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

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.
