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.

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.

Ask HS to throw you his extra life preserver to prevent you from sinking in your own dyson made manure myths.

Everyone should have a hobby.  Mine is exposing the deceptive practices of dishonest little men (a segment of vac shop owners, their employees and the bad-mouthing collectors).

I know the reason you call it a hobby, DIB.  There is no money in it for you.  It's a losing proposition.  Like the latest 5-10 minute operating time on dyson's hand held for $220-$270, not counting the $60 for the attachments.

If you happen to be a consumer reports.com subscriber, you can see their ratings of hand vacs at the following link:
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/laundry-and-cleaning/vacuum-cleaners/small-vacuum-ratings/ratings-overview.htm

The Dyson DC16 is one of the products rated.  It ranks 8 out of the 12 products tested.   It got fairly good marks, but unfortunately, the very short battery life seriously limits it's usefulness.  Apparently it's a bit of a screamer too in terms of its sound level.
