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. |

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. DIB 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? Carmine D.

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! Carmine D.

Anymore "soup" questions to answer? Carmine D. 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. DIB

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?
DIB 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. I have not seen any evidence of this. Have you? DIB P.S. I own 3 DC16's.

DIB: I have the gift of smartness [its called IQ]. No need to look it. The latter [looking smart] is for those like you with something to prove [confidence as in con] in the absence of the truth! Carmine D.

P.S. I own 3 DC16's.
Probably a good number to own and use. One DC 16 just can't do any clean up job in the short 5 minutes operation time. Now the question for you to answer, honestly if you would, is how much did you pay for each one? MSRP $150-$200. Or like MOLE suggests here, are these dyson handhelds some of the huge number of DC16 returns that dyson sells [more like giveaway] as part of its family and friends program for pennies on the dollar?
