Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

The Dyson DC22 canister was very recently introduced in Japan. I have heard that this will make it to the US market in order to expand their canister range.

Key Features:

-Root Cyclone with Core Separation
-Dyson Digital Motor
-Stowaway Design
-Motorhead
-Pre filter rinse once every seven years

hi carmine

i wasnt trying to offend or insult you in any way...guess i misunderstood.....sorry about that.....but the long turnaround comes from having to wait on the manufacturer to send parts ..if in stock....finish whats ahead..then start on repair...if correct part was sent...it happens all the time.

No umbrage taken, HS.

My point, among others, is that the vacuum store owners and operators are the first line of defense for dyson warranty.

In most cases the dyson customers are irate because they paid $500 plus in the bbs and didn't get their money's worth.

Who gets the customer ventings and emotional tirades: You got it!  Vacuum cleaner store owners and operators.

Any wonder the vacuum stores have not embraced dyson products?

BBS make the sales and profits, big bucks for bbs and dyson, and vacuum stores do the dirty work [no pun intended].

Now back to the DDM 22 for $700-$800.  Who will be the likely retail venues for these new dyson canns?

What are your thoughts on the latest DDM canns?  Do you think US/Can canister vacuum customers will embrace them?

Or look passed them for more suction powered products at lower prices?

Comparing the UK DC22 to the US DC22, I see that the US model has MORE suction power, 30 air Watts more.

This will be down to the US DC22 having the Mark I Digital motor  and it spinning faster.

However, I see that the US Mark I motor spins only at 88,000 revolutions per minute; The DDM was originally supposed to spin at 100,000 rpm.

I also note that the Mark II motor as fitted to UK DC30 & 31, spins at 104,000rpm.

Hi 'turtle1'

The smaller, less powerful [230 a/w and 4,500 RPM for brush roll], and much more expensive dyson canister [aka DDM 22] is DOA. 

VDTA didn't even give it a tepid reception.  More like no reception at all.  So far, vacuum stores are doing the same.

BBS will not sell this model at $700-$800.  Too much for their sales venues.  Even at $500-$600, the DDM DC22 is a hardsell.

Dyson will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat on this one to spark sales.  Perhaps a lifetime warranty on the motor?

Thanks Trilobite.  Not much suction power: 230 a/w US and 200 a/w UK. 

Motor RPM is probably not as important as brush roll RPM's.  On the DDM22 US only 4,500.  Even ORECK with a 4 amper

revolves its brush roll at 6500.  And for alot less $.

Carmine,

He already did...  although for some reason Dyson is not celebrating or marketing the DDM DC22 like it could/should.

The DDM DC22 (aka patented and exclusive only to Dyson) vacuum measures 10 (out of 10, Kirby-like) on the Baird meter and remains a 10 (no drop in suction, unlike a Kirby/or anyone) for 4, 5, 6, or 7 years.  No sack-N-choke filter/manufacturer comes close!  No other multi-cyclonic/manufacturer comes close!

Although you give much weight to the VDTA, the VDTA, not Dyson’s radical breakthroughs are DOA.  My guess is...   less than 1% of the U.S. population has ever heard of the VDTA and this is why it is not covered in the news (large or small).

I say Dyson is dumbing down their advertised airwatts (and filtering abilities too) on the DC22 Motorhead.  The DC22 turbo nozzle with it’s air leak gets the same airwatts as the Motorhead?  How?

 if the dealers dont carry the $700-800 dyson then who will? hard to almost impossible to find a dealer/svc  center                                                                     

  and no bbx retailer wants a bunch of  $700-800  dysons that wont sell sitting on a shelf....most people dont forget

and wont forget their dealings with dyson and its lack of dealer/svc center  support...not to mention the money spent

on the purchase of it..or the crap service you get from where it was bought...bbx retailer...once youve paid...you no longer matter.

not all dealers are alike..some really suck..crooks....and some really want that new customer to be a long time happy customer.

his prices are way out of reach for most...not realistic for the current economy...dyson is a $200-250 bagless vac at best.,,,

$300 for the ddm version....if his claims are true this time,...at those prices i can see alot more dealer support/cust loyalty

to the brand.....dysons riding the wave with its flagship ddm dc-22......problem is that  his flagship is the TITANIC.

Hello DIB:

You, not me, heralded the DDM DC22 launch at the FEB 2009 VDTA here.  Now you play it down.

You, not me,  boasted little filter maintenance/costs.  Now you play it down.

http://www.abbysguide.com/vacuum/discussions/36196-0-1.html

Dyson and its supporters, like you, brag about air watts.  Now you play it down.

New dyson suction measure [really very old old vacuum school] is the baird meter.  No proof.  

You compare a new dyson cann to a KIRBY upright which has no tools on board!    ?????

The only "dumbing down" here DIB is dyson and its cheering squadron.
