The prestigious James Dyson award for new inventions always gives us a chance to get a glimpse of some gadgets that could go on to change to the world. This year’s winner could help to save the lives of some of the most vulnerable babies in the world. That’s because it is the prototype of an inflatable incubator for premature babies. The man behind it is called James...

All in all, it’s been a pretty good year for Dyson. They are celebrating their 21st birthday and have talked about a massive £250m expansion that would make the Wiltshire research and development centre double its current size. This, therefore, seems like a good time to show the world a few of their ideas that never made it into the real world as products for sale. Perhaps...

I’ve long been a fan of Dyson cleaners, but have never considered anything but an upright cleaner. The pull along types have always seemed like too much work to me, which is why I was very interested when Dyson asked me to review their DC39 Animal; perhaps this could be the model that would sway me away from my faithful Dyson upright. In the box Before we look at...

With all the hot weather of late, we were pleased when Dyson agreed to send us their brand new fan to review. The Dyson Hot and Cool is a heater and fan built in one, which carries the same ultra modern styling as other Dyson products.

There are many reasons for choosing a Dyson vacuum cleaner and the new DC49 model gives us a new one to consider. The incredibly compact design of this machine means that it is ideal for anyone who doesn’t much storage space or who doesn’t fancy moving a big vacuum cleaner around the house. In terms of size, the Dyson DC49’s footprint isn’t much bigger than...

Washing and drying your hands has traditionally been a rather mundane, perhaps even dull, task. Part of the blame for this is down to the fact that few, if any gadgets, are involved in the process. Well, that is about to change, thanks to Dyson. The British firm has revealed to the world a sleek high speed hand dryer which also offers hot and cold water. It is called the...

After selling millions of his towel-less dryers, bladeless fans and bagless vacuum cleaners, Sir James Dryson has developed a new device that warms rooms. Sir James’ new product, called the Dyson Hot, uses a technology first developed for the Air Multiplier to generate air flow without moving parts. The Dyson Hot is a mile away from the conventional fan heaters that...

The British based home appliance maker Dyson, who are primarily known for making top end vacuum cleaners has announced a new innovation in pet grooming called the Dyson groom tool. The add on attaches to your existing Dyson to let you suck up hair, dirt and dust straight off your dog before it has chance to settle on the furniture. The designers have made the grooming...

The James Dyson Award, which chooses the most innovative and useful technological idea, has been given to Australian Samuel Adeloju for his Buoyancy Bazooka design. The device fires a buoyancy aid up to 150 metres in to the sea and could potentially save thousands of lives every year in the UK and abroad. The winning design was chosen from a shortlist of 15 and was hotly...
