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.

The DC16 does score higher on Amazon than the DD you picture. HS:
True but get real. Dyson's handheld for $200 [and now even more] price tag is the highest price for a handheld in the vacuum industry. It merits a 3.5 star rating out of a possible 5. That's mediocre and laughable. Highest price should command highest rating. The DD Ultra on the other hand for $29.95 scores 2.5 stars. At least DD gives buyers/users theri money's worth for the purchase. This is what matters to consumers. They want their money's worth out of their vacuum purchases. Carmine D.

DIB: It's taken me a dozen or more posts to drive home a point to you which you obviously have not up to this point comprehended. The answer to one moot, contrived, restricted, and very limited clean up application question that you ask about one product versus another product does not and never will in and of itself provide the best and final choice for users' vacuum purchases. Tell me you are starting to get this point. So I can reduce my number of posts here for your needed reading and edification. It's not that hard. If a 6 year old gets it without any difficulty, certainly there's hope too for you! Carmine D.

Carmine - I don't think this comparison is valid for your argument. Those are store ratings, not product ratings. Notice how the Amazon score / number of reviews is identical across both products?
