Dyson Ltd is a British technology company created by inventor James Dyson that designs and manufactures vacuum cleaners, hand dryers, bladeless fans, heaters, hair dryers and lighting. The first Dyson vacuum cleaner using cyclonic separation was manufactured in 1986 under licence in Japan and its success enabled Dyson to set up a research centre and factory in Wiltshire 1993. The cylinder design and transparent dust container are popular and enduring features and numerous versions of the design have since followed along with other air-powered technologies. It sells machines in over 70 countries. In 2016 a Dyson Demo store opened on London's Oxford Street to showcase the range of Dyson Products.
