Was a single cyclone separator used in this prior vacuum?
DIB Yep, no multi-cyclonic tech was used in the old Eureka. It was almost the same layout as well, with the large debris container/shroud separated from the fine dust collection compartment.

The vacuum manufacturers are jumping on the Dyson free-ride big time this year. I just visited my local Target and it looks like their Bissell's and Hoover's are almost fully converted to single and multi-cyclonics. And lookie, lookie... the mighty Electrolux (upright, heavy as a tank) has almost caught up with the Fantom vacuum (Dyson dual cyclone technologies). - Good for them.

Re: The all new Dyson DC26 "Japan"

Sorry, but $800 is waaaay to expensive for this machine. Even if it had DDM, I don't think a price above $550 would be reasonable, by Dyson standards anyway: however, without the DDM, $400 should be the price it is sold for. Think about it, the DC26 is a DC31 with wheels and a hose, sans the DDM. It should be priced comparably with the DC24. If this machine does cross the pond with an $800 price tag, then why not jack up the MSRP of the DC24 to $700 (of course, I don't see this happening). An $800 MSRP for the DC26 is too freaking much.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Dyson needs to pull an Apple, and open up concept stores for their products. I believe consumers buying expensive higher-end goods demand an equally high-end buying experience as well, with product experts abound, product demonstrations, and an appealing sales floor environment that draws in the curious (that's why I go to the Apple store to buy my Mac stuff rather than Best-Buy or the late CompUSA).

I suspect the price will come down after a year. When the DC23 was launched, it was sold for $749. Now the MSRP is $599. I suspect after a year, the DC22 will be closer to the $600 range. AAAvacs.com is selling the DC22 Turbinehead/Motorhead for $499/$599, respectively.
I have been using a DC22 for a week now, and it really seems to eliminate any dust bypass , even though a little bit of sands gets through. Very little dust bypasses the core separator, which tells me it's doing almost all of the particle separating.

Re: Dyson DC31 Handheld cleaner

Does the Dyson have an extension hose to allow you to get into tight spaces? While I haven't used one, the Dyson looks awkward to use in the tight spaces of a car. I much prefer a canister vacuum, preferably with a small motorized brush. It would seem that the Dyson would get heavy since all of the weight is in your hands while you clean, compared to a canister vac in which you only hold the hose and/or tools. </p><p>Instead of a toy handheld, give us a small canister/shop vac with cyclone technology for $100 to clean out the car.
Yes, a hose is offered for $20, as well as a cleaning kit for $60. And you can use any of the newer "snap-on" dyson attachments with the hose as well.
