When news that Dyson was adding a handheld vacuum to its range reached my ears, I was excited. This is a brand known for its cutting-edge engineering; its boundary-pushing designs. What innovations would it come up with for the all-new Dyson Car+Boat?
Turns out, not many. When I unboxed my review model, it felt familiar. The specs, too, seemed very similar to what I remembered from another vacuum. Then I got my old Dyson V8 out, to compare, and had a Lindsey Lohan Parent Trap moment. The Car+Boat wasn't just similar to the V8, it was identical. To create the Car+Boat, Dyson has taken a V8, removed the wand and floorheads, and popped one new attachment into the box. It even says 'Dyson V8' on the box of my review model.
