Hi all, There was a post a while back estimating the selling of the "ball-ette", the DC 24, and I responded that I felt Dyson would price this mini machine at a higher $250.00 -- even though Miele and Emer ask as high as $350 on their stick vacs. Apologies to all, was I ever wrong. Per the online shop at Dyson's website the DC 24, to be released March 10th, the cost on an advance order is $399.00. I also noted that the handheld "Animal" -- the Root 6 with an added-on motorized brush is set at a going price of $200.00. http://www.dyson.com/store/productmodel.asp?model=DC16 Venson

The result we have yet to see, but I think James' main goal with the DC24 was to design a machine that's lightweight but packs a good amount of power in a small package (and of course doesn't lose power). Not to mention the added advantage of above-floor cleaning. Looks can be very deceiving on many levels. I was blown away when someone told me that the DC18 (yes, the Slim!) is a favorite of ladies who clean houses professionally...

Hi MH,
Are we talking women who indepentdently buy and use vacuums for their own home cleaning services or women who work in the home as either live-ins or dayworkers? How did he or she form this opinion? I'd hope your friend's estimation is correct. If it is, it would more likely apply to women in the home cleaning business. Both a large portion of dayworkers and live-ins, who usually don't qualify as technicians, worry more over proper pay than the vacuum supplied. Venson
