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).

mole, you ain't gonna believe this. At $800 you should get a trip to Disney Land to meet the other Goofy. Better to buy an ounce of gold at that price. And dyson ain't gold. Not even nickel.

Around 800 bucks the last time price came up.
Venxon NO WAY.....for that? ....talk about the dyson shaft and no kiss.
But no doubt the dyson groupies/collectors will line up for another session with james.

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.

If my conversion from Euros to dollars is correct the 399 Euros equates to $590 US. Down from the $800 price previously announced/posted here. The price decline can be due as much to the weakening dollar as fall off in consumer buying and spending. Especially for pricey household items that are nice to have but unessential to life. If I recall, a poster criticized the smallish bin capacity on the VAX lightweight upright at 1.5 liters. This DC has a .65 liter dirt bin capacity, less than half the VAX size, and yet almost 2 times if not more than the likely price of the VAX upright. Teenzie weenzie is cutzie wootzie right up until the times you have to dance the dirt bin dump shuffle every 10 minutes. Not to mention all the required filter maintenance with a half pint sized vacuum with165 AW of power. The two, baby suction power and baby dirt bin, will keep the buyers/users of these baby dysons up close and personal with their vacuuming needs. There's reasons these dysons are called 'baby.' Obviously not because of the price. More in terms of needed attention and TLC. BTW, the VAX lightweight upright has 200 AW of power. Comparable to a full size vacuum. Carmine D.
