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.

Back less than 20 years ago Electrolux had a decent handvac that was battery powered and two speed and lasted 15 minutes. The big problem was the battery life and cost to replace them. People I sold never left me because I acknowledged the problem early on and wouldn' sell them one unless they really wanted them. Procare Procare:
You name says it all in this business: You are a 'pro" and you "care." A winning combination for going the long distance. I sold Westinghouse canisters for a brief period after I threw HOOVER products out. W-House were not the best vacuums on the market by a long shot. I liked the sales rep. A young Jewish college grad who got shafted by HOOVER and suffered a terrible personal tragedy: The unsolved murder of his 5 year old daughter. When he jumped to W-House I put the entire line in my store. I stood behind the products and that was the best selling feature I could make to the customers who bought them. One of the best personal and professional experiences and joys in my entire business career. Carmine D.

Not one bad-mouther has been able to belly up with a brand name and model from the cordless handheld category that out-sucks and out-filters the DC16. Surprise, surprise. DIB

Belly up yourself DIB and tell us how many you bought/used and/or gifted away at $150-$200. Before you criticize the splinter in your neighbor's eye, remove the plank from your own. Carmine D.

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...

DIB, Your lack of common sense is disturbing. Dyson truly deserves a better advocate than you. I'm beginning to wonder if you're really a TTI troll.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.
