I am reminded the problem with..
"Wet dust doesn't fly" every time I clean a bagless, it is hard to get dust wet!
I believe this is why Rainbow added a Hepa after filter.
That said I love the idea of humidifying while you vacuum. One of the rarely mentioned
pluses of water filtration designs.

Tayyab, I used to watch that Inforercial all the time! The original H2O Vac looked like a massive bubble to me! That must have been at least 10 years ago now though. *sigh*
IKR! 
I loved these 
and I remember when I was a kid there was the dc14 in QVC when it came out
Vac n sweep rechargeable vacuum on best direct
Shark transformer Vax
Star life cyclonic vac
And ironically, that H2O vacuum promoted by assistant Nancy Sullivan, appeared in TV show Drake and Josh! Nancy Sullivan is the mother if Drake and Josh and they had a H2O vacuum, then some blue a Eureka Whirlwind bagless upright with a duster
LOVELY LOVELY MEMORIES AS A KID!!!

Dat ball and dem cones..
The new upright looks really interesting! The most exciting thing to me is the brushbar that looks superior to both the DC41 and DC65 (it looks like the UK's DC41 MKII's gap-free brushbar), so I can't wait to see how it cleans. The Cinetic Science is intriguing, but their cyclone packs on their current models are already so efficient, I'm more excited about the likely improvement in carpet-cleaning performance.
I wonder why the US models don't get the 'Max' slider that's on the UK models (does Dyson think Americans are so lazy we won't bend down to flip a switch?).. Just like theirs, the new TOL ball uprights love to glue themselves to hard flooring.
I recently acquired an inexpensive, but very broken-in DC41, and using it has revealed some design flaws that could be an issue across the entire ball upright range. The 'ball halves' have a bearing in their center, but also ride on very small wheels under the vacuum, and on both sides the wheels had completely seized up (I think moisture got into the ball itself). As a result, the vacuum rolls very rough when not in use. Only one half of the ball is easily removable to lubricate the wheel, and without special tools the other tiny wheel is hard to access. Dyson occasionally quietly addresses design flaws, so maybe this flaw was addressed in development in the Big Ball model.
Can't wait to try it! I hope it's a home run, like the DC59.

Four hundred and sixty quid?
I think I'll keep my DC14.

<p>so i have been doing some research and i found a place that has already reviewed it and it gets a very good rating and they say it's the best dyson they have ever reviewed. But a bit of a review i quite agree with but the last bit about the kenmore and miele i dont hundred percent agree with that part as i've had the miele and found to have a few problems but i'm sure the miele has fantastic performance but i think overall the dysons is better that's just my opinion.and the part they say the kenmore matches or beats the dyson but i think the dyson does cleaning carpets and half hard floors better but the kenmore is a lot better with large particles like rice and pasta. Ps i don't agree with a pet hair test hundred percent as other places say it was quite well get and other places say it doesn't but for mybfrom personal experiencthe new one that we have it fantastic on pet hair.

The thing about the filters is that as they gradually get clogged so performance drops and many consumers by then will be itching for a new vacuum cleaner anyway, so it's a good way to make a cleaner require replacement. Here, Dyson has spent a lot of money desining a vacuum that does away with filters.
Therefore they must also have designed a new way for the cleaner to break down.

That review is very good and makes a lot of valid points. Crucially, the fact that the big ball fails the "vacuum limbo test," points more to the action that an upright vacuum should be able to muster. I notice that for the cost price Dyson have heaped more cleaning accessories/tools to compensate.
However its about time Dyson thought about producing a smaller set of balls rather than a large one to over come the limbo test. Otherwise I fail to see the point in my home if it can't get under low furniture. That's a cleaning requirement I need in an upright vacuum.

I knew it was coming. No more filters to buy or wash, no more bags to buy?
Just a fantastically designed machine! A bit pricey yes but there will be offers in the future.
Dyson you have done it again

Well idealy it would go under the bed but there are ways around it.
You can use the low profile floor tool.

Marcus, I was just thinking I hadn't seen your name pop up in a while! Happy new year to you.
I couldn't disagree more with Josh. Not a problem? How else do you propose to clean under beds and furniture? Yes, you could use the tools, but that's incredibly time consuming.
Once again, it seems people are blinkered by their fandom of a particular machine to notice it's flaws. Just like Mr. D himself.
Perhaps Dyson could start including a narrow but wide straight suction tool for cleaning under beds and furniture? That would certainly help and be a very marketable feature. We all know Dyson love a gimmick.

I get on OK with the low profile floor tool but yes as you say a narrow but wide suction tool would be good.

Something like that, but maybe a bit narrower in depth would be a good solution.
I guess if someone really wanted to, they could get a cheaper, generic 32mm fit floortool from ebay for such things.

It is not incredibly time consuming to use tools with a Dyson. In one second, you can go from using your Dysin as an upright to pulling the hose out within a blink of an eye. The wand and hose are ready to use, no assembly required.
Those flat out heads are very good! Incredibly low profile and stay in contact with the carpet. Seal quite well, but not all suction is sealed. Love it! Dyson also provide different adapters for use with different machines

Yes I like the flat out tool and the articulating floortool. They both work very well in my home.

Had it 4 months now filter still looks clean.
I'm loving it. Of all the uprights I've used this is still my favourite. It's effortless to manouvre seems to float across my carpets. My wife says she finds it easier to use too. So it's all good.
Maybe sometime in the future I'll get the Big Ball. That name makes me chuckle haha

And yet here I am with 2 cats that moult and a bed that they like to sleep and play under.
Alienated from having a dyson like all the pet owners with carpeted bedrooms because the cleaners wont go under the bed.
No I don't want to use a straight suction tool cos they don't shift pet hair.
No I don't want a cylinder cleaner with a turbo cos they are back breaking. That's why I want an upright.
No I don't want to spend time unclipping a hose and then having to wangle it back onto the cleaner just to go again.
No I don't wish to waste my time with a mini turbine poking it about under a kingsize bed.

"the only upright with no bag or filters"
Er, no, what it actually says is "The only vacuum with no filters to wash or replace...".
What this really means is that filters will still be present, but that they will take much, much longer to become clogged with household dust (ash, plaster and cement dust excluded).
And as for that massive ball... why on earth can Dyson not shrink it, by using their famous Digital Motor?! Maybe they can't get it work in the uprights.
120 Air Watts suction is a more than a little lacklustre too.

the dyson has no filters the only one is the motor filter to catch the carbon dust.and the suction on dysons website is wrong is 215awas i asked and that's what it said at the beginning when it was first available. person that runs the website obviously doesn't know what they're doing

Rob, we have the same problem here! Our little long haired lady loves to sleep under the bed, so it needs vacuuming fairly regularly.
The joy of the Sebo and it's flat-to-the-floor vacuuming means I don't have to interrupt my vacuuming to clean under the bed. Heck, I don't even have to switch the machine off or change any settings.

That's what I've come to appreciate about the design of the SEBO Felix flat to floor design for easy non stop floor cleaning under low furniture. One thing Dyson only had with the DC03. I would think it would be a very good challenge for James Dyson and his Engineers to design an upright that can lie flat to clean under low furniture.
I asked Dyson about this in the past and their answer was to use the wand and hose with the flat out tool or buy and use the digital slim to vacuum under low furniture.
I think the introduction of bagless technology, has compromised some other useful vacuum designs and features one being flat to floor and being able to use the vacuum flat to go under beds and low furniture.
Not everyone wants to have to move furniture to clean under or have to pull out tools or use another type of vacuum more so if you are doing a quick clean round.
