Very nice DIB, thanks for sharing.  I anxiously await the arrival of the DC22...definitely nothing wrong with the improved low-profile Motorhead.  Not that the DC21's was that big, but this will make getting under furniture and getting the rug clean underneath even easier than it already was, and that's saying a lot! 

Nice close ups, thank you DIB for sharing the pictures. I bet the motor head on this DC22 is simular to the ones used on the DC24/DC25 using one complete brush bar and powered at one end!

Trilobite,

It seems the DC22 “Baby” and DC23 have been abandoned at birth.  You’re right, there is no good information of the filtration to be found at the Dyson UK site.  The DC22 press release praises the filtration capabilities, although the web site is lacking badly.  Is keeping potential consumers in the dark a strategy?  If the DC22 is praised to much (Dyson's greatest filtration to date) perhaps it will hurt with the selling off the older DC19, 20 and 21’s?  It looks like Dyson may have may have to much inventory of these older cylinders.        DIB

Hello Mole:

I was wondering the same on both:  What happened to the dyson baby cann and what is the target market?

Having looked at the DC22 (and the DC23) in a shop and picked it up etc... this is heavier (feels heavier) than the DC05 canister (now discontinued in the UK!) and looks bigger too!  I wonder if the DC22 is bigger than the DC12 Japan model!  I think the DC05 should have been named 'Dyson Baby'!  Probably due to the bigger bin and cyclone top with root and core technology makes the DC22 look bigger!  Still a very small compact powerful machine!

DC18,

Hello, I hear the DC22 is a middle size between the DC05 and DC21.  The DC05 is small sitting next to a DC21 (by about 20-30% smaller).  I believe the DC12 would of made a great dealer exclusive and should have been here in the U.S. long ago.  In terms of size-to-power technologies it has no competitors (that I am aware of), it is radically unique and could not be undercut by retailers.  Removing the phone-home capabilities may or may not be necessary for it to be a success here.  Sell it as is, a straight suction machine.        DIB

 

P.S.  Dyson had the “Baby” trademarked for the DC12 in other countries.  Agreed, "Baby" for the DC22 is a bit of a stretch.
