Dyson City DC26 makes small work of your household chores
Dyson has added a new vacuum cleaner to its range that's so small, it'll sit on a sheet of A4 paper.
Never been one to shy away from design challenges, the Dyson City DC26 is made up of 275 parts all pulled together with size and weight in mind.
If the name didn't give it away, it's aimed at city dwellers or those with limited space and apparently weighs less than some laptops so you'll be able to whizz it around your humble abode with no worries.
Also, in what sounds like a pretty awesome job, Dyson's test team reported that the pint-sized vacuum withstood 5,138 drops on a hard floor and 10,000 pummels against a metal wall. Hardy stuff.
It's taken the folks at Dyson five years to create this little beauty, which measures up as a third smaller than its predecessor, so expect suction not to have suffered in its mini-fication.
The Dyson City DC26 will go on sale for a not-so-mini £249.99.

An excellent design but I think the price is a bit steep considering the reduced capacity.

I have owned 2 Dyson machines and they have both bust. 'Intelligent Design' thats one of those meaningless sayings like 'It's Interactive' that has polluted language over the last 15 years. Over used and meaningless.
Its a vacuum cleaner made in pretty plastic colours. I'm glad I never got rid of my trusty Nilfisk bag cleaner that can still suck a gobstopper through a garden hose after 10 years use.

Love my fact that it's tough and tiny but prefer upright models.
