Hello Venson: Thanks. I don't buy into the dyson drivel. Couple of things I noted: First, no prices indicated. Second, no mention of the launch of the baby dysons in the USA at the VDTA next month. Why? The jaydee of years past would have publicized the dyson USA launch at least one month in advance and more likely months in advance. In the USA the baby dysons may do okay depending on the price. Jaydee's philosophy is mark them up as high as possible. DC18, a lite version of the dyson uprights, for $469. BBB and LNT have it right. They typically sell the DC18 for 20 percent off or about $100. Still despite Airblade's mention years ago that this practice upsets dyson not to mention the retailers who take it on the chin with the dyson MAP. $369 should be the retail for the DC18 before discounts. Look at the DC16 for $149. A joke. Baby dysons should also be baby prices not full prices. But knowing dyson, if and when they come to the US, dyson will mark them up too high. Even in the best of economic times, US consumers wouldn't give them a second look at the high prices. Compound the situation with a recession, and vacuum buyers will think: What is dyson thinking?

Hey Guys: Nice pics! Really. How about one with the Ball, Slim, Mommie and baby dyson ball models? Showing the evolution of the ball technolgy by dyson. And if you are really energetic and resourceful, the major features: Like year of launch, Price, Cord length, Weight, and Dimensions and maybe Air Watts. With the assumption that the new dyson baby ball models: Mommie and baby will make it to the USA sometime soon. And price estimates on the baby ball dysons based on the UK amounts. Just a thought from a non-dyson fan to consider for the Forum readers. Carmine D.

How about the warranty? Hows the parts availability? is the customer service line up to snuff? Will consumer reports like it? It should be priced at about $179.00,to $199.00,to compete with the other box store cleaners. MOLE |

Hi Mole, I think "baby" will run more in the area of $250. If Dyson released a hand vacuum at $150 -- which should have priced at $75.00 all things including its novety toy aspect considered -- and still wants it, I don't think it will price this new model which to my mind is a basically a stick vac, at a reasonable amount either. Does "baby" have tools? Venson
Not sure about the tools.I would hope so though.
Does baby got tools......... Maybe but babys got back,one of my favorite songs from Sir MIX A LOT. MOLE GO NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS..............

< DC24 & DC15 side by side. For those who do not "Nail Their Dyson's To The Ground", enjoy.
