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

Only 3 months?  Geez, that's pretty good.  I've had stuff on back order thru Panasonic that has taken almost 6 months to get.  Manufacturers are more concerned with getting whole goods to the market than they are parts and supplies.  Sadly, this just works in favour of the big box stores because they'll just take a unit back if there is an issue and write it off where as the small independant has to either take parts off their own machine or patiently wait while the customer takes a strip off them.

Wait! So the DC22 is now here in the US?

Hi Acerone,

Iy appears to be released for sale as there are two online vendors who are offering it at $800. However, only the more standard size DC23 has a page at www.dyson.com. (Price is $600.)

Enter "Dyson DC22" at either www.nextag.com or www.pricegrabber.com.

Best,

Wow, so the DC21 was phased out after all (I assume since it's no longer on the Dyson site), and not a moment too soon. The DC23 is far superior.

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.

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].
