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.

PS:  HS: Not to mention that the DB costs $30 not $150, $200, and $300.

I came across the following on YouTube. This vacuum test is by Popular Mechanics not by CR.

I have owned a DustBuster.  One of the first with no hose.  I do not care for that type.  Yes, small and out of sight.  That doesn't relinquish that it occupies space and needs to be plugged in at all times.

I contacted DustBuster with your comments.  After I was passed around to a number of persons all having difficulty speaking [lot's of belly laughing heard in the background] a very nice old Jewish customer service representative finally got on the phone.  She said that until the vacuum industry invents a weightless, massless, hand held vacuum that is invisible to the human eye and nukes dust into thin air without a trace of debris left behind, you have to accept the physical and energy limitations of the DustBuster.  On the bright side, she said, you can always find your current DustBuster whenever you need it.

Now if the DC31 Animal came with this with all these accessories then that's another story...
