When you say 'small, DC05-like', the DC05 was just a standard-size canister...less bulky than the DC02, but not as compact as the DC08/DC08T. The DC22 is only 2/3rds the size of a full-size model, like the DC24 compared to the DC25. I'm actually surprised they're selling this model in the US at all - and that's one heck of a pricetag! I hope the US market feels it's getting enough 'suck for it's buck'...

I have a DC05 and would say it is compact compared to the original DC02 and later models DC08\DC08TW, DC19\DC20 and DC21.  The hose deoesn't wrap again the wand is not as compact but it is smaller and lighter.  That was I believe one of the specifications behind the DC05, compact!

At the time the DC05 was sold, it was Dyson's only canister in the range, wasn't it? What I mean is, the DC22 comes in a line-up of 5(?) canisters, and is the smallest of the lot. I think, although I have not compared the two side-by-side, smaller than the DC05?

It's...  small.

I'm confused...how can those 'Turbinehead' models have 'fingertip brush control'?

Wow, switching to the Japanese site...the Japanese have the option of the DC22 DDM Motorhead, the DC22 Motorhead (without the DDM), the DC22 DDM Turbinehead, the DC22 Turbinehead (without the DDM), AND the DC12 Plus Turbinehead (presumably with the DDM?).

What a headache! Why so many similar models?!

Here are some nice shots...

I couldn't get that link to work, but if you put in http://shop.earlyadopter.co.kr/  , then enter 'DC22' into the search bar, it takes you to the pictures. Great photos btw - I wish all sites were as well-illustrated as that! No matter I can't read Korean (??), I can tell what's going on!

This year's VDTA so far has gotten no local TV coverage.  First time in recent years that this is the case.  Tho, forecasts say 4,000 attendeees are expected, I think they missed the mark by quite abit.  Several persons I know who in the past got tickets from their local employers to scope out the VDTA didn't this year.  No doubt a result of money and perk cutbacks, down sizing and the current economic hard times.

Sorry if I can't buy into this "Benefit....(Lie/Fable?". How long will this be EXCLUSIVE to dealers? before Wallyworld & QVC & Internet Whorehouses hold up a carrot and Dyson sells them (the dealers) out? Like most executive decisions they come TOO late. As far as getting back in favor with the Independent Dealer, the backbone of the industry, I'm pretty sure that horse has LONG left the barn. Unless they can almost guarantee VERY large markups I doubt dealers will respond after getting burned so badly.

If Dyson ever wants a business model of how a company can be run with dignity, honor and respect for it's agents and customers, they should look into Tacony/Riccar/Simplicity.
