Dyson DC31 Handheld cleaner
Original Message   Jun 25, 2009 10:06 am
In the press today:-
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23711862-details/Dyson+with+more+revs+than+F1+racer/article.do

Product details:-

  • Motor goes at 106,000rpm 'three times faster than any other motor'
  • 200 watt motor
  • 65/38 air watts (switchable power??)
  • £129.99 GBP RRP, powered brush version £149.99

I think the devil will be in the other details, as we learn them. Presumably it's using the Dyson Digital motor? From the photo, the collection bin looks slightly deeper and has a more prominent release switch. It has improved max suction (DC16 has 36 air watts) so I'm presuming (nay hoping) that it can run in standard mode for more than 5mins and switch to a 'turbo' mode as needed?

I have prefectly good DC16, but I could be tempted by something with a longer run time and twice the already impresive suction for car cleaning.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Hello Venson and hello to your alter ego...  Severus.  Who you kiddin?

If you compare apples to apples (performance of cordless handhelds), NOTHING COMES CLOSE to the DC31/31's performance.  Forget about price, can you name cordless handheld that outperforms this vacuum?  And Dyson owns the world wide rights or he owns the world wide exclusive.  No other competitor can touch Dyson's weight to power, the patented DDM, the patented and best packaged (small) hi/low cyclonic’s no-clogging dust separators (the DC16 is a phenomenal filtering machine), the patented pistol grip.  Pistol grips are standards in the construction and DIY industry because it's the best place to hold onto to maneuver and point.

DIB,

You're love of James Dyson is truly amazing.    

In the real world:  (1) price does matter, (2) suction by itself doesn't clean all that well, and (3) 5-10 minutes isn't enough time to finish most jobs.   I can't imagine anyone in the construction business buying one of these toys.  It has so little practical value it's incredible.  This hand vacuum is best suited for display by Dyson lovers than actual use.   The $300 Dyson hand held is designed for display in a glass case.     Most people don't have money for a $300 upright, let alone a $300 dustbuster.    I can't imagine anyone paying more than $75 for a hand held vacuum - unless its gold plated.

By the way, how often do you polish your Dyson?

I gotta give you all credit...  you cons always stick together.  Carmine, can you explain how Severus and Venson log in at the exact same times and have done so for the past two years?  I understand you have no credibility and have nothing to loose, but I believe Venson is a vacuum clubber and needs the respect of his peers.  You two just could not shut up.  Amazing.

DIB:

It's one thing to be make a mistake and admit it and apologize like a reasonable person would.  Quite another to be told of the mistake and do it over again!  There are names for people like you.  You know them already and it's probably the reason you are not in the restaurant business with your father.

I opine that its at least the same number of times a day he cleans the brown stuff off his nose for having it stuck so far up where the sun doesn't shine on Sir James!

Well, DIB believe what you want. I have already told you that I don't involve myself in that kind of nonsense. That is why I use my real name -- Venson Thomas -- instead of an online moniker so that there may be no doubt in regard to my own opinion as to what I see as good or bad.

In any event, there's a saying -- "If a person argues with a fool, who's the bigger fool?"

Have good day,

Venson

Well, this "fool" took screen snaps of Severus' and Venson's log in times.  Venson, I couldn’t care less how or why you do the things you do.  I'm here to expose the pathetic underbelly of bad-mouthing of Dyson by non-Dyson dealers, bad-mouthing of Dyson by authorized-Dyson dealers and bad-mouthing Dyson by collectors, enthusiasts, frustrated workbench and garage tinkers and the jealous of Sir James Dyson’s success individuals.  I've had a good time.

Going after my credibility?  Shall I upload the screen snaps?

Shhhhhhh

DIB, hold up as many screen shots as you want. You are calling me a liar and I expect you to show what you see as proof of that. However, be sure to show not one, not two but all that's there plus everyone who's been logged in the same time as myself.

Also make me even happier by checking with either this site's moderator, webmaster or administrator to establish where the posts you question emanate from.

I know thoroughly well that you are not concerned as regards my point of view and, truthfully, neither am I as to yours. And, like you -- I don't care. Therefore rant and rave all you want. Your accusations, illusions and flights of fancy discredit you, not me, and make your opinion all the more easy to dismiss.

DIB,

Please do upload the screen snaps.   I do hope to understand your logic and thought process in proving that I am Venson.   

Do you have access to someone local who could talk to you about your compulsive Dyson disorder?   I am very concerned about your mental health.   Your last post sounds like you're about to have a breakdown, and that's just not healthy.

DIB:

No one does as good a job of impugning your credibilty than you with your idiotic posts and outlandish allegations.  You are in dire need of R & R:  rehabilitation and recovery.  You're losing it DIB.

I love the anti-Dyson and rock-throwing at Dyson battles we have here.  I want to preserve that.  Although I have tired of the Venson/Severus Q&A's (to each other) posts and I hope it stops.
