    I think the companies define thier terms very clearly of you care to look.
    I'm talking about what an individual person values, not how a magazine defines something.

    You realize you are talking to the guy who made his own furniture out of salad bowls right?

    Tell me again how my Dyson doesn't do an amazing job when I've owned 5 other vacuums that don't work worth a shit in comparison.
    I won't weigh in on the car debate but I do know that Dyson's are absolute shit and if you love it you've been brainwashed. I think Consumer Reports does a better job than you're giving them credit for.

    I just bought a 200€ Winix Air Purifier that is 5x better than my 500€ Dyson one. Same goes for the vacuums. My Miele does laps around the Dyson for air purification, reliability, suction, everything.

    Check out any of the good YouTube testers who do experiments with a range of products.

    yup dyson's are garbage vaccuums. Their stick vacuum you literally carry all the heavy weight of the canister and motor around while squeezing the trigger the entire time. My ergorapido and other stick vacuums have the motor and weight at the floor and you just hang on to the end of the handle and wiggle it around nomsayin
    Tap, Rack, BANG!

    That and the teenie tiny HEPA filters don't even work since they don't seal to the vacuum properly (my biggest pet peeve with my Dyson fan/filter is how shitty the filtration is).

    You’re right. I went off on a tangent. By the previous comment of subjective I assumed what was meant is we all define it differently or at least prioritize things differently.

    Silly example: if you told me a Cavalier/Sunfire could last 500,000+km, I wouldn’t even care. I couldn’t overlook the vastly poor “quality” materials in that car from head to toe.

    So did they blow the op yet or what?
    Yes. I have been blown and it was rated "fair". Definitely not a lemon.

    Check this shit out! It actually is a tabloid!
