Petition to restart manufacture of Dyson Contrarotator CR01 Washing Machine

The petition

Dear Mr Dyson.

This is an open letter and petition for you to strongly reconsider the cease in manufacture of the Contrarotator washing machine.

The history of this washing machine was very short lived and this petition will hopefully grow to a size to show you how many existing and potential users feel that it should be made available yet again to the UK market. As I am sure you are aware, British history is littered with great inventions that demised much before their time.

We feel that while the reasons for is discontinuation are obviously yours alone to consider, there is still a strong enough demand for the machine albeit not mass market as some of the extremely cheap machines available. I would ask those leaving a signature to state if they feel the number of options was necessary and whether a single machine such as the CR01 memory would have been sufficient. Also not withstanding the colourful scheme of the Dyson brand, whether a more subtle colour tone would have been more acceptable to buyers.

There are rumours abound that there is a potential successor to the original Contrarotator. We can only hope that it doesn’t forsake the key selling features of the original machine. While there are many machines that claim to have 7.5kg and 8kg loads, they still cannot match the volumatic ‘duvet’ capacity of the Contrarotator. Many of the owners of the new breed 8kg of machines may be highly disappointed in this regard to the expectation of this volume capacity.

We hope this petition will be viewed in positive light and look forward to your response as the number of signatures grows. As a recent purchaser of a secondhand CR01 I can also say how happy I was to have a friendly and helpful conversation with one of your call centre employees.

Kind regards, Martyn Pollard (and petitioners)
