No he meant 'butt munch'. Lets try it:

"$400 for someone who lives in a studio apartment may be a butt munch.

It's a Dyson -- Dyson's are luxury vaccuum cleaners so if you can't afford $400, go to Walmart and pick something out that you can. I still don't quite understand how there is a market for high end vaccuum cleaners. If If I had the kind of money for a push assisted hardcore sucking vaccuum cleaner, I'd probably just hire someone to vaccuum for me. That said, if I can afford to not be the one vaccuuming, then I don't really care what vaccuum gets used. The maid can push around a pain-in-the-ass $100 vaccuum from Walmart, while the other $300 I saved on the vaccuum can pay the maid.]]>Jan 21st 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/

For $400, your better off with a Miele canister-type vacuum. It's well designed and engineered even better. Lightweight, quiet, powerful, and completely HEPA certified. And no iMac-inspired translucent colored plastics. Come on, who want's to look at all that hair and dander sucked into the thing?]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/

You really don't know WTF you're talking about. I'd go through 2-3 Bissells, Hoovers, or you-name-it's in the same period of time. Dysons work well, are built well, and last forever. Totally worth the money. The others are a WASTE of money, since they only last a year or two.]]>Jan 21st 2010 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 22nd 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/

As well, you can totally geek out on vaccuming - as most of them feel like the Batman "Tumbler"

- Now if only they could make them cordless and create a compact charging station. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/
Even the cheapest vacuums should last 1.5 years. The problem with Dyson's is that many vacuums perform as well or better for under $100. That's proven in consumer group testing.

When I looked at them in person, I thought they looked cheap. That's probably a result of their shiny plastic. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/
I've owned several 'under $100's' that were supposedly better. If you have a dog, a Dyson is a must.

.... cordless vacuuming would be pretty sweet!]]>Jan 21st 2010 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/
Look, I know all these people seem to feel the need to justify slapping down $400 on this vacuum, but when you have MULTIPLE vacuum cleaner shops around town saying they are not worth the price and better can be had for half the price AND also consumers reports among others rate it bad and not worth the price, I think I'll choose to believe them. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/

The build quality is great, the performance is great, they are easy to clean, and they really are tough. You wouldn't expect it from a device made mostly from plastic but ours took a fall down a very long length of stairs and was none the worse for wear.

This would be great for a small apartment, but where it will really shine and sell well is with people using motorhomes/campers here in the US. Let's face it, if you can buy a camper worth several 100k you can afford a $400 vacuum cleaner.]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/Jan 21st 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/dysons-city-dc26-finally-a-sucky-vacuum-for-those-in-studio-a/
