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).

I agree I mac,

This machine would have a fighting chance at 300.00 to 350.00.But at 800.00 its a HARDSELL ,what is dyson offering for the 8 beans? a trip to dysonworld headquarters.

Please tell the pricemakers at dyson to get their act together.Its hard enough to crack the high end market but at least give them a high end machine.

Better to buy an ounce of gold at that price.  And dyson ain't gold.  Not even nickel.

Now, now MOLE - lets be generous. You know with the exchange rate being what it is and shipping costs being what they are plus all the money being pumped into the pockets of already over-paid factory laborers that it's a steal at that price.

These have just been released in Spain priced 399€. We had been mulling over which to buy and saw this yesterday.
SOLD! Why would you want anything else bigger?

Here are the specifications in the same format as the other products on the Dyson site (took me a few Google translations of the Japan site and a UK phonecall to source):

Patented cyclone technology : Root Cyclone™ technology core separator
Delivery : -
Suction power : 165 AW
Movement type : Fixed wheel
Filtration : Lifetime HEPA
Cleaner head : Mini Flat Out™ head
Stair cleaning : Sits on stairs
Bin capacity : 0.65 litres Clear bin™
Tools / accessories :
* Crevice tool
* Stair tool
* Brush tool
Dimensions : 266x320x205mm(HxDxW)
Max. reach : 8.6 metres
Cord length : 5 metres
Weight : 3.22 kg (5.62 kg)

I think that this is all - any corrections welcome. Note that the Japanese site does not contain the Power rating.
