Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson Japan

Dyson today took the wraps off compact versions of some of its vacuum cleaners that are specifically tailored to fit the smaller Japanese homes [JP]. Chairman James Dyson said in Tokyo although the vacuums are Japan-only at this point, they may be eventually made available in other markets as well.

All three versions of the DC26 (DC26 motorhead complete/turbinhead complete/turbinhead entry) have strange names and are around 30% smaller than base models. Sized at just 205×320×266mm, they are comparable in size to a sheet of paper in A4.

The turbinhead entry costs $750, while the turbinhead complete costs $820. Buyers of the high-end model, the DC26 motorhead complete (pictured above), will be set back $900 when the vacuums hit Japanese stores on April 10. Dyson expects to sell 250,000 units a year.

Ace,
Well done!  Can you post a link to this interview and/or launch event?

Acerone thanks for the post, they are small!  I though the DC12 and DC22 was small, now the DC26 is 'small'!!  I did wonder what the DC26 would be havinf seen the DC27!  Do we know if these have the DDM in them?  I wouldn't mind one of these!   The trick now is to get the core technology into this size vacuum on top of the root technology!

I did some searching and found the below link with some pictures over 3 pages, one which I've posted below!  New power head too!  Just shows how small it is!  Smaller than the DC12 do we think!

Now I know what at least one former Forbes billionaire is doing in his spare time.  Modeling in picture shoots with his vacuums!
