Dyson DC31 Handheld cleaner

In the press today:- http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23711862-details/Dyson+with+more+revs+than+F1+racer/article.doProduct 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.

Hi Model2,
I also thank you much for the video link but have to say I am also unimpressed by Dyson's presentation. A lot of talk but little action.
I guess I'm beginning to think like Carmine. The thing I was waiting to see here was a real-deal demo. I am not overly concerned about the high-filtration capability of a battery operated hand vacuum as they are not used for long periods of time. This also negates Dyson's mention of the brushless motor and no carbon emissions -- a silly point for this type of vacuum. Furthermore, his even bothering to lend even five seconds attention to those issues made me doubt the man's line of thought. Too much science and too little practicality.
What I did notice, per Dyson though he did not say so outright, was that the battery/electronic system, as claimed, emulates the set-up for the Hoover Platinum stick vac -- it runs full speed for ten minutes and stops once full power can't be delivered.
I'll stick with my ten-dollar plug-in thingy and be happy for the time being I think.
Best,
Venson Can i get a polisher attachment so i can clean and polish my woodwork?. Can i hook up my optima deep cycle battery and use it allday,can i use an adapter and run it off 240 volts?. Can i use it for a cordless drill?. My, My,MY, how desperate dyson has become,Whats next the laundry stuff that runs on steam power??????
regards MOLE

Hello Model2 and thanks for the YouTube clip. I was disappointed by it. Despite its length its lacking a good demo of the new product. Couldn't hear the questions and even answers on occasion. James looks terrible in the video considering he is pitching his latest technology and product. My question about the noise level was answered. My 12 year old lab was half asleep/awake about 3 feet away from the computer. I turned the speakers on low [my dear Wife is asleep], when James hit the power button on the handheld, the motor squealed like a trapped pig, and my lab jumped up and ran out. Carmine D. There was no smoke-and-mirrors "demo" of the product. All in attendance - media reps, journalists, etc. were gifted DC31s, allowing them to try the product out in their own home environment, and subject it to any task or performance test they should wish to.

Carmine/Venson, You guys are funny! Venson, your “To much science, not enough practicality” statement is side splitting. What part of the Dyson “meet and greet”/intro to the DDM handheld do you find confusing/can’t get your head around (not practical enough for you)? And Carmine is classic Carmine... that is, he never is or rarely is accurate of Dyson. TTI’s so-called fade free lineup came ONLY AFTER Dyson’s fade free DC16. Dyson DC16 needs fast steady airflow, TTI's handheld has no mechanical benefits to being "fade-free". TTI used the fade-free marketing hype/no mechanical benefit handheld only so to enter Dyson's preimum priced handheld segment. DIB

Model2, You went to the intro?... very cool. For a collector/historian meeting/watching Dyson demo history/their inventions IS HUGE... a once in a hundred years or so opportunity. I’m going out of town and like to hear more later. If you have anything else to share then please do. I’d like to view the entire presentation if possible. Thank you for the upload, etc!!! DIB

DIB, I not the least bit confused. The issue to me is having a simple machine to handle simple jobs. However, here we have all this wonderful -- and expensive -- technology just to get donut crumbs out of my car. As I said, my little ten dollar tub will do just fine. Should it fail, I'll roll the car around to the house and run a dord out. (Done it before.) AND gas plus juice included for the task, I'll come out cheaper. Venson

Are they throwing in the hand vac to compliment the dc28 giveaway? Whens Sir James going on top gear??????? regards MOLE
