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.

I appreciate that Carmine and all forgiven.  The devil use’s us all to a lesser or greater degree, although the greater majority of believers refuse except this (believers refusing to believe...  so what else is new).

As said so eloquently by St. Peter:  Be ever somber and vigilant, for the devil, like a hungry lion, is ever on the prowl for someone to devour.

Now these prices are way too much. Dyson DC31 Base model $219 and for the Animal $269....

Hello Aceone:

If you add the dyson set of attachments for $60 the prices become $279 and $329.  Cost of most full size vacuums with unlimited power and usage.

Carmine,

You and your "beat up on Dyson for any reason posters" here have beat to death the point[s] of pricing.  So now repeating yourself of pricing is a moot and boring point.  For those who can justify it’s pricing and/or an extra battery...  pricing is a non-issue is it not?

You found a way to make these vacuums “appear” more expensive than they are or will become in a real-world environment.  Sticking a “taller” number and shouldering these handhelds with all of Dyson’s available accessories must be old habits and tricks to your “up-sale ways” (stick it to the customer) from “back in the day” and in your shop.

These vacuums are world’s first and probably worlds best in there respected categories.  They are the F1’s of their class[es].  For those who can afford them and for those who can justify their prices, these F1’s of cordless handhelds will deliver much satisfaction and fanfare.  If more battery runtime is desired these owners simply go out and make the purchase and not think twice.

For many, but maybe not the masses these F1’s priced at $220 and $270 seem like a bargain.

DIB:

I wouldn't expect you to agree with the consumers who rate the dyson handhelds one star out of 5 [BEST BUY stores customers].  Or the management of the BEST BUY stores, especially the one on the east coast that sells the most dysons, and stated to me that the DC16 is the most returned of all vacuum products it sells.  First in its class all right.  If first is last.
