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.

Doesn't bode well for dyson for the long haul.  I know several indies who tell customers with dysons in and out of warranty to send them back to dyson.  They don't like the product, the company, or its founder.  Freedom of choice is the indies right.  Dyson needs the indies more than the indies need dyson.

Yes another DC31 review

Thanks Ace.

Not a very impressive review.  And laclluster performance for a DC31 at $220 and $270.  Leaving enough cat hair behind to look like a clean up job is still needed.  Very disappointing.  Dyson buyers/users are getting use to that with the existing crop of dyson products to date.  That's right I said crop.  But only one vowel different from the job it did on the cat hair.

The first thing I noticed was the lint picking strip on the model with the powered brushroll. That should not be necessary if the brushroll and vacuum itself are effective.

If you 86’d your victim-entitlement mentality you would not feel like the manufacturers of out-of-reach products and “the man” are keeping you down.

Anyone who thinks the latest from dyson is a hit and worth the green is stuck too far in the deep end of the manure heap.  Most recognize the sight and smell before they step in.  You wallow in it and have no idea.

Hi Venson:

Apparently you did not see the aesthetic value in the strip!  Dyson and James often confuse the worthless value of form over the practical consideration of substance in his products.  As practical minded people with an eye for dollar value, we have to appreciate the aesthetics of dyson's innovative products [using a litter picker with a revolving brush] even if the performace for the price is belly busting laughable.

Claiming Dyson’s products are priced out-of-reach (DC30 @ $270) and should not be considered a worthwhile buy - All the while you support your buddies exclusive products and territories (a monopoly) of so-called high end vacuums (cough) that cost anywhere from $500-$1200 is an old trick and an old con.
