~ The DDM DC22 (TurboHead & MotorHead) arrives in the U.S. ~
James Dyson and his team invent another revolutionary vacuum and invent another Dyson only market segment.
 - Pre-motor filter to be washed once every seven years.
- The on/off button lights red when it's time to clean pre-motor filter.
- The pre-motor filter is large and fits AROUND the motor.
 - The DDM is extremely powerful.
- The DDM can/will outlast its user.
- The DDM automatically shuts off when airflow is interrupted for more than 10 seconds.
- The Hepa filter AFTER the motor will never turn black with carbon dust and never needs attention.
- Controls are in the hose handle.
- A DC05 MotorHead-like power nozzle. Telescopic wand.
- A very cool bare floor nozzle, and very cool full sized attachments (which store on the hose).
Update... - Exclusive: Patented Dyson Digital Motor, very powerful!, unique and strong sounding. Should/could last a lifetime (your lifetime).
- Exclusive: Little or possibly no pre-filter maintenance if bin is emptied as recommended.
- Exclusive: Patented Telescopic Wand: Lightweight, plastic, very strong.
- Exclusive: Filtration - Core + Root Technology, w/ 21 high efficiency cyclones.
- Motor burn out: If airflow is cut off, if pre-filter clogs (prematurely or after many, many years of use) - motor shuts down and a signal light illuminates.
- Size: Small, DC05 - like. Compacts down via the patented TW.
- Controls: In handle, power on/off, hi/lo speeds, brush on/off.
- Retail: $799. Sold exclusively through independent Dyson dealers where the vacuum can be properly demonstrated and it’s benefits explained.

The DDM DC22 is the best kept vacuum secret on the US vacuum market so far. After the dyson intor at the VDTA, the DDM DC22 should have been launched. Not yet? Dyson is having a problem here getting the launch off. It's stalled in the gate. Carmine D.
I would imagine that the indy only dc22 is being watched CLOSELY by the bean counters at the box accounts, Lets face it its really a premium priced piece competing with MIELE, RICCAR, bosch,and even some D.T.D. machines.
There is no guarantee that it will take off,even at the dyson faithful indy stores. It will be marketed by the box stores at wholesale and the indys get screwed again. NOTHING NEW GOING ON HERE,MY FRIENDS. REGARDS MOLE

Are you unhappy with the steering on the S7? It has a lot of steering slop... is this slop a drawback for you?<BR><BR>DIB
Hi DIB, I'm as happy as can be with my Tango -- looks mighty pretty and works darn good. As for steering, that's the least of my concerns. It's cleaning ability that is my main concern. The "steering" is nice in that I find it useful in tight spaces. If I need to turn 90-degrees or whatever this way or that all that's required is a twist of the wrist. I clean as I go. If I'm doing an area of floor and want to tend to nearby shelves or window sills, etc., the hose whips right out and tools are in easy reach. Task done, I put the hose in place again and the snap the attachment back onto the body of the cleaner. The S7's swivel has enhanced my manner of cleaning in that where I'd usually swing an entire upright around for a change of direction or to move in closer to walls or heavy objects there is now less effort.

Venson Hello Venson, Glad to hear steering has benefits for you too. Changing directions is a bonus over the 1884 sweeper (vacuuming) way. FYI, your vacuum sacrifices pick-up for steering and is more Dyson-like than you realize or care to admit. DIB

Ignore his ridiculous remarks.</p><p>The UK consumer magazine, "Which?", gave the Miele S7 a glowing report. Excellent pick-up performance over various floor types, and quieter than the Dysons too.
Hiya Trilobite, How are you? I know, I know. I only asked because I've been in need of cause for a little humor lately. Best, Venson

Hiya Trilobite,

Best,
Venson
Not bad at all, thank you. How are you, yourself?
How do you find the Miele? Is it easy to manoeuvre? Does it follow a straight line as you push it forward? Does it raise the carpet pile properly, like the old Hoovers did? Although I don't possess an S7, the thing that appeals to me most is the variable suction control. I don't understand why the likes of Hoover UK and Electrolux make powerful uprights
that can't have their power turned down for delicate materials. There aren't even any suction / air-bleed regulators. The only other upright that I've recently seen was a
Morphy Richards, but they don't get a good report. I've been watching the forum for a little while. Some of the humour here is dry to say the least; almost bordering upon the acidic.
