Hello! A very 'early' happy new year to everyone! Anyway, with all of that over with, I thought I would show you what I have found in the Dyson website. The Small Ball. It is basically a DC50 with a DC24 handle. Why was it brought back? Was it for durability of something like that? Everyones views would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Thomas

I don't really like Dyson, but it could be because people wanted a more compact, yet advanced machine like the newer ball models. Just my two cents.

Probably by using the DC24 handle/wand setup gave them more scope to put extra length on the hose. Using this design you have to pull the wand out to attach it to the top of the handle/wand where as the old DC50 design you pulled the wand out and use it as is, the handle stayed attached to the machine like the bigger ball models!
I hope they have also revisited other issues I've seen owners of the DC50 mention in reviews or on Dyson FB page. Blockage issues mainly where the air path enters the bin up through the centre of it, owners report constant blockage issues. Plus brush bar wearing down very quickly! Another thing I think they need to address is the marketing as they marketed the DC50 as a small light weight with the same performance as the larger machines. That's fine. When the general public see the adverts and to adverts they'll think I prefer a lighter vacuum (regardless of there size of habitat!) and may buy one. They then have issues with it, bin too small, cable not long enough etc.... Dyson response to owners complaints about the machine advise it's for small homes and apartments/flats. They just need to make it more clear in the marketing!! Just some of my thoughts..... One thing I have noticed is Dyson is updating parts on the Ball models of late but no new ball design on the horizon as yet! Or can the upright ball technology be changed anymore!? | ||

Interesting to read it from someone who worked for Dyson that seems to backup what we see. Dyson must know what they are doing, clever marketing to get consumers to buy! Once they have the machine it's money coming in regardless if it's suitable. I seen FB comments there they would advise the customer they can exchange the machine for a more suitable one. I would think that would cost more money! Would sales be effected (big or small or very slightly) if they stated in the advertisements? The consumer would be better informed and probably still buy just another model more suitable to them!
Same with the Dyson cordless range (V6 range) marketed as having the same performance as a corded machine. Regardless of runtime owners (a lot of them!) are using them as their main vacuum ditching their corded machine then complaining the runtime is 'rubbish', bin capacity too small etc....Dyson standard reply on FB and other media platforms to owners along with other comments as the cordless range is for quick cleans and in between cleans to your main one used by a corded machine! Again the marketing is not clear! | ||

They moved from plastic to metal
to strengthen the handle. From what they said, it sounds like they made the cord a little longer too. You guys are right in saying that they shouldn't say it cleans as well as their larger models. The DC50 isn't even close. It did an awesome job on bare floors, but the nylon bristles were very wimpy. With all those cyclones, I hope they don't compromise on carpet agitation this time. If they could make a lightweight model that cleaned as well as the Riccar Supralite, for instance, they would have something really impressive on their hands. It's just a real brushbar away!
