Digital Slim

[DysonAnimal]

A few pictures of the new Dyson Digital Slim - I ordered this from dyson.co.uk on Sunday evening, and it was delivered (free shipping!) on Wednesday morning...

Carbon Fibre Motorhead - two rows of stiff nylon bristles for carpet-cleaning, and 2 rows of anti-static pure carbon fibre filaments, for hard floors.

Pivoting V-Ball design... a rolling surface is always in contact with the floor, regardless of the angle of the wand...

Take off the Motorhead to clean high up...

Or low down...

 

[DysonAnimal]

Or put the Motorhead onto the cleaner itself to clean stairs or mattresses...

 

[DysonAnimal]

Full compliment of dusting tools...

 

[DysonAnimal]

A full-length crevice tool...

Dusting brush...

Upholstery nozzle...

 

[DysonAnimal]

Low-profile for cleaning under furniture. Articulating head steers around obstacles...

Took it for a quick spin around the house... and filled the bin to the 'max' line!

The amount of dirt isn't entirely surprising - in a house of 6 people, a cat, a dog, and a constant stream of visitors, plenty of dirt is trodden in and around each day. But I was impressed how much fine dirt, sand and grit it pulled up.

Looks really interesting Jack. How long does the battery last? Wondering what one would cost here in the states? Those results are really amazing.

Hi Terry -

the runtimes are as follows:

Floor cleaning on normal power - 13 mins
Floor cleaning on max power - 6 mins

Handhand on normal power - 15 mins
Handheld on max power - 6 mins


The dirt in the photos above was vacuumed up with the cleaner set to normal.

The lithium-ion battery recharges fully in 3.5 hours.

In the UK, the Digital Slim is priced £199.99, which puts it directly in line with the Vax LiFE Unplugged (or LiFE Multipack, if you buy from the Vax website). In the US, it sells for $299.99.

It uses the same Root Cyclone technology as Dyson's full-size machines, as well as Dyson's 104,000rpm Digital Motor V2:

Nice!

The results are pretty impressive Jack I would like one but as you know Dyson products are a bit on the spendy side here in the USA. I'll take a stab at my MSRP estimate... $379.

Jack thanks for the information! I think that would really be a handy little unit to have. Hopefully one day they will come down a bit in price here in the states. Terry

That is extremely cool. That Motorhead must really clean. But it would never survive my house, I'd have to dump the canister after every room.
