Re: Dyson / Panasonic Link
the story goes that to fund the initial production of Dyson vacs in europe, he sold the rights in Japan to a company there who manufuctured them (without the clear dust container as the Japanese dont like to see their own dirt) so I guess there may be a connection with Matsushita somewhere along the line and as they are all manufactured in Asia now anyway….who knows.
As for the Neff Bosch microwaves, i think the whole product is from Matsushita, never mind just the mags.
