James Dyson, inventor of the world’s most exciting bagless vacuum cleaner, has bagged himself a knighthood… The 59-year old inventor, now the head of a billion-dollar firm, explained that failure taught him everything, and success only came because he makes things that people want to buy.
For $700 CAD not everyone who wants to by it can, but the prestige pricing helps to build the prestige of the inventor all the way to knighthood. The Dyson vac is a marvel of air sucking engineering. It proves that of all the many products and services that suck, there is more than one that can make loads of money from sucking well. On the serious side, it also shows that passion for perfection and ingenuity results in well engineered products that people want to use (and thus buy).
