Small just got smaller!

Does the Japanese market really require such a huge selection of similar, tiny Dysons? I count:

- DC22 DDM Motorhead
- DC22 Motorhead
- DC22 DDM Turbinehead
- DC22 Turbinehead
- DC12 Plus Turbinehead (DDM?)
- DC26 Turbinehead Complete
- DC26 Turbinehead Entry
- DC26 Motorhead

All the same, it's a cute little machine! I'd love to have one...
 
Even smaller???

If It takes 2x to empty on a dyson animal each time I vacuum, this is got to take 15!
 
Yeah Brandon but did you ever think about this?

The bin may be small but I would much rather empty it then having a bag that clogs very quickly. If you use a Electrolux bag for 1 month you think its cleaning very well. Though 3 or 4 bins = 1 electrolux bag. I fill up my Dyson upright bin everytime I clean. So if you vacuum 3 or 4 times a week. You should fill up 1 Electrolux bag a week, but that never happens.

Once I make a trip to Sams Club I will get the supplies to make this test. About a week ago I got my Kirby Heritage II working again. I got two 6 pound bags of baking soda and I made two 10 inch paths on my low pile dense loop area rugs. On the one side was the Dyson on the other was the Kirby. The kirby had a HEPA micron bag installed. I went with the Kirby first by the end of the foward pass much of the baking soda was still sitting on the rug. Bringing it back didnt help much either. Then I started the Dyson. Going foward It picked up very well keeping it inside the machine. I brought it back and the only place the baking soda was left was on the belt track which will happen with any cleaner. Why did that happen?
Cyclonic action. The dirt just was spun and fell to the bottom. Im sure you all know how cyclonic action works if not email me.
Not to "bash" Kirby but every vacuum with a bag or Filter will clog up with the dust. Now I know someone will say "Nobody will suck up baking soda". But household dust is just like baking soda. Im not going DYSON IS THE ONLY VACUUM TO BUY OR USE THROW EVERYTHING ELSE AWAY.But they are great vacuum. Has anybody tried the new Dyson DC17? Nobody here I believe knows about the new Dyson baby.
The Dyson baby is going to be the best bagless canister in the US market. My best friend and past VCCC president Tom Gasko had the first one in the United States. Dealers were able to order them a week or so ago. The best thing is that since it has the cyclonic seperator it will even spin out ciggarette smoke particles!!!!!IT also uses the Dyson digital motor which spins 5 times faster then a Formula G car engine. Because its brushless there is no carbon dust. This also mean when I and everybody on here is long gone Toms Dyson which Im sure will be passed down to another collector will still be running it will be running for longer then any of us can imagine. I dont want to say anymore but I will have to ask Tom if I can give a few more details. T
The new Dyson is designed to be used in small aparments. In these small apartments in New York and California if you can spend 1 million on a apartment Im sure you will buy a Dyson. Also its alot less then any DTD vacuums......kirby,rainbow,filter queen.
 
why I sold the dyson

The reason I sold my dyson, was because it clogged far to much.

My kirby Heritage II legend always did a better job. I had a video of it whopping my G6 as well. It was picking up aspen shavings (inspired by ttuee2006) And my dyson never could pick up the shavings.

And you all have seen the video where the dyson can't pick up the sheet of paper, and its true. I have tried it, never could. My kirbys practically ate the paper!

I have nothing against dysons. I think they are a great concept, but they cant hold a candle to the Kirbys, and Miele.


My kirbys, or actually any bagged vacuum I have ever had, have never had a clog.

And I think if a kirby got a clog, it would be really easy to unclog.

The dyson, I had to unscrew many many parts and it takes hours to fix.
 
Hi Evan,

the Dyson DC22 Baby has been onsale outside the US for quite a while now. The DDM version is not available in Europe, although it is in Korea and Japan.

Apparently, the DC22 DDM's HEPA post-motor filter never needs attention, and the pre-motor filter needs maintenance once every seven years!

Yup Jack thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!. I love it. Im going to save up and buy one from Tom.
Brandon when I say clog and dyson its not like a ball of dirt in the hose!!!!!!!!!!THe pores in a bag clog and it loses suction. You will learn that there are two different types of clogs. As for my Dyson its high CFM and suction power I have never had it clog and I love everything comes apart with clips. No tools needed. As for the DC15 why do you think they got rid of it and introduced the 25? For godsake they know what works and what doesnt.
Jack thanks for posting that stuff its awesome.
 
Jack your right BTW the Pre motor filter needs cleaning only once every 7 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me say that again
7 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7 freaking years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet again 7 years never cleaning a Filter. ONLY SNAPPING OUT A BIN AND DUMPING IT IN THE GARBAGE. In the most Hygenic way too.
 
Not knowing about Baby... I had a preview of 12 just after it came out in Japan... As for 22... cant say :D... I have known about it for ages through...

As for the 7 years... Dyson UK themselves say about the 22 that the filter needs to be washed monthly...
 
7 years...

shanonabc: This is a claim I've read about on a different forum. Evan confirms it - I assume your info came from Tom Gasko, Evan? I'd assume he of all people knows what he's talking about!

I guess we'll have to wait for it to arrive for ultimate confirmation of that claim.
 
Yup of course From Tom. Basically everything I know I have learned from Tom. He is my best friend and I have gotten alot of cleaners from him.
 
Here's some more pics of the DC22, from a Korean website. I believe - don't quote me, though! - this version has the DDM, but the Turbine head, not the Motorhead:

Kirbykid1

I can not see how a dyson can even last a year. Mine did not by itself. It was in the shop 3 times before we threw it away.

Filters dont exist on any bagless. My dyson always was covered in dirt. Kirby- never. Always clean.

bags are really the cleaner cleaner.


WELL AT LEAST I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING-- I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BAGLESS!

I sold all my cleaners, and bought A HOOVER 800 and an all original and beautiful 518.

NO CLOGS ever on these. And no filters to deal with!
