Got the absolute+ model from the carboot this morning. Payed only £7 for it and it works but is very discoloured and has no tools:(. |

It looks like the regular model which has been rebuilt with yellow & lilac parts. |

In the ad for the DC01 and DC02, the banner claims "the world's first bagless vacuum", which is complete lie. The Rexair model A was the world's first bagless vacuum that didn't lose suction, made in 1936. Today, it's called the Rainbow. Just because James never SAW a Rainbow (or any other bagless cleaner) didn't mean they didn't exist.

Fair does Repair, as much as I love Rainbow, I think marketing here is the majorly differing issue. I have no clue what's it like on the other side of the pond however in Europe Dyson was most definitely the first bagless vacuum, at least advertised as much. Rainbow's been strong since the 80s/90s however considering its massive cost compared to earnings here (and take into consideration the political situation of Europe in the late 80s and 90s, Thatcher, communism in some parts of Europe, classist society), a spending such as the Rainbow system was something only the ones higher up could justify, and hence it was far out of reach, sight or even thinking for maaaaany. I wasn't even aware it existed until once as I kid I visited my very rich auntie who had a D4. Dyson, on the other hand, was everywhere and available at the fraction of the cost. God knows how would this end up if Dyson was only sold via presentations - like Kirby, Rainbow, etc?
Sorry for the small rant, I'm just really into all that haha! True that, if you go into detail it probably wasn't the first bagless vacuum ever. I bet we could even find some random cleaners from all over the world that had some sort of solution to the bag (according to James) problem. But I'd say in popular culture - it is Dyson |
