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.

Hello Severus:

The Dirt Devil handcleaners I see at yard/garage sales are usually priced $15-$20 and sometimes more.  I suspect the battery packs in those dyson handhelds you picked up are shot.  Replacement batteries are $50 plus.

Hello 'turtle1'

Dyson has a cult-like following ref: DIB.  Misguided for the most part.  Can't separate the fantasy in their minds from the reality of the real world.

More like a nightmare to the lying of Dyson, the bad-mouthing of Dyson "bottom feeder" vacuum dealer independents, and some these "bottom feeders" are indeed Dyson dealers (an old game of bait and switch).  These same bottom feeders have groupies (the so-called enthusiast) - they don't like me either.

Note:  I'm only referencing the "bottom feeders" and not the upright and respectable.

Retardturtle,

Can you demonstrate your "limited use at best" claim?  How about starting with Dyson advertised claims..  1) strong suction (maybe strongest in its class) and 2) no suction strength loss (no clogging for many months).

Thanks DIB for distinguishing the moral and ethical indies who post here from the rift raft dealers that dyson franchises to repair its products.

To start with DIB: 5 minutes on a 3-5 hour charge gives it limited usage in home, garage and car.  Are you not reading the posts here except your own.  You need 3-5 DC16 handhelds for any routine clean up job around the house and garage. 

Similarly if you own/use only one DC16, you best have a back up like a Black &Decker  and/or Dirt Devil to finish the job.  Come on DIB try and keep up here.  You ask the same silly nonsense over and over again. 

Severus is right about you.  Sir James must really be hardup to keep you on here as dyson's number one advocate.  The more you post the bigger dyson falls into a sink hole.  Take a cue from HS.  Clam it.  You lost the battle and the war here on dyson's DC16.  It's a collectable at best and an overpriced one to boot.  Just like the dyson's DC11.  Both were DOA.

HI DIB

Id be more than happy to explain.......as i said.' reguardless of how great it does......it cant and wont do it for more than 5 -6 minutes tops at full power..if that.

not long enough to do more than a spilled ashtray on floor and sofa.....after that its nap time.....what if you make another mess between charge cycles?

6 min just isnt practical or useful enough to warrent the price tag.  The ddm is a great motor...awsome no doubt from all ive read and seen...but a poor choice

in a 6 min hand vac...now if it had a cord it would be a real threat....but not at the current price ....with a full sized fan in an upright i feel it will be a very powerful unit...

but overpriced , my opinion only....all in all ...run time and price will be the death of this one...no matter what class its in.

No plug no power....no matter who makes it....ill take the xtra time to plug up....better to have too much pwr/time than not enough.
