I couldnt agree more.....nothing about it says more.....period. $700 worth of what is where...no kiss on this one....wonder how many are gonna line up to get the shaft on this one. Where does this unit kill the pansc/fb1..is it the massive airflow/suction of the 26? a cannister for a small living space ...indeed.....looking forward to seeing it go head to head with the rest. turtle
The FB1 is a nice buy with nice features for $109.

Hi Carmine, This is so much the reason why decent performing but less expensive vacuums are needed. Indeed, let's not think narrow -mindedly. There should be expensive, gold plated cleaning macvhines for those that have the wherewithal to drop nice amounts of cash without feeling much pain. But those finding themselves with less and less fun money, despite goverrnment give-aways and so-called incentives, will find no relief by way of our local utility supplier, the landlord, the supermarket or at the gas pump. Less expensive vacuums like the Navigaator and such, that offer at least a few years warranty time are going to start looking really good again. Venson
Hi Venson:
If it were gold plated at $700, I would be tempted to buy. Gold is $1200 plus an ounce now. It would be worth that price as an investment in precious metals not precious vacuums. Carmine D.

Thanks Carmine for the 26 news. Any word on the weight of this thing?
Hi Acerone:
According to the dyson web site it weighs in at a lean mean 12 pounds with 160 air watts.......BUT I supect this is without the hose, wand and power tool attached on board. These accessories will easily add a few more pounds for hauling around. Still at this weight even with the accoutrements DC26 qualifies as a compact and/or mini-canister.
