I'm not sure if Dyson is looking into engineering a more efficient battery as much as he is looking into creating a highly efficient electric car engine that produces zero carbon emisions.

Thank you iMacDaddy.

I agree with you.  Dyson scrubbed retooling/improving the DC16 save the motorized brush which more probably detracts from the existing 5-6 minute run time and costs $50 more.  Laughable.   

I recall the HSN launch of the DC16.  A half dozen of the DC16-s were used to perform the TV demo.  One stopped dead in the middle of the demo. They quickly went to another one to resume/complete the pick up process.

This got pushed to the back after some lengthy posts by HS.  I wanted to make sure you see it since you were kind enough to post the Forbes links about dyson.  I subscribed to Forbes years ago.  No more.  Not after father Forbes passed.  Steve Forbes, his son, is okay.  Not a good presidential candidate and politician.  But not like his Harley riding Dad.  May his soul rest in peace.

Any thoughts?  Please tell us which dyson you consider to be the signature model.  Thanks.

BTW, the ubend airway joint kow towed in importance by dyson fans:  Without it and in most cases it was missing and never made it out of the box, caused the DC07 not to have any suction in the tool mode.   Buck item.  Poor design and function.

I am amazed by your lies, Carmine.  From the time the DYSON DC07 was launched in the UK in 2000 up to today in 2008, the U-bend has always remained the same.  In addition to that, the DC07 has not been discontinued and neither has the DC14, or 15 for that matter.  The fact that there are now so many different models means that not all retailers are going to carry all models.  It was the DC07 after all, that built DYSON's reputation for superior cleaning ability.  The machine is considered bulletproof and is and will continue to be manufactured.  Independent DYSON dealers will likely carry it as an exclusive model, since it more than likely will not continue to be available at big-box stores.

There's 2 for 2.  By the way, the DC11 was not a "miserable failure" and is still being manufactured.  Only 4 DYSON models have been retired because none of them use Root Cyclone technology, they are just dual-cyclone machines.  All Root Cyclone DYSONS are still being manufactured. 

The only "miserable failure" I see here, well I see two of them.  One of them owns a vac shop selling bojack DYSON parts, and the other one is living out his last days in the desert

Go easy on Carmine.  There is a difference is telling a lie and speaking out of stupidity.

You're right.  A liar knows better.  A stupid person doesn't.  Unlike you, I am neither.  Do you know which you are?  Answer honestly.

Motor:

You were wrong on the ORECK stores.   You're wrong on the U bend airway joint on the first DC07-s launched here in the USA.  It was a detachable/attachable tube.  With a thumb tab.  Customers mistook the tab for a handle release.  Stepped on it.  It came off and most store staff didn't know how to attach.  The dyson manual was of no assistance.  When it was off, the dyson had no suction in the tool mode.

We have an expert here, Matt mmc [Airblade], who clarified this matter once before on a Forum.  He can do it again for you!  Matt would you like to chime in here and bail out one of your fans?

I hold in abeyance my responses to some of your other commentary until this is resolved.

Wrong on the Oreck stores?  Explain please.  9 times out of 10 with any store, the staff is overly friendly and enthusiastic due to being desperate for business.  And yes, I was the sole visitor on more than one occasion. 

As to the U-bend, it's not difficult to reattach at all (just snaps into place) and really tells me a thing or two about the IQ of sales floor staff...not DYSON's problem, but the problem of the bumbling morons working at Best Buy and other places.

Dyson was not meant to be for the mentally challenged like Carmine.  He needs something simple like Oreck.

My apology Carmine.  You are both.

Is this a riddle?
