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.

In the context of your many Dyson bad-mouthing posts...  When a Dyson dealer distributes what you deem - “an opinion” it is called slander and cause for their dealership termination.  Dyson too, [has many more] families to feed.  Society can easily survive when less than truthful mom and pops are caught and then shut down.  Society has a much tougher time surviving when invention factories and large employers are shut down.

I guess I am honored that my writing style is similar to Venson's.  I've always admired him for his opinions, even when they disagree with mine.  He has a lot more experience with vacuums than I.  It is remarkable to me that someone in the northeast could have the exact same writing style as someone in the southwest given the differences in local dialects.   Are you also an expert in linguistics DIB?

Hi Severus,

I am equally honored and, as always, I thank you and so many others here for your kindness.

Every known feature, convenience or capability is unlikely to be found in any one machine. My main concern is that the general public gets sound and practical information even though we're only talking about vacuum cleaners.

It has never been my desire to insist that someone buy a product just because I like it. What I genuinely want is to be helpful in directing anyone looking toward something he or she can afford, use and be satisfied with over time. I think that responsibility falls upon all of us here. Hopefully, all of our contrasting views will somehow produce a clearer picture for those looking to this forum for good solutions to what should be simple problems.

Best,

Venson

Hi Venson, Severus, 'turtle1,' MOLE, Procare, et al.

The honest independent vacuum store owners/operators stay in business for the long haul by offering customers choices in floorcare products that meet their houshold needs, budget requirements and personal likes.  Let the customers decide by answering their questions and concerns honestly and with integrity.  Then, they keep coming back and recommend others.  In this way, you make not only a new/used vacuum sale but a long term business relationship.

I see my phrase “being shut down” (my post above) has an involuntary effect - the con’s and their groupies become agitated.  I have enjoyed seeing the rats here react.  By contrast, honest men and women have nothing to react to.  You con’s and con-groupies become easily agitated not unlike thieves, drug dealers, pimps when they hear a sudden knock at the door.  The more you react, the more rat-like and culpable you look.

DIB,

The real deal is that most of us give little weight to name calling, ill-founded allegations and paranoiac speech as to how we're shaking in our shoes because "we've been found out" -- and all because of you. Such stuff usually neither hurts nor bothers the relatively sane. At most, on your behalf, it may instill in at least some of us a sense of pity.

But as you are sure your course is correct, by all means continue with your spin on the Gospel: Jimmy Dyson is Jesus and all us Hoover users are going to hell.

May you blessed any way . . .

Hello DIB:

Continuing in Venson's ecumenical response to you I would add DIB:  There are none so blind as he who will not see. 

Simple straight forward requests to you elicit no clarifications/answers on the meaning of your posts implying that strong arm tactics are/will be used by dyson against franchised dyson indies who express their true opinions about its products.  Just the usual rants and raves from you that we have all heard before about the indies in the vacuum industry.  Well here's a news flash for you.  Whether you agree or not these vacuum cleaner indies that you impugn so vociferously here are the back bone of vacuum cleaner repairs/parts businesses.  Dyson needs them more than they need dyson.  

When confronted with the the truth you retreat like a scared chicken and resort to name calling.  Why?  To divert the focus and attention off the wrongdoer's deeds and onto the truth tellers and truth seekers.  Good luck with that.  We all see right through you.

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...

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood,[1] with approximately 0.4–0.6%[2][3] of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior.

Increased dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain is consistently found in schizophrenic individuals. The mainstay of treatment is antipsychotic medication; this type of drug primarily works by suppressing dopamine activity. Dosages of antipsychotics are generally lower than in the early decades of their use. Psychotherapy, and vocational and social rehabilitation are also important. In more serious cases—where there is risk to self and others—involuntary hospitalization may be necessary, although hospital stays are less frequent and for shorter periods than they were in previous times.[6]

The disorder is thought to mainly affect cognition, but it also usually contributes to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. People with schizophrenia are likely to have additional (comorbid) conditions, including major depression and anxiety disorders;[7] the lifetime occurrence of substance abuse is around 40%. Social problems, such as long-term unemployment, poverty and homelessness, are common. Furthermore, the average life expectancy of people with the disorder is 10 to 12 years less than those without, due to increased physical health problems and a higher suicide rate.[8]

Thanks Severus for the info about mental/emotional disorders.  Hopefully DIB will get professional help.  Tho very unlikely.  I understand of the 6 percent of the population with these disorders, less than 20 percent seek professional help.  I always wondered the reason that DIB's father did not take DIB into the 3 family restaurant businesses.   DIB would never provide reasons.  Perhaps this is the reason.  Restaurant workers/owners have to socialize with their clientele in a personal and professional manner.  With the problems DIB demonstrates here he would not make it very long in the food and beverage business.  In fact any business.  Perhaps another reason DIB constantly bad mouths all the vacuum indies and all vacuum brands other than Sir James.  Not just stupidity here [as I mentioned with DIB's sign] but mentally/emotionally impaired and challenged.
