I saw the discount DC35 deal yesterday from Target and rocked up to Good Guys today to price match but actually saw they had the more advanced DC45 on offer for $1 cheaper. Had no hesitation to buy it straight away.

What's the difference between DC35 and DC45? Have a look at the comparison article below but in short:
* Slightly longer running time (20 minutes which is 5 minutes more than DC35)
* 65 Air Watts (5 more than DC35's 60 Air Watts)
* More advanced motorised carbon fibre cleaner head than DC35.

    Is this really that cheap? Quick google, looks like it's the same price in Bing Lee and jb hifi

      Yes true they all have the "same price" at the moment not sure permanent or on special…
      But these normally cost more than $3xx

        Guys the Dyson's Vacuum War has just began. I bought it at JB for $298 with free delivery. I was waiting for this deals for months.

        • sinalot on 15/01/2015 - 13:13

          Just ordered mine from JB as well!

        • Cluster on 15/01/2015 - 14:47

          It's a bit like Apple gear. Prices are more or less fixed across all retailers for months, and only move significantly with the blessing of the manufacturer. It makes waiting for discounts on new models pretty much worthless as by the time it's discounted a newer and shinier model is just around the corner. Just like Apple.

          Still, this is just a vacuum cleaner. Unless the battery deteriorates within a few years I'll be a happy user.

        • bleemo on 15/01/2015 - 14:52

          You just lost the war as goodguys is 5% cheaper…

        • andycandy on 15/01/2015 - 16:09

          @bleemo: Oh no. Doesn't matter Santa gave me few JB gift cards so I had to buy from JB.

          @Cluster: Isn't that what batteries do … (no idea if you need to replace batteries in this instance though).

          I've never actually owned a Dyson product, people do seem rather enthused about them so maybe they have that "something special" that Apple products have. They certainly have the price tag ;)

  • Regie69 on 15/01/2015 - 12:10

    Air watts??

  • bleemo on 15/01/2015 - 12:24

    Must be new price. Dyson DC59 is the successor. They must be clearing stock

    • blahoz on 15/01/2015 - 12:38

      I would agree and I was so ready to jump on and get the DC 44/45 but after reading the comparison between the two, I'm now torn to wait until the DC59 go down in price due to the listed improvements :(

      • bleemo on 15/01/2015 - 12:38

        indeed….

      • Osiris on 15/01/2015 - 14:19

        Based on the myer deal yesterday I was getting ready to part with the extra $100 for a 59 but now the price difference is about $150 im think the 45 might just do the trick…or I guess waiting for the 59 price to fall…then again look how long it took for these models to drop to these prices the current $440 of the 59 might be close to its new price.

      • 2046smh on 15/01/2015 - 14:44

        Forgive my laziness, but overall what does the DC59 have over the 44/45?

        • bleemo on 15/01/2015 - 14:51
          +9

          6 minutes extra battery life
          More suction power on 'boost' mode (35 more WATTZZZZZ)
          Double cyclonic something something…for extra filtration
          Extra anti-gravity (lighter)

          Those are the main points…

        • 2046smh on 15/01/2015 - 14:52

          @bleemo: Thank you kind sir! Very helpful.

        • myfeetarehappy on 15/01/2015 - 15:09

          We have both…the newer more expensive one has more power and longer run time. Ta da!

        • Diji1 on 15/01/2015 - 18:17

          @bleemo: Minor improvements? I don't see that you're gaining very much. Other than a lighter wallet of course.

          It's not like you weren't going to buy the old model right?

        • prankster on 15/01/2015 - 22:34

          @Diji1: i agree its like when that comes out then a newer model comes out and then you said your going to wait for that one instead when it goes on sale

        • bleemo on 16/01/2015 - 10:39

          @Diji1:

          6 minutes of battery life? that's a 30% increase. In 6 minutes I could probably do an extra 2 to 3 bedrooms.

          Anyway, decided not to buy any of them haha! will stick with my normal vac

  • moomoo2609 on 15/01/2015 - 12:44

    • drewbles on 15/01/2015 - 15:55

      Sure did help out thanks! 5% off, even with shipping, makes it cheaper than JB.

      Was holding out for the DC59, but I live in a small apartment with timber floors, so it's perfect (my roomba is good but this is perfect for spot cleaning!).

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 15/01/2015 - 16:10

      Nice work finding this out. I'm just going to post a separate deal to inform OzBargainers who haven't been on this comment thread.

  • Cluster on 15/01/2015 - 14:19

    Just bought one from GG Noarlunga SA. $294 in store. Didn't know you could buy online and pick up in store so missed out on a few dollars more discount, but oh well. DC45 looks like a nice bit of gear. My first Dyson.

    This vacuum is great for small jobs. Be wary that it only has a 20 min + battery life though. Not good if you wanna give your whole house a HEPA™ hygienic clean with dyson Radial Root Cyclone technology™ in one spirited cleaning session.

    • Cluster on 15/01/2015 - 14:35

      20 minutes normal power, 8 minutes on boost. Fortunately, I don't need mine to suck longer than that.

        You must live in a smaller dwelling, or have minimal mess from pets. Lucky you :(, lugging a vacuum around 350 square meters and 2 storeys is hard work.

        • Cluster on 15/01/2015 - 14:54
          +2

          140m2, and it's all tiled. Not a single piece of carpet/rug in the place. I clean the floors using a mop but a quick run around first with a vacuum is very handy for dust balls, cat claws, cat litter, crumbs and other odd things that mops tend to push around rather than pick up.

    I think I will wait for the DC59 price to go down.

  • kev go westie on 15/01/2015 - 15:29

    so for roughly $50 dollars extra you get a mini motorized head for the DC44 animal. is this right? is the mini motorized head worth it?

    • Diji1 on 15/01/2015 - 18:21
      +1

      I was sold on motorised heads the first time I used one because of how many times I had to empty the vacuum cleaner - however aren't people already complaining about bettery life? Unless it has it's own battery of course.

    +2

    For those of you salivating at this price (me, me!), but torn between having the new and improved (me, me!), this provides a comprehensive comparison between the DC44 and DC59.

    • DC44 is the US/UK model and exactly the same as DC45

    http://vacuum-guy.hubpages.com/hub/DC44-Vs-DC59

    • Osiris on 15/01/2015 - 15:59
      +1

      Good link pretty indepth, the conclusion is worth noting:

      One last note I'd like to make though is that I don't believe the DC44 can replace a corded vacuum cleaner (instead only supplement it), the DC59 however I believe (if you have a relatively small home/apartment based living area) does have the capability of replacing that of a fully fledged vacuum.

      For me personally, for an extra $100, I would go with the DC59 every time.

      • drewbles on 15/01/2015 - 18:43

        At present it's over $150 difference.

        I bought one and i'll use it in conjunction with my Roomba and my DC29 Dyson (which gets used only in the bedrooms with carpet). If you have a small apartment with timber floors, I don't think the $150 is really worth it if you already have a Vacuum cleaner (if you don't then you're spot on :))

    Does the battery really hold up that long. Most cordless vaccum cleaners are no good after a year or two.

    Might as well spend on corded ones?

    What's the advantage of this compare to their corded range?

    • watts on 16/01/2015 - 10:01
      +3

      I would think the advantages of cordless v's corded are fairly obvious.

      Pros - no cord
      Cons - less power and limited run time.

      The battery is fine. I've had one for a couple of years, used regularly and I still get roughly the advertised run time. Just enough to do my whole 2br townhouse.

      My only gripe with the battery is that once it goes dead flat you can't just put a little charge in it. It won't work at all unless its been on charged for some time (>30min ??).

      Other gripes compared to a large vac are:

      • there's some things the head struggles to pick up. eg. a small piece of dry dog food often just gets spun around in the head then falls back out.

      • the head required regular dis-assembly and cleaning of the brush.

      • small capacity canister.
