Not to highjack this thread but the internet and ebay are killing the dyson dealers and box stores, Can you justify the 2 to 3 hundred dollar price difference between the legit dealers and the bootleggers on line?Dont give me the B.S. story about yours are first run machines and come with the factory warranty intact.
That story is getting real OLD,
DYSON better start looking at $150.00 and under market, after all thats all any of their JUNK is really worth

Hiya MOLE, I won't cast aspersions on the Dyson name but it and many other high-cost brands can definitely be found on eBay. Whatever the worth, people are not looking to get skinned in the attempt to have something decent. Most of these are the genuine article -- meaning legally acquired -- and sold by reputable eBay vendors whose feedback can be easily checked in regard to customer satisfaction. That's good enough for me. If anything is in question, it's why I can't simply walk down the block and find the same priced as reasonably. Venson

Venson/MOLE:
As pointed out by several posters here, DC07 and DC14 prices are going to have to come crashing down [with their discontinuance] on the new/used vacuum market. When their prices do, so will all the new/used dyson upright prices on the USA market. Compounded by the bad economic conditions and lackluster sales. Carmine D.

Hi Carmine, Dont you think its about time they come down to earth and come out of the denial that they been in? Of course with the prices bottoming out, the propoganda and fancy advertising will come thankfully to a end. You got to admit they milked it and the public for all they could. GOOD BY JIMMY/ AND D.I.B. go tell your story to the japanese.......... regards mole |

Hi MOLE:
Truth be told, and sooner or later it is, dyson's best sales years in dollars and units were 2005/6. Despite all the hullabaloo here since 2005/6 by dyson cheerleaders about the latest in vacuum features and technology [pause for a short period of guffaws and coughing]..........................................................., its been all down hill for James and dyson since. Dyson is and always will be a niche player in the USA vacuum market, if it survives. Carmine D.

This is something I have studied for some time... They're are two primary groups selling Dyson's on eBay... 1) Authorized dealers and 2) Thieves. I have posted many police blotters, news - online stories, news - video and surveillance video detailing Dyson thefts. Saying something over and over does not make it true, bellying up and proving-something-out makes it true. DIB

The spring is shown on the schematic, #8 on the left hand side. From memory (I'm at home) I believe it was attached fro the body to the floating brush head. By doing this it eliminates the problem the DC07 had with the sole plate not always making full contact with the floor.
Maneuvering definitely has a place in the vacuum industry. I will agree that the Dyson pn is by far the most steerable, the Sebo shown isn't bad but pales in comparison to either the Wessell Werk or Riccar powerheads. I'd give these two a close runner up to the Dyson. The Ball uprights certainly are maneuverable but the also aren't for everyone. I have seen people with bad wrists or shoulders struggle with the steering aspect. It would be nice to see Dyson bring the handle weight of these machines down a little bit, it would certainly make ease of use better.
As far as the DC22 nozzle goes, I can see where it would have it's fans and also it's detractors. In our area, where house prices have gone thru the roof the trend is toward condos which also means less square footage, tighter living areas and less storage. Small machines are a good seller for us but there are still customers who want smaller and smaller with a powerhead would be even better. We'll see what happens when the machines hit the market here and what price they come in at.
Dusty Dusty, Dyson Ball: There are few products that are all things to all people for sure. The Dyson Ball is a huge break-thru product that answers a problem other manufacturers *failed to answer. And it turns better than anything on the planet! I was told many times... the DC18 Slim sells itself. The Slim commercial sold the vacuum and it never suctioned up a single thing. People want better lives and Dyson delivered and is being rewarded monetarily. FYI, Dyson has a patent application that addresses the inability for Dyson Ball vacuums to lay prone/near prone. The patent does not claim any prone/near prone abilities but the illustrations do. The stabilizer wheels collapse forward and out of the way. DC22 steering: I was challenged here to look closer at the DDM Motorhead nozzle. After viewing video of the turning abilities, it is a winner and stands alone. But, I have yet to see this Wessell Werk or Riccar powerheads, I’d like to see em, I’d appreciate it if could point me to an illustration, etc.. If this nozzle (9” to 11”) were place on other (less expensive) Dyson canisters I’d think they would sell very well based on the Slim and Dyson Ball sales. I too, see this vacuum being desired by those in smaller homes, condos and apartments. DC27: I missed the spring. Thank you. I watched the DC14 and/or DC07 demonstrated on HSN long ago and knew then that the front of the nozzle lifted on the pull back stroke (after running the clip back frame-by-frame) not good for suctioning to say the least, although it maybe was due to a fast pulling back, but I’m not sure. The spring is a cheap N fast fix. The DC27 carrying handle looks like it’s the lowest in his full size category. Now Dyson has 3 vacuums in 3 categories that can be carried easily/easier and/or carried upstairs easily/easier than before. DIB * There are a few patents on so-called steerable, but the suffer with much NOTHING that reacts (nozzle reacts) in concert to wrist turn as the Dyson.

Hi DIB
Interesting to hear Dyson is looking at the issue with the ball vacuums inability to lay prone! Sounds interesting the stabilizer wheels collapse forward, look forward to seeing that invention! Can the illustration be viewed? Now the original DC01 used a rubber piece (very small) on the pivoting soleplate to make sure it said in contact with the floor! Like an elastic band effect! I have to say the very first DC01 that didn't have a pivoting soleplate performed better I think in terms of cleaning performance! The pivoting soleplate on the DC01 was not seal so well as they are now so some of the suction was lost I think (from experience of both types). DC18
