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

Looks like one of my favorite vacs that I never had a chance to see in person is gone from dyson's US website. Dose that mean its gone for good? I think so.

Hello Acerone:

I can't and don't speak for dyson BUT, I think it's a goner in the USA.  Still on the UK site tho as are all the other dyson models that have been scrubbed in the USA.  Note that the Nov 2010 Consumer Reports gave dyson and DC22 in particular a drubbing except to note that the brand has better than most other brands' reliability.

Well it's no longer DC22 but it is DC26 City Vacuum and will be launched in BEST BUY stores on Nov 1, 2010:

Mini but mighty according to James Dyson at a price of $399.  Already on both the UK and USA dyson web sites.

Well, the DC26 according to Which?UK Consumer testing only got 57%. This is without any motorised brush and it's lack of moving brushes let it down on pet hair removal. 57% is just about average but definately not a best buy in the cylinder/canister category.

Vacmanuk:  There isn't a correlation in percentages between Which? and Consumer Reports [I think but don't know], but with CR it is generally felt a score of 60 percent or higher for a vacuum is noteworthy.  Those scoring below, unworthy at least by CR measures.

On Which the higher percentage to 100% makes it a best buy. Miele and Bosch cylinders are above 90% Vacuums with a lower percentage of 40% and lower make them "don't buys." The Dyson here is stuck firmly in the middle.
