What kind of “standards” and “values” do creators who forge new worlds with their original works use to select the items that surround them? We introduce the appeal of Dyson's cordless vacuum cleaner, the "Dyson Digital Slim DC62," which FPM's Tomoyuki Tanaka, a leading DJ/producer, even calls his "ideal product."

I want to keep it nearby, ready for immediate use
Dyson is memorable for its striking TV commercials, proclaiming "The only vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction." The latest cordless cleaner model is the "Dyson Digital Slim DC62." Equipped with the newly developed "Dyson Digital Motor V6," which is 1.5 times more powerful than previous models, and featuring "2 Tier Radial™ cyclones"—15 cyclones arranged in two tiers to increase airflow—the smaller cyclones capture finer dust.
Its dust collection performance, based on suction power, is higher than that of corded vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, the DC62 is 10% lighter than previous models, and its ergonomically designed handle and lighter trigger reduce strain on the hands and fingers during prolonged use.
Tanaka uses the "Dyson Digital Slim DC62 Motorhead Pro." This online store exclusive model features a sophisticated iron color and comes with accessories such as an uptop tool for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, a flexible crevice tool, a hard brush tool for floors and car mats, and an extension hose.

Fifteen cyclones arranged in two tiers generate powerful centrifugal force to reliably capture fine dust.

The ergonomically designed trigger of the "DC62." The unit's weight is also 10% lighter than previous models.
Cleaning the car interior was a challenge
Tanaka, known as a car enthusiast who owns an Aston Martin DB7, admits that cleaning his car's interior used to be a challenge.
"The advantage of a cordless cleaner is that you can take it out and use it to clean your car, not just your home. With previous handheld models, the car's interior shape was difficult to clean, and they lacked power. I ended up using a corded vacuum cleaner or, if that wasn't enough, doing a thorough cleaning at a gas station. But with the DC62, it's incredibly easy to take it out of the house. In about 20 minutes, I can thoroughly clean everything from the trunk to the floor and the depths of the dashboard. I also switch tools depending on the area. The convenience is undeniable."
For the design-conscious Aston Martin DB7, tools that can effectively clean not only the intricate details around the dashboard and shifter but also the floor and mats are invaluable.
"A friend had a cordless vacuum cleaner, and it was so light and easy to maneuver that I really grew to like (handheld vacuum cleaners). I've quit smoking now, but when I used to smoke, I hated the scattered ash, so I kept a handheld vacuum cleaner right next to me in the living room or my workspace. I'm the type of person who wants to keep it nearby, ready for immediate use (laughs)."
"But previous handheld vacuum cleaners ran out of battery quickly and took a long time to charge. Plus, their suction power was overwhelmingly weak (laughs). I didn't like their designs either. With a corded vacuum cleaner, cleaning feels like a major undertaking, which I don't particularly enjoy."

A tangible sense of cleaning
Tanaka recognized the convenience of cordless vacuum cleaners for spontaneous use and continued to use them for that very reason, but they were not products he had chosen with full satisfaction.
"So, this product (DC62) is exactly what I've been looking for—my ideal product. It has a very stylish design and a premium feel. I believe appearance is important for machinery, just as performance is. In that regard, this (DC62), despite its small size, offers this level of quality. The texture is truly superb. I also appreciate its moderate weight; too light feels a bit unstable, but this is just right."
Tanaka is particular about the design of the products he uses. His ownership of an Aston Martin DB7 attests to his aesthetic sensibility.
"With the handheld vacuum cleaners I used before, even if I wanted to clean the inside of my car, the suction power was completely insufficient. Even after cleaning, small grains of sand tend to accumulate on the car floor. So, I placed my hopes on Dyson's suction power. I thought, 'Maybe Dyson can handle it.'"
Compact yet easy to handle, with astonishing suction power. Using the Dyson again, Tanaka felt it lived up to the image portrayed in the commercials.
"When the Dyson (DC62) is running, you can see dust and debris accumulating in the transparent bin. It gives you a tangible sense of cleaning, which is great. There's a real sense of accomplishment when it's clean. Watching the dust form layers inside is very satisfying. It's exactly like the commercials, as expected. This level of suction power in a handheld is truly amazing."
However, Tanaka has an even more compelling reason for favoring the "Dyson Digital Slim DC62 Motorhead Pro."
"This was a complete coincidence, but the width of the combination tool is a perfect fit for the dusty area on the shelf where I keep my vinyl records! It makes cleaning so much easier. I almost thought it was a dedicated nozzle for this purpose. I felt it was destiny—a Dyson made just for me (laughs)."
