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??)
Ł129.99 GBP RRP, powered brush version Ł149.99

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.

Thanks for the youtube clip vacmanuk. Black & Decker $60 pivotvac with twice the run time of a dyson DC16 and a fraction of the price puts dyson to shame on the wet kitty litter. And died with the job completion. Noticed that it couldn't devour the kitty litter either with the oblong tool on or off, but the B&D did with no problem and still had a 100 percent motre charge than a DC16 still left.

So much for the answer to DIB's moot question.

Too bad the old tired cordded DD was not in the competition. It would have beat them all in these tests.

Carmine,

Your lack of knowledge on how separators work is only eclipsed by your lack of integrity. Want to make a bet? - That I can prove the Popular Mechanics test as a junk test? If I win, you will not post on these boards for 1 year and if I lose, I will not return to these boards for 2 years. I will only disprove the Popular Mechanics - Dyson DC16 outcome. What do you say? Is it a bet?

Hey DIB
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! I've had probs logging in for the last couple of days since my last post! JD did write a letter of thanks and said that he would consider it. They also considered a lawn mower as well but that still hasn't come out of the company.

I was saving up (for ages) to buy Dyson's wonderful washing machine but they stopped production so many years ago; a shame really because the design principle was a good one despite the fact that in the UK they were beset with running problems.

vacmanuk,

I appreciate the response. JD is a good guy.

I’ve heard the washing machine worked great. I’ve heard the new washer and dryer are radically different, w/ radically better results than anything that’s been done thus far.

P.S. Did you know that the CEO of Jetblue approached Dyson about producing a handheld too?

DIB:

Sounds like you are very desperate to get me to stop posting here. I take that as a compliment. A silly ridiculous bet DIB. Just as I would expect from you. I have nothing to gain by winning. Why? I could care less whether you post here or not. Makes no never mind to me. You, on the other hand, want to see me off here. Why?

Here in Vegas DIB I bet on everything: Horses, sports events, college. professional, political races, boxing, golf, NASCAR, poker, slots, blackjack, you name it. One of the many reasons I retired here in Las Vegas. I love to gamble. I'm a risk taker. That's why I was in business for myself all my life. Who do you work for?

But unfortunately I won't ever and never bet with cheaters, welchers and fools [includes mentally challenged and incompetent and persons not of legal age to gamble ]. Where do you fit?

Anymore "soup" questions to answer?

Funny DIB, didn't you post a Popular Mecahnics review recently on dyson's DC28? As evidence that it is getting high grades. Are you now saying that it tests are phoney? Make up your mind DIB. Can't have it both ways just to suit your needs. Like always say and said about you: Where you stand, depends on where you sit. Since we know where your nose is all the time, we know.

BTW DIB, I always bet for money.

Did you buy a DC30 and/or DC31 yet? Or as usual did you forget that the crux of this thread is about you declaring a dyson handheld as a superior product over all the competition when all others here say otherwise, including those who own and use them. All the while not owning/using one yourself. Sounds like hypocritical praise: Do as I say, not as I do!

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...

My understanding of the separators in vacuums is that most of the problems, i.e. dirt not being filtered out, occur with dirt going into the cyclones at start up. At start up you have turbulence and start up issues. It's no big deal with an upright that is running continuously, but I do wonder how well it works for a hand vac that is cycling on and off a lot.

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

I made the offer (bet) to make the point... that, even when presented with a gift (looking smart in front of your peers and simultaneously excommunicating the number one Dyson advocate and reveler in exposing the dealer cons) you will back down. Science supersedes yours and others loose lips and conning lips.

How you spend your recreational time is not of interest to me. My interest is in exposing the seedy side (segment) to your industry - via you (primarily). Stay focused please.
