The radical - Dyson, DDM DC22 to launch at VDTA. Pre-filter maintence schedule date - yr. 2016.
Original Message   Mar 7, 2009 4:21 pm
~ 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.

Thanks for that groundbreaking insight.

Your welcome.

IT looks like its time to start stocking up on dc22, parts of course we will have to order them 6 months in advance  so the dyson minions will have the trolls make them  in that red country that uses slave labor.
Lets see wand clips,canister rear wheels,powerhead elbows wand wires,cords and cordwinder parts,front castors, hose handles,brush rollers and dont forget the agitator bearings that last about 4 months, and O yeah the famous dyson timing belt,

Please tell me if i missed anything............

That would explain it then! Although nobody's yet managed to explain to me this Argos catalogue page from about 2 years ago...Notice it includes the DDM as one of it's features; if what you're saying is correct, we don't have, and have never had, a UK market cleaner which uses the DDM. So why were Dyson using it as a selling point for the DC08? Isn't it rather misleading?

I haven't yet had a chance to try out the DC22, so I can't really comment on the filter-wash period. It's a big claim; I hope it lives up to it! If it does, I hope we see the technology used on the rest of Dyson's range. It would go a long way to improving ease of use!

I've seen DC22 adverts w/ PN's (Motorheads) advertised in the UK, when it is not the case.  I do not believe it's intentional, but rather a [graphic artist] mistake.  Agreed, it is a "big claim".  I would add it's a huge statement and a huge advantage over the entire [global] industry.        DIB

I'm in the UK and I've never seen the DC22 shown with a Motorhead - could you post a pic here? I've only seen the DC22 shown with these two Turbine Heads:

 This one's the one it's shown with on the Dyson site - same as the one used on the DC12

 This is the one used in most of the press photos of the DC22

Not one DDM DC22 has been sold here in the U.S. and you have it falling apart already.

I think it's amazon.co.uk who have used those pictures, and possibly some others - that's what threw me. Since the specifications were correctly described as 'Turbine head', I assumed this was a new design! Looking closer, I see you're right, it is a powernozzle.

Since you ask, yes I am.  The reason in part all the top tier vacuums [not over-priced] here and abroad use quality paper/cloth bags like allergen, HEPA, and 3M.  Are you?

By the way, how does the UK's Dyson 23 fit into the picture?

It's very similar to the DC21 Motorhead, but about £50 cheaper, and better designed. It also has the Core Separator, which the DC21 doesn't. However, the DC21 is still the premium-priced product. I don't really understand why! Dyson pricing can be confusing; for instance, in electrical, electronic and white-goods store Currys, they're selling the last of the remaining DC15 Animals for £390, but offering the DC25 Animal - similar product but better in every way - for £299! Go figure....

I think Dyson are falling into the trap Hoover did in the 1970s of making their line-ups way too complicated. Britain doesn't need 2 Motorhead models, especially as powernozzle canisters have never, never been big sellers in the UK.

(As I wrote this, I glanced out the window to see our next-door neighbour cleaning her car with a DC20 Allergy!)
