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. |

As usual you read with dyson color glasses. The article points out all the same cons mentioned here aleady that rattled you up when posted: Bin capacity, battery life and price. "Only" as in 6 minutes with full power is not a "nice" feature, it's a big bad negative. What's that about advising others to take a reading comprehension course? Maybe you should too! Like I say: Remove the timber from your eye before you criticize the splinter in your neighbor's eye. Carmine D. The DC31 was given 4 of 5 stars and the review reads... 1) "...can run at 104,000rpm and sucked like a face hugger from Aliens in our tests". 2) "...but when it comes to shifting dirt speedily and efficiently the Dyson DC31 blows away the competition". You reported the negative only and omitted the positive. You have a credibility issue and quoting scripture can't fix it. DIB

DIB No DIB, quoting scripture, as in knowing the Word, is only half the mission. The other half is putting it into practice in our daily lives. What you should have said was that this DC31 review is balanced, pointing out the good and bad. Nice is not a good description for a new product review. It gives the wrong impression. After all these years here and reading my posts to you, you disappoint me just like Dave dyson. Carmine D.

<BR> Does the Dyson have an extension hose to allow you to get into tight spaces? While I haven't used one, the Dyson looks awkward to use in the tight spaces of a car. I much prefer a canister vacuum, preferably with a small motorized brush. It would seem that the Dyson would get heavy since all of the weight is in your hands while you clean, compared to a canister vac in which you only hold the hose and/or tools. </p><p>Instead of a toy handheld, give us a small canister/shop vac with cyclone technology for $100 to clean out the car. <BR> <BR> My God, Severus what do you want? A practical machine? Something that might appear to be worth the money asked; tne price of a fairly decent straight suction canister vacuum? Those guys just don't think that way. They like hanging out on the lunatic about a pint-sized battery run machine that has what the whole world needs -- "cyclonics". I wish I was on whatever they're on. Best, Venson

Or perhaps a bagless vac-shop tupe cann with hose/attachments and a handheld side kick bagless for quick pickups in cordless and corded modes [with a cordwinder]. Now that's innvovation, not this other sugar coated dyson bull shine pawned off as high tech innovation. Captures all the markets: garages, workshops, cars, boats, handy-men, quick cleanups around the house, etc. For the price of the DC31, am I asking too much? Come on dyson and your 475 high paid engineers, get creative and practical for change. You might actually get a mega winner for real. Not just in the minds and eyes of your paid product pushers.
