Dyson Reveals Dyson City DC26 Handheld Vacuum [The Dyson City DC26 Brings Dyson Power Down To Size]

Vacuum (and blade-less fan) extraordinaire Dyson has revealed a new handheld vacuum that brings Dyson power and design to a small form factor.  The Dyson City DC26 weighs just 8 pounds and is as wide and thick as a standard sheet of A4 paper.

James Dyson, the Steve Jobs of suck, revealed the new Dyson City DC26 today in London.  The Dyson team’s goal was to compress and contract the functionality and power of the large-format Dyson vacuum cleaners into a smaller, lighter unit for cramped urban living.  The team spent five years on this device, and while the hard details on the DC26’s performance have yet to hit, the availability and price is officially official.  The new Dyson City DC26 will begin shipping in the UK tomorrow for £249.99.

As is true to the Dyson brand, the design of the Dyson City DC26 is both funky and futuristic.  While it may not transform into Optimus Prime’s boot, it will suck the hell out of an urban apartment and take just one third of the storage space of its predecessors.  Also, on a whim, it’ll scare the living hell out of any unwelcome intruder if you just point it at in their direction.
