~ 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.

Looks like it may do: 
Don't forget, the Dyson Constant Max commercial upright had a filter-wash overdue indicator:

 This is the one used in most of the press photos of the DC22
A question for anyone who knows and is willing to share the answer here: If I'm looking at the front of this P/N, which way does the revolving brush turn during normal operations: Towards me and away from the user and the vacuum? Or, away from me and toward the user and the vacuum? Thanks in advance for the consideration/answer to my question.

The rear of the brushroll turns upwards, away from the carpet, if that makes sense. Same as in a Hoover, for example. The only machines I'm aware of which used a brush-roll which revolved in the opposite direction were the Singer R-series, Premier Grand, General Electric Model 111 and the Apex Model 35/Vactric Airflo of the 1930s. The advantage this offered was that you could vacuum right to the very edge of an area rug, without it being pulled into the nozzle of the machine.
Forgive the rough illustration!

Pretty impressed with collection bag technology are we?
DIB 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? Carmine D. Talking and thinking about old collection bag technologies (including the 10 yr. old 3M Filtrete), I find quite boring. DIB

DIB Really? How illogical and inconsistent for you to say that after all your interest and inquiries into 100 old vacuum inventors and inventions. Carmine D. Not at all. Celebrating the birth of invention and their inventors is a recognition not a recommendation. I would not recommend using antiquated products or methods when [better] newer products and methods are available. DIB

As I recall, most of the best filter paper bag/cloth technologies are newer than dyson's bagless cyclonic vacuum technology. Dyson literature claims it's technology dates back 30 years. Granted that dyson's bagless products and its less expensive knock-offs were in some [small/large] part responsible for the better and more innovative bagged technologies that are available and marketed now in the vacuum industry. But that is true of all product innovations and refinements. Competition is a wonderful incentive for making consumer products better and less expensive. Doesn't sound boring at all. Quite the opposite. Business leaders applying the latest and greatest in scientific technology to make consumer household products better, less costly, more user friendly, less time consuming, and environmentally more healthy and friendly.
