I found this On Dyson's Instagram page. It looks very interesting, it seems to be a DC59 Motor Head with a 'Fluffy' Floor Head and a Hepa filter. I can't wait to learn more about it!

Not a dyson fan...
But when this comes to Oz, I'll use my staff discount to buy one of these

Patrick. I'm not the biggest dyson fan either, but I may have to get this too.

Sadly Im not a fan. Whilst I think the design is great and looks oh so super cool with so many attachments, if the power can't last for anything more than 20 minutes, I'm failing to see how it can do better than others.
Infact to quote Cnet:
"...It won't stand on its own and the battery only lasts 18 minutes, 6 on turbo, so it's versatile as a spot cleaner, but it won't replace your upright..."

It looks good but as Nar says 18 mins battery life is not great.
It's ok for a quick clean up in between your regular mains cleaner and for cleaning stairs and your car, so it has it's uses but
I think i'll wait to see what happens in the future before I buy one.

The DC 59 motor head is a nice machine. I can vacuum my stairs, kitchen and entry way with no problems. It picks up well and has plenty airflow. The addition of the hepa is welcome as there is a smell of dust. There is no chance it will replace a full size vacuum, as the bin is so small, to clean a whole house would cause you to empty the bin numerous times, exposing yourself to the dust each time! Cleaning the bin well is a pain. It has its place as a quick inbetween cleaner, and it does that job well, as long as you don't mind the emptying and cleaning the bin.

Yes I agree as a quick in between cleaner it is useful and the addition of a HEPA filter is good for allergy sufferers.

Hi Parwaz,
I vacuum the flat for around 35 mins with the DC24. (Obviously not so with the DC35) Maybe that's excessively long. I'm not sure. I decided to clean up the DC24 and put it away for a few weeks.
I have been using the DC35 for the past 3 or 4 weeks to vacuum the flat. Ive managed to vacuum the whole flat, put it back on charge and then vacuum my bed and room (I have a bit of OCD so vacuum the bed lol). It has been absolutely fine and great to use, I've not needed to get out the mains powered machine. OK, it has cut out and then I've had to put it on charge before continuing, but this hasn't been often.
I have managed to vacuum an entire 2 bedroom house with the DC35, including the stairs. The bin reached the max mark but I could still fill the bin a bit more after if I wanted to go over the max line.
The Dyson V6 Absolute is pretty expensive for a battery powered vacuum cleaner that runs for less than 30 mins! But plenty of Dyson fans will be happy to purchase it.

Very nice! That was a good choice about your DC24, it is a pretty problematic machine. I prefer the DC25 IMO it is better in most ways (except from weight) but that's about it, I think they are being discontinued again though 
I just cant find the DC25 on the Dyson website :/
If I were to get a DC44 in the future maybe, I will get a spare battery for it so that I can have one on charge and one on the go for double the run time. It's like filter washing on a vacuum. Have a spare one for use whilst the other one is drying
lol

Its all to do with the price that puts me off.
Discounting the design and the extra tools, it is the cost price I would feel particularly hard done by to only get 18 mins performance time. $600 is a bit steep IMHO.
