The Dyson DC22 canister was very recently introduced in Japan. I have heard that this will make it to the US market in order to expand their canister range.

Key Features:

-Root Cyclone with Core Separation
-Dyson Digital Motor
-Stowaway Design
-Motorhead

Yes, indeed.  Those that were last in line for the life boats, didn't make it. 

They went down with the ship.

Well  Mr.Hardsell    we at the shop have used it in every way..full clean-ups ..clean-outs..spring cleaning....

repair room clean-ups 5 different people at various times during the day....months at a time...torture tests out back..

.dumping customers full bags onto various types of carpet and surfaces....pushed to the limit....and back....

weve done this on quite a few vacs over the years.....so our testing at the shop is fair ....and accurate...

how it performs and maintanence to keep it up to par determines if it gets ordered for the shop or not...

and at times they do come home with us after a full service claen-up.....thats one way its done.

NEXT- CONSUMER REPORTS

NEXT-the dyson owner ....what they like/dislike...changes?....gripes about the CSR....long hold times....to unanswered questions.

abt 1 in 5 like or love their dyson.....the rest dump it for another brand.

NEXT- other owner/operators...what they think....and why...what do their dyson customers have to say...ect.

shops make money in different ways...we service and maintain alot of comm. eqip..

..from carpet servcs to cleaning servcs...city and county contracts...in addition to sales -service-parts....to the public and city/county.

ORECK-as i have stated before...i do feel they are priced out of reach on the platinum series....no vacuum is worth $800..period.

orecks have stood the test of time and proven themselves to be one of the most reliable/durable vacuums ever made....well worth $200-400

never have i ever heard a customer complain about them....not to me anyway.

DYSON-if nobody wants them or wants to touch them...for whatever reason....its all freedom of choice...thats all that matters.  once a choice

is made based on all of the above info....as a whole....its then up to the owner of the shop to express his or her freedom of choice and opinion

on what they feel is the overall better vacuum for the store....best bang for the buck./reliability/durability.....branding....gen. feedback.

All in all it is what it is...freedom of choice/opinion....i dislike all bagless vacs ever made....you may not....i love RICCAR/PANASONIC .

..but i wont pay $500....im sure you could trash them all day long.....but i like what i like....and its your opinion...and i respect it....

.i once had a dyson given to me...a dc-7.....used it a couple months....not happy or impressed...so i gave it away..

.one mans trash is another mans treasure.  im sure most if not all of you have far more exp. than i.....ive learned from all of you

....even you HARDSELL....all our comments are  from OUR first hand exp....our opinions....but nomatter who you are or what you make

a $100 vacuum shouldnt last as long -outperform -an $800 vacuum for any reason.....and if a hoover tempo can take on a $800 dyson then its

dyson that needs to possibly rethink or  redo things..cause somethings not working....this goes for any $800 vacuum.....just my opinion. and

thank you for you time - patience and respect   MR.HARDSELL.

Hello "turtle1"

Thanks for the info.  Your commentary is much the same as I hear from

others in the vacuum biz. 

How long has the store/shop been in buisness?

Hello turtle1:

It sounds like a very good vacuum business.  The owner, from what you say, sounds like a remarkable person

and professional business man.  Thanks for the information.

When I sold my buz in 1992, it was to a former KIRBY dealer.  He's still there in the same location I opened in 1949.

It's a town landmark and featured in the local newspapers.

Age is relative, especially in Las Vegas.  I'm as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth.

Abraham was 99.  HIs wife Sarah was 90.  Thet had their son Isaac.
