Given Dyson’s patent filing strategy, the patents for technologies that are eventually commercialised are probably disguised a bit better! Not sure if these are just too obvious to be serious. As their own spokesperson says - they file a LOT of patents.

All that said, it would be great to have a vacuum that can climb the stairs for those of us that live in multi-storey houses.
