Here's a very early prototype from the development stage - over 40 different designs were considered, which were then narrowed down to 20. These were trialled at home by Dyson staff, and the feedback went back to the engineers to help fine-tune the design.

Obviously the launch was well-attended by journalists from dog-related publications and blogs, and some of them brought their pets with them! The little puppy on the right was only 10 weeks old!

In all, a fun but tiring morning for such a little dog! :)

Looks interesting, it really made the hair disappear fast when the comb teeth went up into the tool. I wonder how one would use that with their Motorhead line of canisters. | ||

I saw this a few days ago on the Dyson UK site...
I think it looks really cool! I'd love to try it on my dog (although he's short-haired, he sheds like crazy). I wondered if the suction was diverted at least partially to the front slot while grooming the dog... thanks Jack for pointing that out!
Gotta' hand it to Dyson to come out with some nifty accessory unlike any ever seen for a vacuum. Their intentional originality always has me looking forward to seeing their next big product. I hope it comes to America! It's odd that it says it isn't compatible with either hand vac. My DC24 and DC16 had interchangeable attachments. Maybe Dyson is worried that the hand vac doesn't have enough suction to pull in the hair (or maybe they're worried the hand vac will scare the dog!). Here's a pic of my dog, Indy. A beagle-terrier mix!

Now that you mention it Jack...
Having to hold down both the trigger on the hand vac, and the button on the groom tool would be a bit awkward (the extra extension hose might help though). Vacuuming a really shaggy dog could fill the little dirt cup quickly (I didn't consider that, but it makes perfect sense).
As a side note I really like my Dyson hand vac. I've had it over a year now, and it is by far the best rechargeable hand vacuum I have ever used. I have a fantastic extra set of tools with it, and it's so handy! I like it for dusting, stairs, furniture, and of course my car. Cleaning out a car with the Dyson really does a respectable job, and if I do it often enough, I can beat my DC16's 6 minute charge! Last winter, when I didn't want to haul out a full size sweeper, it was my go-to vac for car-cleaning. I actually just used it this afternoon on the car, and forgot how well the stiff-bristle brush works on my Prizm's stubborn carpeting! Being able to just dump the dirt out, and not have to worry about tapping off a linty filter is very satisfying. I've had to clean the filters probably every four months in mine, but it's very quick and easy. | ||

Does the Dyson have a plug in battery pack like cordless power tools-that would be very nice for it.Then the machine could work much longer. | ||

That 10 week old puppy on the right is a fox terrier and he doesnt shed. He gets groomed by hand stripping. Anyway I found this to be ironic since the Dyson grooming brush could never be used on such a dog. | ||

The Groom tool couldn't be used on the human journalists, either. Usage wasn't compulsory for attendees. | ||
