Hi DIB,

I'd say the hose is electrified to power the controls, even though you did mention it has an air-driven nozzle.  But I wonder if a motorized power nozzle would work.

Just a guess.

Motorhead,

 

In comparing the two canisters, (Japanese and UK photos) they almost look identical.  Only upon close inspection do you see slightly different wands and hoses.  The nozzles look the same on both photos.  Is not having a power nozzle in the UK a good thing?        DIB

So no Digital Motor used in the latest models?

I was just going to say no DDM in any of the new models by the looks of it!  Looking at the price points of the UK versions of the DC22 Baby Dyson the DDM and power nozzle does not look like they are on this model or that would push the price point up!  They are both cheaper than the DC21 (UK) model!

The DC22 baby cann might have some appeal here in the USA.  Price and performance are the keys to success.  CR will take the baby dyson cann through the obstacle cleaning courses and report the results.  Let's wait to see what CR says before it is declared a vacuum icon for the ages [like some of its predecessors].  Timing is everything.  It may be too late for dyson to capture the baby cann market in the USA except among jaydee fans.

For those who are not tormented with Dyson-Jealousy, enjoy.        DIB

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
