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... |

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

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 very cool and I love the Pivoting V-Ball design but I just don't want to deal with battery packs and charging times.
If this Digital Slim can have a 22VDC motorhead why not on the north american DC26? Oh, the frustration of it all. :-) So, what is the construction of the wand that carries the 22 volts to the motorhead? Dave, jonesin' for the Motorheaded DC26, dammit. I know, I know, I'm whining...but the little DC28 is sooooo cute and tiny. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |

Gotta say - very impressed with the way the brushroll is serviced. Makes for a more compact width. Thanks Jack! |

Jack, that is a very interesting little machine! Its also a suprising amount of dirt to be picked up by such a small vacuum, very impressive! Im curious to know more about the carbon fiber brush roll. Its probably my total lack of knowledge amout the material, but when I first saw it all I could think of was the carbon brush dust emitted from a vacuum motor and would the brush roll strips wear away quickly. Anyway, Id love to hear more info about it especially since you seem to be our Dyson expert on this site. I've enjoyed your many posts about Dyson and have seen many of your youtube videos, all of which are great!

I think these vacuums are a great idea. When I still had my dc24 (mini ball upright), I used to attach the wand from that to the DC16 hand vac (it fit!), and use it to get cobwebs and clean along baseboards. It worked great! Now compared to their original DC16, their new hand vacs have a much longer battery life, twice as much suction, better filtration, a digital motor, a handy wand, and what looks to be a very good powerhead for a "stick" type vacuum. It looks versatile and fun!
Panasonic used to sell a product like this called the A.R.M., which I really liked. It had a similar setup where the motor was near the handle, and it had a wide assortment of tools (including wands and nice bare-floor tool), for all types of cleaning. While working at the vac shop, the few customers I met that owned one LOVED them, and still used them 20 years later. Now today Dyson is the only company that has a product like this, and it looks spot-on! How does it do on the bare floors? Do the carbon fiber brushes live up to the hype? Thanks for posting the great pics! |

So when is JD going to convert it into what it looks like, a cordless drill? |
