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.

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.

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.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any cordless handheld vacuum that sucks more than the Dyson DC16.   However, once the 5 minutes are up, every other handheld whips the Dyson.  Since you are so impressed by it, when will you actually buy one?

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable.  The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

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.

Hello Severus:

Interesting observation about DIB.  When a poor overpriced product [DC16] has a weak advocate [DIB], all the rest of the competition gets the market share and the advertisement is free. 

Save to say that at 2 of the dyson's competitors in the handheld market, the Dirt Devil Ultra and Black& Decker pivot vacuum, one corded with a revolving brush and one cordless with tools, at $35 and $50 keep on going after dyson's DC16 [$150-$200] needs another 3-5 hour charge for 5 minutes more of clean up.  No wonder vacmanuk's friend start's the car clean up with dyson's DC16 and has to finish the job with a Dirt Devil.

DIB:

Like I said of all your questions, they are meaningless.  The answers are moot to consumers' purchasing decisions for handhelds.  You ask "soup" questions.  5-6 minutes for operation times at $150-$200 for any garage, house and/or car clean up applications is blindly unrealistic.  Hence, dyson and James are pushing the DC30/31 for $300 with a lo speed of 10 minutes and hi speed of 5 minutes.  Neither of which is truly any better than the DC16 for serious clean ups around the house, car and garage.  More importantly, from a new products perspective they are not even comparable let alone better than the Dirt Devil corded ultra and B&D pivot.  The latter two brands/models at a fraction of dyson's prices.

The only bellying up here is being done by you and the weak products you profess/proclaim on behalf of your beloved James w/o buying/using.  BTW how's that cyclonic dyson nose cleaner coming along?  I'm sure it will keep you busy, that is if you take your nose out long enough.
