I posted this picture only because I saw an earlier picture (from an online magazine) of a woman testing a DC24 and holding the vacuum above the floor (at her hip), just only so she could get enough reach to vacuum at ceiling height. – She was doing it incorrectly.  Remarkably, Dyson himself shows the proper way of using a hose and wand on the DC24 with its far reaching ability.  Well done!        DIB

Thanks again for the photos, it does appear to be a user access port to get to the filter.

The photo of the cleaner next to James Dyson, makes the cleaner look like a child's toy.

I was wondering about the suction power rating for the DC24. It is supposed to be 100 airWatts. Would I be correct in thinking that lesser suction power excerts lower gravitational forces upon the dust particles, thus allowing more dust through to contaminate the pre-motor filters?

I wonder what electrical wattage the motor is, in this cleaner?

DIB:

Looking at James Dyson using the tools above the floor, the hose looks to be fully stretched, and a little on the short side. No use for cleaning a staircase.

Aha!!!

Just checked Currys.co.uk.

DC24 has 650 Watt motor, generating, apparently, 120 air Watts of suction power.

DC03 had a 700 Watt motor, achieving around 90 air Watts suction power.

I believe the DC24 has been designed for apartments and flats and small houses.  With the DC24 being small and lite in a small hoise cleaning the stairs th euser would have to hold/rest the vacuum on the stairs and they vacuum with the hose.   I had the same issue with the DC15 as the hose on that is smaller in length to the other models (DC04/07/14) which when I spoke to Dyson (UK) helpline they sent me out a flexible hose extension to solve this issue!

Hello HS:

Ah but those old vacuums are classics.

As a high ranking retired exec of a Fortune 500, you can appreciate the importance of maintaining the proper business attire for your prospective clientele.  The Japanese business men are very conventional in their dress.  Suits, shirts, preferably white, with ties. 

I like jaydee's use of the banded collar white shirt.  However to attain a more classic business look, he should have combined the banded collar with a traditional single/double breasted suit.  Then he has the business professional look by buttoning the collar without the need for wearing a tie.  My preference in fact to the conventional shirt and tie for almost 20 years.  Then removing the jacket and unbottoning the collar allows him to become casual dress without the need to change clothes.  Excellent for those dress down/casual Fridays when you have a morning meeting with the CEO, CFO, and/or COO.  But still want to have lunch at the local favorite place and toss down a couple of cold ones with the rank and file.
