's by far the best vacuum I've ever used (and I've used my share). It's light, works great, is manuverable as can be. If you are in the maket for a vacuum, just spend the money on a Dyson. They really suck (in the good way).

Agreed on the Dyson Ball. We got the larger DC-15 because the 25 wasn't around then. 2005...

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
