This is Peak Dyson.
Evolution is smarter than capitalism. After millennia of mutation, when the shark perfected its adaptation to its environment, what did it do? It stopped evolving. Once it achieved maximum survival efficiency, evolution didn’t have it to come out with new models of shark every year or two with mostly cosmetic upgrades. Evolution didn’t have to worry about hitting arbitrary growth targets, or getting publicity with splashy product launches, or making perfectly good shark models obsolete just so people would have to buy the new shark.
In the four years since Dyson released the DC41, they’ve continued to release new models. These newer Dysons have a bell here, a whistle there, some styling changes that are neither worse nor better. But the only significant metric where they clearly surpass the DC41 is the price tag. And not in a good way.
Following the relentless logic of consumerism, Dyson has already put the DC41 out to pasture. But it remains the closest they’ve come to perfection, the ultimate balance of efficiency, suction, power, everything you want in a serious vacuum. Its supremacy is even more obvious now that it’s available at overstock prices. And barring any major breakthroughs in vacuum technology, it’ll stay at the top of that heap well into the 2020s.
That’s why we bought up every refurbished Dyson DC41, let’s just say millions of dollars worth. That’s why we roll them out on the regular here, in three different configurations of accessories. It remains our undisputed champ of vacuums, the shark at the top of the carpet-cleaning ecosystem. We could sell you a newer model. But we couldn’t sell you a better one.
