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. |

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.

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.
DIB Out of reach...nah...its called commonsence / or go to big lots and dust off the dysons / handhelds that arent moving.....and if your the sucker that [reached] paid over $25 for one...then the true victim here is you.......so stop the babble and face the facts....dyson is counting on niche collectors to buy his products...and you came thru.- one born every minute....and once again you came thru.....-dyson gave you and so many ...the shaft... everybody else has moved on...but your still waiting for a kiss from dyson that isnt coming.....-were only here to help you dib....-your our favorite collector-.... were always looking out for you...your posts/ replies have kinda become our little hobby.

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.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

HS: ORECK is still stuck in your craw. First, you are mistating the facts. There are 40 uprights tested. Second, you can't go by the numerical ranking. Obviously you either didn't read SEVERUS's post to DIB, the sour puss, in which he said dyson DC28 tied with KIRBY on the numerical score of 67 for the 10th spot. But either due to d coming before K or CR's generosity it gave the 10 spot to dyson. I think it was a sympathy call. Now back to your mistated facts. ORECK scored a numerical score of 60 along with several others including dyson's DC18. The top score, as SEVERUS pointed out to you already, is 73. The bottom score [number 40] is 39. So, doing the math, and using the CR curve with 73 as the best, ORECK scored in the 82 percentile for uprights. Now, I'm sure even you can understand this. Carmine D. |

Could you give those same type statixtics for the DC31?
