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!

and banded shirt collar.  Really!  Talk about retro look.

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.

I am sure you would know about corporate dress code.  Which corporation did you work for?  I forgot.

The guy looked sharp.  Although he probably had more suits onboard his jet.        DIB

From 1992 until I retired in 2006, I was a consultant to industry and government on all matters related to vacuums.  Dress was important to me as well as to them.  If I walked into a Board room meeting, I dressed accordingly.  If I walked onto the factory floor, and into the break out area to mingle, I did the same.  Know your clients and customers and meet them on their level, including dress. 

How soon you forget.

DC18,

I had no idea Dyson had hose extensions available.  I have never seen hose extensions on Dyson’s web sites in the past.  Were they similar (thick heavy connectors and spring) to the hose that comes on Dyson vacuums or where they more lightweight (better for dusting)?  Fantom hose extensions looked identical or near identical to the hose on the vacuum except (of course) one end had a male fitting.  Thanks.        DIB
