Key Features:

-Root Cyclone with Core Separation

Looks like we have our first Dyson digital motor. Now where can I see one of these in person? And it's up on Dyson.com website now.


Gone is dyson's DC21 stowaway.

Hi Acerone,

Since you mentioned, I did a quick look but didn't make any significant sightings. BestBuy has picked up the DC23 the standard canister with 13-inch PN. Sears seems to be doing all it can ot move what its already got like its own new canister and also the Dyson DC21. And I can't imagine an $800 vacuum turning up in the local K-Mart. I think there may be a noticable amount of time to pass before the little DC22 shows up. It is expensive and, I think, unless put on the shelves by some high-end venfor likw William Sonoma, Sharper Image (nearly gone I believe) it's going to be difficult to persuade even big boxers to put these out.

Carmine, don't all the bigger vacuum manufacturers now have a minimum order quantity? Meaning that you can't just buy a few to test the waters saleswise.

I'd also guess that there are enough DC21 models still in stock that those looking for one won't have to worry.

Hi Venson:

In good sales times, the vacuum producers through their sales reps discourage selling one/two new pieces to dealers by charging high prices.  Making it more attractive to go with an order of 3-6 per model.  In these current times, not so much.  A sale is sale even in small one/two numbers.  Usually a sales rep will pick up a new model from one of his/her bigger dealers and sell to the smaller dealer [and make it worth while for buyer and seller].

Hi,

It's about 4:15 p.m. and I just did a tour of duty at my local BestBuy and Costco. Nothing much is going on. The Dysons of the day at BestBuy remain the two "$#%*" and one clutchless model, DC14 I believe of which they have six or eight boxes each. A few other Dysons, one can and some uprights are being sold as "open box" items for $199 each. This is a joke of course because all of the cleaners have been used and left dirty. (Look like vacuums used for cleaning the store.) The two Platinum uprights are still at the back of the line and not in plain view.

Costco is showing little, as usual, and the "stars" of the day -- the self-propelled Hoover (still $189)and its bagless line partner ($128 approx.)-- are about it.

Best,

Venson

Hi Venson:

In the current economic malaise, high priced vacuums are an afterthought by most big box retailers and shoppers.

The BEST BUY open box items usually get marked down weekly if they don't sell.  Good time/way to pick up a $500

MSRP vacuum for $50, as is.  Got my eye on a few at my local BEST BUY.  Great for donations and gifts.

Thanks Ace. 

Anyone know the reason that the air watts on dyson's DC23 is 220 for USA model and 251 [constant] for UK model? 

Recently I noted dyson's DC19 T2 on the UK cite was 280 air watts.  DC22 for USA shows 230 air watts. 

DC11 was 275 air watts. 

Very confusing air watt numbers for these dyson canister models.

Agreed.

More so when I'm sure I read years ago, that the 'all singing, all dancing' Dyson Digital Motor was supposed to generate one third MORE suction power than existing motors. Clearly the motor is incapable of such a feat, for if it had, the US DC22 would surely be around the 300 air Watts mark.

The dyson claim appears to have evolved to mean energy efficiency [as in less power usage?] as opposed to air watts [suction power]?  I have to wonder if the dyson digital motor will be to the vacuum industry what the Chevy Vega aluminum block engine was to the automobile industry.  A nice try but no cigar.

The Dyson digital motor

“It’s incredible that electric motors have changed so little since they were first invented, 180 years ago.

Dyson engineers have done away with outdated, energy-hungry components. Ten years in the making, our digital motors are faster, more power-efficient and much cleaner.”

James Dyson<br /> Inventor of Cyclone technology
