When vacuuming his home, James Dyson noticed his vacuum was constantly loosing suction power and kept clogging. In order to fix this problem, James Dyson invented the world's first cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner in the late 1970's. It took him five years and 5,127 prototypes to get the Dual Cyclone(TM) just right. Next in 1983 came his first prototype vacuum, the G-force which was pink in color. He was able to get a U.S. patent in 1986 for his idea of bagless vacuums. James Dyson sent offers to many manufacturers to sell his invention. They all turned his new technology down so in return he set up his own manufacturing company. Now he outsells most of the companies that turned down his product. Dyson has become one of the most popular brands in the UK. In 2002, Dyson brought Europe's best selling vacuum to the United States.
The scientists behind Dyson were determined to out-do their previous vacuums which brought them to achieve a way to receive 45% more power suction. Dyson used a television advertising campaign to advertise that their vacuum did not require buying vacuum replacement bags. They used the slogan "say goodbye to the bag", buyers were willing to pay extra for the vacuum so they did not have to continuously buy disposable bags for their old vacuums. Hoover attempted to market bagless vacuum cleaners as well. Dyson sued Hoover UK for infringing on his patent, he won roughly million.
Whenever James Dyson had a problem, he found a way to fix it. He was constantly coming up with new ideas and inventions, such as the Dyson Airblade, a fast hand dryer. In 2005, Dyson came up with the idea to use a ball instead of wheels to create maximum movement with for a vacuum. Dyson is now one of the top competitors in the vacuum and appliance world.
