 Well vacmanuk we've been aced. It looks like you'll have to ditch the new Sebo and I my Mieles. Carmine, toss out the Oreck. It's just not small enough. What were we thinking? Jimmy D has done it again. http://www.calgaryherald.com/life/Around+House/3344559/story.html Canada's announcing the Dyson DC 26 "City". How clever! Sorry but you farmers out there can't have one too. We city slickers can't use "giant" vacuum cleaners like those in rural and suburban parts of the nation so this press release says. http://www.dyson.com/environment/ Is it new/ Is it original? Is it environmental. I'd say not but it's is slightly cheaper. Venson

Well it hasn't stopped Hoover from doing a Dyson copy of similar hose storing. This is the latest from Hoover UK under their Freespace range, called the "Freespace Evo." Their Freespace range is a line of compact cylinder vacuums (their bagless ones are awful) and weigh 5.7 kg on average with 2.3 litre dust capacity bags.
Eureka did it back in the 60's with its O style cann using a wrap that was concealed in a round sandwich like vacuum design HOOVER used a similar feature around the same time hidden with its portable line of canisters where the hose wrapped inside a boxed design. As our illustrious Moderator likes to say: What's old is new again.

Now we know with certainty the kind of engineers dyson employs: Marketing engineers. Nothing changes except the spin. Same as a straight suction nozzle DC22, called by a new name, and price drop of $200. Figures. Japanese customers where the original baby dyson was launched are known for paying premium. DC22 has run its course there. Pick up and sell in Canada with some marketing twists. Carmine D.
Thanks Carmine, you got my drift. If I used the term "original" it was purely for irony's sake. By the way, I feel the hose wrap idea can't work on this model because the vacuum's just too small.. I also think the public is being cheated for the the 500 bucks Canadian as what is offered with this cleaner is the "flat out" nozzle (now a $50.00 option for other Dysons) witn no brush mechanism for serious bare floor cleaning but just velcro fitted on for rugs and bare floors.
I'm glad the space-challenged Japanese had the kind of disposable income to go after the mini-vac. Dyson should follow that old Jello advertising campaign -- "Just when you think there isn't room for one thing more . . ." you can still fit a Dyson in your closet. Venson
