The label “limited edition” has fascinated the American market for decades. I am not sure if it is because we like to own a piece of history, if we believe that something that is limited has a higher perceived value, or if maybe we are just a little pretentious and want to be able to say we have something very few others do. But at any rate Dyson has joined the leagues of companies producing limited edition products and I thought you should know about it.
The Dyson DC25 Blueprint is a newly released limited edition version of the Dyson DC25 ball vacuum cleaner. The Blueprint doesn’t sport any new features and is really in no way different than the original DC25, accept that it comes in the color white and there are only 600 available.
The Blueprint is on sale only through the official Dyson website and quantities I am sure will be going fast as the DC25 is one of the companies most popular models.
Rather than trying to give you a lengthy review of the vacuums specs, which I have covered in my previous article, Dyson The Ball. I am going to give you a little info as to why Dyson created this limited edition vacuum.
According to the Dyson company the story behind the blueprint is about honoring the engineers of the world that have had the guts to take an idea and to see it through to an end. The vacuum is built to honor those that tried and failed, and failed, and failed until they eventually found success.
On the Dyson website they list the story of 3 engineers and how they stumbled through the invention process to create some the greatest inventions of our time. Edison and his light bulb, Goodyear and his rubberized compound, and fuller with his dome.
These three gentlemen created unique products that have been used the world over and without their tenacity and perseverance the world may have never seen them.
Dyson himself is on the list of great engineers as his line of vacuums has changed an industry and he only pushes himself further into new markets as he grows.
In my opinion not only is the Dyson Blueprint DC25 vacuum a memorial to those engineers of the past, but an inspiration to Dyson himself and the engineers to come after him.
