All wrapped up...

 

[vintagehoover]

Un-shrunk...

 

[vintagehoover]

With the DC27 for size-comparison...

 

[vintagehoover]

The Mini FlatOut head. Auto-adjusts to carpets or hard floors...

 

[vintagehoover]

Seriously low-profile. This gets under ANYTHING!

 

[vintagehoover]

Click-fit connections - so all current Dyson tools, and the extra-cost tools, will fit.

 

[vintagehoover]

Pre-motor filter...

 

[vintagehoover]

Post-motor filter...

Does your DC22 have the DDM motor?

 

[vintagehoover]

Root Cyclone + Core Separator. The most efficient of any cyclonic separation system!

 

[vintagehoover]

imacmacdaddy: Nope, sadly. We only have the DDM V2 here so far, in the DC30/31 handhelds. We have the DDM in the Airblade hand-driers, though.

Now what I really want is one of these...

Wow Jack, love that flat-out nozzle, you could really get under just about anything. How is it on bare floors? That Baby is so cute, didn't realize they had these. Now that would be fun to have.

Jack,
your pictures really show the how the design of the fabric brush (for air flow) and the hose handle look. They may look a little strange but are just great in use. No binding of the hose when using the tools.
I have been trying to tip mine over and it just won't do it.
It reminds me of using the BIG Wheel Lewyt. So easy to handle and I also like the hose that is a little bigger in diameter. After reading about the new root cyclones I understand why others say the have constant suction and Dyson can claim "No loss of suction". Thanks again for the pictures.

Baby

Is the Baby model actually a different, smaller DC22? Or are they all the same? I can't find "Baby" anywhere on Dyson's site.

Terry - it's a great little machine! Obviously, it's designed to be used in small apartments, flats, etc. It's not intended for a home of the size of the one I live in, but I don't make my new vacuum purchases based on logic - if I did, I'd probably only have one, and it would be the DC25!

It does fine on bare floors - pretty much the same as any straight-suction nozzle, but as you can see, it gets under furniture that an 'industry standard' nozzle couldn't dream of! One of the many things I like about Dyson - they don't just launch new machines, they have incredible attention to detail when it comes to things like the dusting tools, etc.

Rob - I agree, I love the thought that goes into the smaller details, like the tools. I think the click-fit fixing is such a great advancement on the older friction-fit style. I'll go into a little more detail about the evolution of the Dyson upholstery nozzle in a minute...

Patrick - the DC22 is known as 'The Dyson Baby' in the UK. I like the name - reminds me of 'The Hoover Baby' models!! Our DC22s come in 2 versions; 'Allergy' (like mine), and 'Animal' - silver cyclone manifold, and the large and small turbine heads. We don't have a Motorhead version, sadly. I'm going to buy the large turbine head for my DC22 when my funds have recovered a little!

Here's a pic of me with my new Baby for size comparison.

...and with the hose/wand and FlatOut head removed...

 

[vintagehoover]

...and set up for use!
