Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson Japan

As a car aficionado you know it takes about 4 to 5 years to take a new vehicle from the desk to the dealer.  Even changes to an existing model can take as long as 2 years.  I mentioned here several years ago exclusively for your benefit that toyota was taking the fast track on new products.  Ignoring the industry practices and using computer graphics instead to shorten the life-cycle of product design and implementation to less than a year.  It's had its consequences.  Still, as you say, Lexus is a nice riding car.

I saw today that the DC26 is heading our way... USA that is... If that were the case then we would have the DC22, 23 and 26 canisters. Large, Medium and Small canisters which sound's purity good.

Hello Acerone and thanks for the update.  It appears the country info is from the British Allergy Foundation and its seal of approval.  Are you sure the info that the organization uses and publishes is accurate and up to date?

In concept...  I like the idea.

It sounds like the DC26 is now due to be launched in markets outside of Japan:-

BERLIN: Dyson has launched a new vacuum cleaner at the IFA 2009 trade fair in Berlin called the DC26 City which is so compact it sits on an A4 piece of paper and weighs just 3.5kg.

I really like the sound of this model, it might even convince me to buy a Dyson canister for the first time.

Around 800 bucks the last time price came up.

Sorry, but $800 is waaaay to expensive for this machine.  Even if it had DDM, I don't think a price above $550 would be reasonable, by Dyson standards anyway: however, without the DDM, $400 should be the price it is sold for.  Think about it, the DC26 is a DC31 with wheels and a hose, sans the DDM.  It should be priced comparably with the DC24.  If this machine does cross the pond with an $800 price tag, then why not jack up the MSRP of the DC24 to $700 (of course, I don't see this happening).  An $800 MSRP for the DC26 is too freaking much.  

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Dyson needs to pull an Apple, and open up concept stores for their products.  I believe consumers buying expensive higher-end goods demand an equally high-end buying experience as well, with product experts abound, product demonstrations, and an appealing sales floor environment that draws in the curious (that's why I go to the Apple store to buy my Mac stuff rather than Best-Buy or the late CompUSA).
