Hello Venson: Yep, $299 is the going rate for the green unit over at Lowes right now, even though the Electrolux website listed a $399 MSRP. Honestly, even if Electrolux forced Lowes to bump up the price another $100, it would still be a much better value than the Dyson DC25 Animal at $549. One particular Lowes associate remarked that he thought that the Nimble is better constructed than the Dyson, doesn't feel as flimsy and twisty at the handle, looks more upscale, and was surprised by the price and warranty of the machine when they first arrive [I think Electrolux is now bumping up their warranty coverage from two years to five years on most of their popular machines]. I definitely like the looks of this machine -- I really get a "Miele S7" vibe from its exterior (It's actually how I imagined that patented bag-less Miele that never game to fruition). Hopefully, the Nimble will get proper marketing.
Hi IMacDaddy,
Thanks for the very descriptive pictures. Pricepointwise, I think some of the new bagless uprights will give Dyson a run for the money due to features not found on a lot of what Dyson has on the market. Simple things like carpet height adjustment, switchable motor speeds and easier attachment use.

Looks like I'd stick with the Dyson if I had to go bagless.

Vacmanuk, that would be your privilege. Although I would expect more from you. Why? As all here would tell you including me, the very same lacklustre and even horrible reviews and ratings could and would be found for every single dyson model too in the on line reviews. Save maybe DC28 which sells for $600. And I wouldn't swear that to be true for that model either. Why?
Back in June 2010, I asked a BEST BUY staff member to use a DC14 after he thoroughly vacuumed an area of BB's rug with a DC28. Lo and behold, he picked up more dirt from the rug. Surprise surprise. Carmine D.

Carmine D. We all know that any vac used after another will continue to pick up dirt. Unless it is deeply embedded then the Oreck will not.

Carmine D. Well, Carmine you did provide the link after all. I was just shocked to see a couple of negatives. We'll see over time how the Nimble will do - and whether it ever reaches the UK.
