Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Apparently there's a new Dyson model that will be launched in February at the VDTA Convention.  I don't know any further specifics on whether or not it's going to be a canister or upright, but apparently all attendees of the show will be able to see it and place their orders.  I wonder if the $899 pricetag will be a detriment to sales, or are Americans willing to pay a premium for superior performance and space-age motor technology?

Has anyone else heard anything yet?  I'm curious to know what it is as I bought the DC21 right when it came out in March.  That and the DC17 are the only ones that impressed me so far, it will be interesting to see how this one is.

I take it the DC27 like the DC17 will be for the USA market and no where else?

Anybody any clues or ideas as to what the DC26, DC28 may be?  Wonder of the 'ball' feature will appear on any of them!?

DC18

BEST BUY stores is giving away a DC16 Handheld, straight suction nozzle, with the purchase of a DC25 ball for $549.  No hype and hawk slogans for these models.  Hhhmmm?
