Two models, one small, one large :-

DC24

DC25

Wow, I never saw this coming.  I had hoped they would redo the Ball design sometime, but I didn't think it would be this soon!  The Gizmodo site shows the price in dollars so I assume they will also be brought here.  Wish they had incorporated Level 3 technology and the DDM into these models, though, but hey, you can't have everything at once.

What I see both of them DO have is the much-needed center suction channel in the nozzle...take that, DC15 haters!

Again, I just love the fact that these new models are even better.  One of these days (and I predict in the near future), all of these improvements will come back to bite those dead-set against Dyson in the rear end, in a very BIG way.  They will have nothing to go against anymore; it will be funny about 10 years from now when we will still see the same old drivel about the DC07/14's poor performance, or how the DC15 can't hold a piece of paper to the nozzle ;-)

Hi DC18,
It's a little frustrating not to be able to see the finer details! You could be right re: post motor filter. It appears that they've further refined the construction of 'The Ball' arrangement, which will hopefully mean that they can maintain a lower price point. Good to see the smaller / lighter version too.

Hi M00seUK

It is frustrating but there is some detail on the web. Click on explore features on the DC24 or DC25 and it gives you a inside exploded shot of the new ball setup on these models!

I have to say the price points on them are very good with the DC24 being cheaper than the DC18 and the DC25 the same price!

Seems there is no offical launch on these!?

We now have the two...

I saw your message and checked the Dyson website now, glad to see they updated their pages.  Now the question is, when will we ever see the DDM?  If not, I wonder if a DC12 or 22 can be imported here from Japan?  Even though Japan has different voltage (IIRC even less than the US, 100 volts or something like that), I was told it's just a matter of switching the DDM's control board out with one that *will* work.  But then that also adds the question on where and how to get a hold of one, and since DDM technology isn't currently in the US...

Both the DC24 and 25 look very tempting, and they're priced less than the DC15 which surprised me.  Assuming that both are improvements over the DC15 (which I hope they are), I wonder if prospective customers will know that they are better?

Hello,

I took some screen captures of the DC24 being demonstrated on Gizmodo.com and one enlarged, "exploded view" of the ball/housing.  The image hosting site I used removed some quality of the photos and so there not as good as I hoped.  View here.      DIB

  < It seems easy for Dyson to get good press.  More.

Doh! 'Beat me, I was just about to post the same image! It's the first that gives you an idea of it's size.
It's interesting to see the way PR works in this web world. For their video, Gizmodo much have had a hands-on with the machine at least a few days before the launch embargo.

I don't know about others but I'm guessing that the test team at Consumer Reports can't wait to get the DC24 and 25 in its sights.  It should be very interesting. 

CR has taken dyson head on for producing high priced vacuum products with more sizzle than substance.  The mommie and baby ball's precursors [the Ball DC15 and Slim DC18] are not among CR's favorites.  Quite the contrary.  The DC15 gets a poor rating for pet hair pick up and is called a waste of consumers' $500 by CR.  The DC18 Slim is heckled by CR in favor of the much better time tested $60 HOOVER Tempo.  Jaydee's new generation of mommie and baby ball vacuums are destined to be scrutinized closely by CR for function and performance.    Count on it.  Quite possibly as a result of the CR reviews the mommie and baby ball uprights could well be the laughing stock of the industry in the USA.  And win a reputation for jaydee as a brilliant inventor who can't tie his own shoes.

My,My,My, How Desperate Sir Jimmy and the Boy wonders in r&d have become,bringing back the ball [thats already a failure],and trying to fool the consumer into thinking it's something new.I Quess they had to find a place to unload all the wheels left over from the ballbarrow.They look like they need to do research in other markets,they should look into desinger underwear,and get out of the vacuum market,and stop embarrising themselves.
