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.

You know DIB, all companies say this.  It's the party line.  None practice it.  They all hire from their competition.  In fact it's viewed as a victory to hire away the competition's best and brightest.  James is no different.

Hoover did not last long as competition.  Dyson busted em.

Bright Hoover engineer is an oxymoron.  Like I said James did not want them as the had nothing to offer.

You're right.  If talent and experience and knowledge are viewed as nothing to offer, it's understandable that dyson sells a toy handheld with 6 minute charge for close to $300 and thinks it's innovative.  As the reviews said: Pricey, small bin, short battery charge.  What part of this is innovative beside the price?

The 6 minute run time.  May be a first in the industry. 

Or does it only take 6 minutes to charge vs hrs. to charge?

HARDSELL wrote:

For $300, you're right!  Remember even in low suction mode it's approximate 10 minute time is shorter than the less expensive handhelds on the market today.  Sorry, doesn't get the prize except for highest price.

Hello Venson and hello to your alter ego...  Severus.  Who you kiddin?

If you compare apples to apples (performance of cordless handhelds), NOTHING COMES CLOSE to the DC31/31's performance.  Forget about price, can you name cordless handheld that outperforms this vacuum?  And Dyson owns the world wide rights or he owns the world wide exclusive.  No other competitor can touch Dyson's weight to power, the patented DDM, the patented and best packaged (small) hi/low cyclonic’s no-clogging dust separators (the DC16 is a phenomenal filtering machine), the patented pistol grip.  Pistol grips are standards in the construction and DIY industry because it's the best place to hold onto to maneuver and point.

Carmine, no argument when I think you are right.  This may be the 2nd time we have agreed.

I believe someone eluder to preferring a canister (full sized I assume) with attachments. That is not always practical as some mentioned no electrical outlets where the vac was needed.

I have a Euro pro plug in (hand Held) that will remove dirt, dust, pebbles and such as good or better than any full size I have used.  It is a pain in the arsh to beat the dust out of the cloth bag and the heppa screen bag is a bigger pain to clean.
