Dyson Digital Slim
Original Message   Jul 19, 2010 5:58 pm
Here's the details of a trademark that Dyson has filed for a to-be-launched project, the 'Digital Slim':-

http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-os/t-find/t-find-number?detailsrequested=C&trademark=2552353


As usual, the trademark covers a multitude of product categories. Personally, I'd reckon the most likely candidate is a 'slim' upright vacuum, with a 'digital' motor. Dyson have used the 'slim' name before - on the DC18. The upright range has long been missing a product with digital motor. I would also be good if by slim, they mean as thin in profile as the DC03 - which could be hung on the wall and take up next to no space inside a storeage cupboard:-

The major downside was it's small, weedy motor. But if replaced with a similar model using a digital motor, it wouldn't have that same issue.

Carmine, it offers MORE features and MORE performance - not less. You can variably adjust the suction power and the motor lets you know when the filter needs to be changed or if there is something wrong; also, *NO* carbon dust emissions (thus essentially a CARE-FREE (almost) HEPA filter), and the motor will lost a *LOOONG* time, unlike conventional motors *most, anyways*. Bias strikes again! :D


If assessing the future based on the past is bias, count me so.  I don't plunk down $799 based on some wild poster who buys 12 junk dysons and says they are the best ever made.  Have to show me with proof not words.

Hello DC18:

Nice to see you and hear from you again here.  What if any of the dysons now/to come have your interest?

Hello Carmine D Thanks, nice to be back. Been interesting reading on here! I'm interested in this Dyson Digital Slim to see what this may be! Although I'm still using a DC15 Ball I do quite like the current DC25 Ball thats out. THe new DC33 looks good too! DC18

I never had any issues with my DC03, the only draw back I found was suction power was not very good. Other than that I found it to be OK, especially as it was slim over the DC01 at the time. We still have the DC03 with another family member using it. It still has the original filters when it was new, although I'm sure the pre motor filter needs replacing by now!! The only part that has broken is the 'struts' along the soleplate. Dyson should use the metal soleplate found on the DC15. It will be interesting to see what form the Dyson Digital Slim takes. There is an entry for this on wikipedia dubbed as the DC35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dyson_products DC18

As referenced on the Wikipedia entry, the DC33 upright was announced this week; an updated version of the DC27/DC28 and weighs slightly less (-0.5kg). Full spec on Dyson UK web site.

Hello DC18:

I'm not a fan of the dyson ball models.  If I had to choose, it would be the DC25 BUT a word of caution if you are buying.  Within a year of launch of these models, there were problems with the main motor wiring harness in the DC25 models.  They broke in two.  Motor goes dead.  Retailers/customers were reporting the models were not running within months of purchase.  One authorized dyson dealer here stopped selling the model even at customer requests until he could comfirm dyson had a reliable fix.  I supect by now it does but I haven't verified with him [yet].  He keeps pestering me to work for him exclusively on dyson repairs and refurbs and I keep turning him down.  BTW, BEST BUY insiders told me the DC15 was the worse seller of all dysons it carried except for the DC11.  The DC15 ball MSRP fiasco didn't help.  Dropped the official MSRP by $100 within months of launch. 

WRT a DDM slim, that has my interest too.  But like all innovative products [iPhone 4], comes with risks, not the least of which is the usual exorbitant dyson price.  It appears the DC33 on the dyson GB site does not have DDM.  Appears to be a budget dyson model based on a hybrid of existing models in the line up.

Carmine D.

PS: Thanks for the Wikipedia dyson site.  Very interesting.

Hi Carmine D Thanks for your info. I prefer the Dyson Ball models to the standard ones, although I did like my DC07 when I had it! I prefer the DC25 over the DC24, although I'm not planning to upgrade the DC15 as yet still has live in it! The DC25 is quite a popular model in the UK so I hear. I'll be interested to see what form the next Dyson Ball models take, might wait until then to upgrade or see what the Dyson Digital Slim is going to be! The DC33 is a hybrid of the DC14 and DC27 models and no DDM is present in the UK versions which is a shame! The DDM Slim has my interest too! I seen that Wikipedia has removed the DC35 Dyson Digital Slim entry off the site now, wonder why!? DC18

Wikipedia reports: "Factually incorrect as the DC35 does not exist" ...which is pretty much true.

Hello DC18:

You have to have an inclination for the ball dyson models to like them.  I thought the DC15 did a decent job on rugs.  But it was a monstrosity.  Most people just didn't cotton up to the vacuum.  They were intrigued with it.  But price turned them off along with poundage.  Much like the HOOVER Z which was criticized for those reasons.  Most dyson users/buyers who I talk with, if they like their dysons, tell me they don't like the ball model.  When I ask them what dyson model they use, they can't always tell me but say right off NOT THE ONE WITH THE BALL. 

At the expense of being redundant, I believe a DDM slim upright is not on the dyson radar screen yet except in the minds of Sir James and perhaps a few close to him.  Missed the boat on lightweights like a slim and robots where dyson could have carved out nice niche markets to supplement its business operations.  Too scattered and unfocused on all things not vacuums.  It's hurt him and the company except for lifting short term ego and immediate bucks in the bank.

I never liked the ball at all. Had difficulty cleaning under low furniture, a fact that can be seen made easier by a Sebo X1.1 from this user on you tube:

Hello Carmine D Yes you do I suppose. The newer Ball Models are lighter to the DC15, and I think the DC15 does a very good job on rugs\carpets, but I'm told the DC25 goes one better! The DC15 was very bulky compared to the DC25 thats out now! It's a shame Dyson didn't (or maybe they are working on it!) push the DC18 Slim Model more, I like the DC18 especially as the cleaning head pertrudes the actual body of the cleaner. I'm hoping the Dyson DDM Slim in more than in the minds, and that they are working on this project. They need a model in the line up that can go flat on the floor to clean under low furniture without having to use the tools all the time. Heres hoping!! DC18
