Now I've seen it all. Although it's not a bad idea. Dyson dot com for more info.

Based on the hype about this product, very common prior to dyson product launches, [patent and speculation], it's a disappoint to me especially at the price for the capabilities.  Takes a user and or loyal dyson brand customer who is emotionally tied to the dyson name/product to overlook all the glaring shortcomings of this DC35 and part with $299 to have one.

Hi Acerone, It's a nice toy -- like the electric vegetable peeler I once had. It will not provide use that's worth the expense. The harsher reality here is that its price matches that of several perfectly good full-size uprights or canister vacuums that I could name. That's no incentive to average shoppers. This might make it in specialty shops for folks with the kind of jack that makes extravagances no big deal as the DC35 would have to be a gadget someone just had to have to lay that much money out. Been there, done that, and more than once ruefully recalled how I might have been the richer by not having bothered. I have nothing to say for those who want to lay down 300 bucks on a new toy. That's totally their money and their business. I just object to their insistence it's actually useful and worse -- practical. I think a lot more corded stick vacs will end up coming home with shoppers than this. Venson

The only good thing about this model in my opinion is that it has a long metal suction pipe. Now if B&D did that, it would give their corded vac a lot more strength than inflexible bending plastic pipes.
