Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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.

Anyone else have the answer to my straightforward and fair question (quoted above)?...   Anyone?

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?    






cordless handheld category that out-sucks and out-filters the DC16?

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.

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.

DIB, thought you might like to read and apply today's Gospel reading [actually an excerpt] to your situation here.  If you need assistance with the symbolism and meaning, and you may, feel free.  I'll provide you the needed clarification.  At this point I think every poster here on this thread, including HS, has weighed in against you/your erroneous thoughts and beliefs.  Making you, like the Gentiles and tax collectors, an outsider.  A non-believer.

Gospel
Mt 18:15-20

Jesus said to his disciples:
“If your brother sins against you,
go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
If he does not listen,
take one or two others along with you,
so that  every fact may be established
on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the Church.
If he refuses to listen even to the Church,
then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.

Dyson could learn something from Toyota about battery powered devices.  You've got to have a back up plan for when the batteries run out.   There's nothing wrong with a cord for handheld devices.    In fact, I'd prefer to see him offer a corded model for far less money.   The weight would drop due to no battery.   It doesn't matter if it has the highest suction of any cordless handheld or best filtration because after 5 minutes it can't clean as well as a broom and dustpan.   A corded model would have the capacity for even greater suction due to the higher voltage available, and not have the serious limitations of a cordless model.  

If you think of the Dyson DC31 as a handheld cleaner, it has serious problems.  But if you consider it a piece of art or status symbol for display in a Dyson enthusiast's home, it is priceless.

Dyson might have more luck branching out into cordless drills, since they are more likely to be used far away from an electrical outlet.

Bravo Severus.
