The Dyson Demo Store opened its doors last year inside Toronto's Yorkdale shopping center and encourages product interaction with a series of educational displays and product testing stations. Known for its premium range of next-generation vacuum cleaners, humidifiers and most recently, its Dyson Supersonic hairdryer, the brand appeals to both lovers of luxury and function with products that are well made, aesthetically pleasing and worth investing in.
Yorkdale's Dyson Demo Store spotlights how the brand's different products work to "solve real problems" and is described as "a place that brings to life the science and engineering at the heart of each machine."
Those looking to experience the new Dyson Supersonic hairdryer can book a session with an in-store stylist who will show them all that's innovative about the product whereas those looking to test a vacuum or another device can simply reserve an info session appointment spot online.
