For the price? The original over priced market price in the shops or a different price?

I remember reading years ago, that the Dyson Digital Motor was supposedly able to operate with no exhaust filter, 'cos there were no carbon dust emissions. That is believable, because it is a brushless motor.
If the Cinetic cyclone technology is so good that a pre-motor filter is not required, why on Earth did Dyson not fit a Digital Motor?
Had they done so, there would be no pre-filter and no need for an exhaust filter, making the machine almost filter-less (that mesh screen in the bin is still a filter).
Maybe they need the exhaust filter to reduce noise levels...

Thanks for the video Dyson boy I like the new flexible crevice tool that is also an under appliance tool. I want one of those to clean under my washing machine and fridge.

Does any know what wattage the UK version of this Dyson is? Only asking as the QVC US clip the lady mentions a bigger ball for a bigger motor with increased power. I wouldn't of thought that be the case for the UK/Europe version.

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">looked in my mums new "Kays" catalogue that arrived today. I noticed that the "Cinetic Big Ball Animal" was more expensive in the catalogue as you would expect.</span>
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">I was surprised when I saw it's been rated C on carpets. </span>

i tend not to listen to the ratings anymore because of what people say as not done properly.i'm sure the ratings are wrong as a miele gets c for carpet as well and that's one of the best fot carpes you can get.so probably this new dyson cleans the same even better than miele.

There must be something very wrong...
...with those performance ratings.
I honestly don't think that Dyson, Miele et al are poor performers. It's more likely the ratings are skewed depending on who is testing them. Hence the perfectly reasonable calls for independent test centres to do the testing. In-house testing is plainly wrong.

The ratings are all over the place. For example, a cheap, bagless Vax with no brushroll off function was awarded an A rating on hardfloors whereas a straight suction Henry was awarded a C rating. We all know that the Henry would be better on hard floors out of the two.

I bet the Dyson Big Ball wouldn't do much better
Brand new Dyson Dc65 vs 10 year old Kirby Sentria :
Brand new Dyson Dc65 vs 10 year old Kirby Sentria :
No one has said dyson is better than kirby.so i don't see the point you posting that video .and that video is flawed every vacuum is going to leave dust in the carpet no vacuum can get it all out.so this video is rubbish?

It probably works about as well as any other Dyson. If anyone knows does it have better suction than the DC07?
I'm not opposed to Dyson, I think they are marketing upper level discount store quality.
A few things that I don't agree with, Fantom's original 9 and 11 amp models originally shipped with no pre or post motor filter, we've been there done that (and I am willing to bet a Thunder still outcleans this one, meaning Dyson hasn't been able to design a machine to outclean the original machines based on their technology).
Rainbow had filterless vacs for longer than James Dyson has been alive. I very highly doubt it will outclean a Rainbow because of brush roller agitation.

This is so amusing.
Somebody makes a video pitting a Dyson against an inferior machine and certain people start clucking like mad hens; "look at how much better it is!", "look at how much it picks up!"
Somebody makes a video pitting Dyson against a superior machine and suddenly it's a flawed test?

Interesting info, Tayyab, thanks.
Dyson had to purposely lower the suction on the first lot of DC07's after complaints it was too difficult to push.

Regarding the Kirby vs Dyson video:
It may be true that the last vacuum to go will get SOME dirt left behind by the first vacuum, but in this video anyone with a normal amount of common sense would agree that in this case the Kirby definitely wins. Just look at the amount of salt left behind after Fifty passes of the DC65 vs only 6 passes of the Kirby.
I mean that is a huge amount of salt picked up by a 10 year old Kirby Sentria vs a brand new out of the box DC65 after 50 passes! Keep in mind those black filter pads in the Kirby dirt meter restrict the Kirby's airflow by 10 times the normal amount than when the bag is installed. Just imagine how much more salt would have been picked up if the Sentria had the bag installed.
So, based on this test, would you rather spend $600 on a brand new DC65 or $150 for a 10 year old Kirby Sentria? Which machine would leave you with a cleaner house? The answer is obvious isn't it?

and you can see how much dust kirby left behind in the video i showed you it just shows it is not a fair test.i would happily accept to kirby is better if we did it the proper way.and no one has said dyson is better then kirby at cleaning.

Its been a while since I was on here. But anyway, I was in Currys Wembley at the weekend and saw this machine. I am pleased to see that Dyson has reinforced the back spine of the machine, making it stronger and not prone to bending and flexing. Well done to Dyson for doing that.
I didn't find it easy to use as the ball was soo big and its too bulky (for me), there is still the inability to go under low furniture.
I'm still not a fan of the plastic wand, I loved the aluminium ones. But the aluminium is history now and I guess its 'progress'.
Its great to see that it doesn't require filter maintenance, that was an issue for me with previous Dysons and some loss of suction.
I'm going to buy a Dyson DC25 machine before they stop making them. In the meantime I use my DC24 machine and the DC35 Cordless in the meantime. I shall use my DC24 until its fails completely. For the past 2 weeks I have been using the DC35 for the whole flat. I know it wont provide a deep down clean, but its done the job to maintain a clean flat and its a great thing to have.

OMG
Your getting a DC25! Thought it was Vax time? Lol ah well.
You will love the DC25. I love mine. I want the new DC41 mk2. Atleast the DC25 has an aluminium wand though compared to the newer ones. Aluminium is lightweight and strong which is kinda silly of Dyson but I guess overall it reduces the weight of the machine
