I wrote Dyson a couple days ago asking if they were planning on ever relasing the Dyson Contrarotator washer in the US at all and here is the reply I just recieved!: Hi James, Thank you for your interest in Dyson. The Dyson washing machine uses patented 2-drum technology and has 124 other patents and patent applications. In fact it has twice the number of components as other machines. 89% of owners love their Dyson 2-drums and recommend it to their family and friends, and Which? recently found Dyson 2-drums to be the best performing machine. The reality for Dyson is that this highly innovative machine is very expensive to make specifically for one country. Dyson 2-drums were designed for the UK market, meaning that Dyson doesn't gain the manufacturing efficiencies that would be possible if the machine were sold globally. Dyson has temporarily withdrawn the washing machine from the UK market while our teams of engineers develop the next generation of the Dyson washing machine, which will use innovative technology designed for a global market. If you have any additional concerns, please call the Dyson helpline at 1-866-MY-DYSON. We are available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 8 pm, Saturday from 8 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm (CST) to accept your call. Regards, Tracy Richardson Customer Service Representative Dyson, Inc. 600 West Chicago Avenue Suite 275 Chicago, IL 60610 ph: 866-693-9766 fax: 312-469-5952 | ||

See, now I read this totally differently.....
It sounds like the Dyson washers as a brand-name will be global, but probably not the contra-rotators. Based on their own admission, there are too many complicated parts and too much overhead (costs/expesne) with this machine which appears to have been an economic failure even in its own original market. The washer division would pribably have liked an income from selling washers (if it were possible) while working on R&D for a better washer. The contra-rotator engineering needs to be re-engineered (eliminated, perhaps?) to be able to compete. | ||

Doing a "Meatball"
Lol...dare we ask what you mean by that!!! Hi jamie, what a very interesting answer to your question!! I wonder what Dyson UK will say to the same question, lets find out!!! The more I see the "Dyson Wash Technology" the more I am intregued...having seen the recent vids on here I can see why the "HandWash" movement would work, having watched my mum and grans mimic the same movement in handwashing getting clean results.... I love the fact tha James Dyson is a Britsh Entrapeneur who had the courage of his convictions for a different product and stuck to his guns in the face of possibly his own bankrupcy etc.....me personally IMHO I would like less plastic, more streamlined look for kitchen integration etc .....watch this space... | ||

You're right. The Contrarotator would have the Contrarotating technology in all territories. I also think they'll finally come out with a matching dryer for the machine. | ||

It would probably also do away with lint with a cyclonic jet system like Dyson vacuums have. | ||
