It’s not a bookend, it’s a trophy--it represents victory!  Japan is full of mini choke-fast vacuums, so dismissing the [mini] Dyson City DC26 with it’s exclusive hard-to-choke technologies is pure stupidity.

The interesting historical perspective of the last 100 years in the vacuum industry is that the baby/ junior vacuums,[ sticks and hand vacs excluded],  that were successful always had dirt capacities comparable to their full size counterparts.  IMHO, this feature gave them the acceptance and recognition by users/buyers to make them contenders and winners.  ORECK learned this lesson too with its 8 pound lightweight.  Others followed suit.

Anyone remember Model2?  He's the UK collector, historian and enthusiast Cameron burnt out (here).  He has lots of pics, thoughts and videos on his blog.  He has the Dyson City DC26 there too.

As the saying goes, if you play with fire, you are liable to get burned.  Free will is a person's own choice.  No one makes somebody do something he/she doesn't want to do.   In your case, you can't even do something you want to do [like stop posting here].  I believe you warned us here on several occasions that you planned a sabbatical from posting.  Promises, promises and/or threats, threats?

Oh I think there is room for another point of view than just listening to bad-mouthing of Dyson part-swappers.

Model2 can speak for himself.    Given Carmine's extensive experience with vacuums, he isn't the type to parrot a company's press release without skepticism.  

by the way, I suspect a lightweight Oreck would have about the same footprint as the Dyson city, and it would clean carpeting better than a suction only Dyson.

Or a dyson only [read bagless] vacuum advocate/enthusiast.  Note I didn't use shill but surely it fits the description of your posts.  Along with paid employee/family relative.

When I went to the website and read about and then saw the brushroll in the turbine brush I was amazed. For a cleaner that will hit UK at about $400 US or $249.99 GBP. It looks to be not worth it. The brushroll looks cheap for a cleaner at that price.  To the  people of the UK it might suit their fancy but not here in the USA.      Time will tell.  Size is 205X320X266 mm.  In Japan Turbie Head DC-26 $750 . Turbine Head  Complete $850 and High end $ 900. 250,000 predicted to sell in one year.

I believe Carmine has many followers outside of here and they are lookin for a good Carmine train-wreck...I'm just a facilitator.

Please!  Oreck is a proven technological failure...  Their claim to fame is ‘Assembled in America,’ but I wonder how many Americans are doing the assemblies?  I think it would be a riot to go to Oreck Assembly and holler ‘Immigration!, Immigration!’ and watch Oreck’s ‘Assembled in America’ scatter.
