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...

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
