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.

I keep telling you:  Before you criticize the splinter in your neighbor's eye, remove the timber from your own.

Where's your proof now DIB?  Can't  back up your words can you?

I’m fine with Mike’s explanation, no one lost face, not even me.  Like I said, you've got nose trouble.

Actually DIB, as I explained here on several occasions, I have an extra keen sense of smell.  Fragrance and perfume counters are my forte.  Then again you can't smell the wondrous fragrances in nature if you have your nose so far up a part of James' anatomy where the sun never shines.

While you may think you haven't lost face, you bit off your nose to spite your face.  You have falsely accused two of the most honorable gentlemen posters here on the Forum: Venson and Severus.  When they challenged you, you cowered like a scared chicken and ran to the Forum administrator for assistance.  Then given the proof that you were wrong did not do the right thing by apologizing for your errors.  Even worse than being a dyson pawn here is to have no scruples and integrity in the exercise of your pawn duties.

That's right.  Says me.  Unlike you here, I speak for myself not Sir James.  And I call it like it is.  DC31 for $250-$300 not counting a $60 set of attachments is an insult to the handhelds of the vacuum industry today.  I suspect the only ones ever to get sold will be the ones that gifted away to dyson pawns and then resold for a fraction of the price in the after market sales.  What do you think?  Never mind.  Don't answer.  You'll give the dyson party line: sugar coated bull shine.

Retardturtle,

Don’t think all think like you do, or have the financial constraints or financial beliefs you do.  There’s plenty who want the best and can easily afford or justify paying for something RADICALLY BETTER THAN ANYTHING in its [cordless handled/no loss of suction] class.

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...

So DIB,

How many Dyson hand helds do you plan to buy?  Will you be handing them out as Christmas presents this year?

*******   

As an aside, I wonder who actually buys most hand held vacuums.  Dirt Devil typically does heavy advertising at Christmas.    I suspect that most are purchased as gifts.  You need a gift for someone who seems to have everything, so you buy something like a hand held vacuum for $25-$75, the cheaper the better. 

If you already own a Dyson, you have  a vacuum with better suction and  tools  than a little hand vac.  In fact, Dyson seems to pride itself on having nice attachments.   You've got to be a real Dyson enthusiast to buy a hand held Dyson.  I suspect that you'd have to have much more money than sense to buy one.  Again, these Dysons are designed as pieces of art to be put in a display case.  Sales will be dismal given the current economic conditions. 

I hope that James can count on DIB to boost his sales of Dyson hand vacs this Christmas.  Otherwise it will be a very blue Christmas at the Dyson house.

Hello turtle1 & Severus:

I agree with you.  James is in a fantasy land not the real world.

For a supposed loyal dyson advocate here who purchased one and only display dyson, a DC15, years ago from BEST BUY for $300 on clearance, I can't/don't see DIB giving many $300 dyson handhelds as Christmas gifts, even to himself.  The only way he'd get one is to talk it up here and hope/pray that James/dyson gifts him one for his efforts.

i see your point..but just cause you paid top dollar doesnt mean your getting top dollar...  it just means they found a group of people to pay that high price... Financial constraints....we all have them in some way or another ,well [most of us]do.,...say you pay $600 for certain product....i pay $150 for  one that lasts just as long-just as durable-same or better perf...at a fraction of the cost.....best bang for the buck.  you paid more  but didnt get more....my financial beliefs are simple. i believe id rather put my money in the bank and save for the future  , shop smarter.....and not overspend....a little [ self ] financial constraint  goes a long way in todays economy.
