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. |

DIB: Let me repeat this for you again v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y so you can get it once and for all. This is the second time in the last few days I posted this and probably have done so a dozen times but as usual you just don't get it. The appliance manager at the BEST BUY store that sells more dysons on the east coast than any other retailer told me in front of the store manager that dyson's DC16 was the quickest and most returned vacuum product its ever sold except for the DC11. BEST BUY stores and its customers have made up their mind already about your product. It gets the worse rating of all the hand helds sold at BEST BUY stores. BTW, the Black & Decker pivot vacuum, by James/dyson's own admission is the product that the DC30/31 are chasing, gets 5 stars. Carmine D.

Carmine, Type/talk slow as you want, it makes no difference to me. What do you find most difficult about my question and why do you avoid it? - It’s a fair [consumer] question. I’ll repeat the question... Using the DD illustration, what would consumers find faster and easier at cleaning this door rail? 1) Plugging the DD into an outlet and converting to fit a nozzle and if the rail is longer then it's requires two hands to get the job done OR... 2) Snapping a nozzle into a DC16 and pulling the trigger and using only one hand regardless of the job requirements?

The DC16 does score higher on Amazon than the DD you picture.
HS:
True but get real. Dyson's handheld for $200 [and now even more] price tag is the highest price for a handheld in the vacuum industry. It merits a 3.5 star rating out of a possible 5. That's mediocre and laughable. Highest price should command highest rating. The DD Ultra on the other hand for $29.95 scores 2.5 stars. At least DD gives buyers/users theri money's worth for the purchase. This is what matters to consumers. They want their money's worth out of their vacuum purchases. Carmine D.
