Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson Japan

It sounds like the DC26 is now due to be launched in markets outside of Japan:-

BERLIN: Dyson has launched a new vacuum cleaner at the IFA 2009 trade fair in Berlin called the DC26 City which is so compact it sits on an A4 piece of paper and weighs just 3.5kg.

I really like the sound of this model, it might even convince me to buy a Dyson canister for the first time.

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.

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.
