The Dyson Story

The first Dyson

The first Dyson

Using income from the Japanese licence, James Dyson decided to manufacture a new model under his own name in Britain.

In June 1993 he opened his research centre and factory in Wiltshire, not far from his home, and developed a machine that collected even finer particles of dust (microscopic particles as small as cigarette smoke).

The result was the DCO1, the first in a range of cleaners to give constant suction.
