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?

It shows it's construction looking a lot more simplified.

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.

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.

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?

Moose, I'm impressed!  I’m pretty sure this link/code came from the slide show I took my pic from.  If so, how did you do it or could you link me a tutorial if not to much trouble?  Many thanks.        DIB

Hi DIB,

This is probably the best picture of the DC24 by far...side-by-side with the DC15 which IMO seems to be the best comparison.  The DC24 must be quite small in reality, because we all know the DC15 isn't much bigger than the DC07.  I like how it retained the same basic design of the DC15, but simplified slightly and with a few improvements like the center suction channel in the nozzle.  Now I'm anxious to see a real-life shot of the DC25.

Hi Venson,

I thought the same thing, that it resembled a stick vac or one of those "mini-sweepers" in a way.  While it's a small machine it's definitely not a stick vac, and it does have tools (in fact you can see the brush peeking out in the high-res photo).  I can't imagine a Dyson without attachments or the ability to do above-floor cleaning, it would go directly against their marketing for one machine to do all.  The reason for the DC24, or so I heard, is to counter Oreck's negative ads about the Dyson.  It's 4 pounds heavier than the Oreck, but this one would give the added advantage of having the attachments right there, instead of having to grab a separate minicanister to do above-floor cleaning.
