You'd be forgiven for thinking that Dyson's testing facility is a little cruel at first glance. Prototypes are subjected to months of repeated and rigorous testing, using different equipment for each part. In the tumbling test, parts are shaken and rattled in a steel box for days. Another rams cleaning heads into a steel table leg at 30 km/h. And a robotic arm pushes machines back and forth for the equivalent of 21 years.

During development, a Dyson vacuum cleaner will fall on a hard floor 5,318 times. It will travel 1,357 kilometers on a turntable, which is like being pushed and pulled from Dyson's headquarters in Malmesbury, UK, to Valencia, Spain. And it will take 120 engineers, 50,000 hours and 550 tests to make sure it's robust enough.
