23 Minutes to Resolution: A Testimonial of Dyson's Unparalleled Customer Support
A single call to Dyson support and only 23 minutes of my time.
Unbelievable.
Dyson Customer support is exceptional! We’ve had a broken vacuum handle for many months.
I spent more time and energy complaining about the broken handle compared to how long it took for customer service to resolve the problem and order a replacement. 🤦🏻♀️
How long did I spend with Dyson customer service?
23 minutes.
I described the problem. She asked many questions. She sent me a link to allow me to send pics and video the vacuum.
23 minutes. This is unheard of. I anticipated to spend AT LEAST 45 minutes on the phone and painfully explaining the problems repeatedly as I’ve experienced with other companies. I anticipated to feel frustrated, but it was painless and easy!
