Hi Venson: In the current economic malaise, high priced vacuums are an afterthought by most big box retailers and shoppers. The BEST BUY open box items usually get marked down weekly if they don't sell. Good time/way to pick up a $500 MSRP vacuum for $50, as is. Got my eye on a few at my local BEST BUY. Great for donations and gifts. Carmine D.

It's now back on the website along with the Animal model... Thanks Ace.
Anyone know the reason that the air watts on dyson's DC23 is 220 for USA model and 251 [constant] for UK model? Recently I noted dyson's DC19 T2 on the UK cite was 280 air watts. DC22 for USA shows 230 air watts. DC11 was 275 air watts. Very confusing air watt numbers for these dyson canister models. Carmine D.

Agreed.
More so when I'm sure I read years ago, that the 'all singing, all dancing' Dyson Digital Motor was supposed to generate one third MORE suction power than existing motors. Clearly the motor is incapable of such a feat, for if it had, the US DC22 would surely be around the 300 air Watts mark.

The dyson claim appears to have evolved to mean energy efficiency [as in less power usage?] as opposed to air watts [suction power]? I have to wonder if the dyson digital motor will be to the vacuum industry what the Chevy Vega aluminum block engine was to the automobile industry. A nice try but no cigar.
Carmine D. The Dyson digital motor“It’s incredible that electric motors have changed so little since they were first invented, 180 years ago.
Dyson engineers have done away with outdated, energy-hungry components. Ten years in the making, our digital motors are faster, more power-efficient and much cleaner.”

in reality who really cares about a power efficient vacuum ....as long as it has great power ..suction. ..high quality hepa filtering , decent noise level..package that and the public will take it, buy it ...reguardless of the amount of energy it uses, the vast majority of the people want pure power...a vacuum that does what its supposed to do....at a decent price......example-a 90$ HOOVER TEMPO will hang with or out do any DYSON ..all day long..everytime. Hi "turtle1"
Conspicuously absent from the latest dyson claim about its digital motor is comparable suction power to the traditional industry armature/brush motor. To truly be worthy of the premium price paid, dyson's motor claim has to include this equality not just in words but in actions. Vacuum consumers will sacrifice energy efficiency and cleaner exhaust for more suction power at a lower price. This appears true for vehicles too. Hybrids are generally viewed as not worth the premium over gas cars. Carmine D.

Carmine D. power sells....and from all the hype i among many others thought or were led to believe by sir james that this was to be the untouchable motor...power far beyond the norm.....10 years and a 90$ tempo shows you how its done....just a little dirtier...soon the comp will take this motor..study it and make it a true powerhouse....thats what has worked for the imports...take it and make it better..the only difference here is dyson foots the bill....and someone else makes it what it should have been in the first place....and then sell it in a unit @ a 1/4 of the price of a dyson......kinda like now.
