DIB: Until you remove your head from James' butt, your view won't ever change. Correction of the factual nature of your post: I critiqued the Which? video and Katie Waller's demo as well as James' Youtube video with regard to the demonstrations of the DC30/31. The essence of my criticism has nothing to do with the product per se. I don't know how it will perform yet. I know the DC16 is a loser. Neither video properly addresses the concerns that buyers/users like me have with the DC16. These DC16 shortcomings are inadequate cleaning capabilities [read power] and run times for most household, garage and car chores. Especially for the most exorbitant handheld prices of any on the market that is until now. As I said, I want a demo that provides positive proof that the latest and greatest [and most expensive] is indeed better than the DC16 loser. The videos don't provide that proof. The presence of a $2.00 litter picker adjacent to a revolving brush roll [which is Venson's point not mine] does not convince me. In fact, it provides evidence to the contrary from James himself. Are you with me yet? On a positive note, the larger image of the lovely lady demonstrating the B&D Flexi that you posted is proof positive that for the price [$180, if she comes with the B&D Flexi, it is worth the money and I would buy. Now, please explain to me what part of that comment, which I posted above, has anything whatsoever to do with being anti-dyson? Or did you miss the point of that post as you do so many others here because your head is still stuck in a location where the sun never shines? Carmine D.

BTW: 56 years in the business to be correct. 42 years a vacuum store owner and operator. 14 years as an industry consultant. But who's counting except you? Now, how many years do you have in the vacuum business? Or any business at all. Or do you slave [I mean work] for a boss/es? Carmine D.

If the B&D Flexi comes with the lady using it for $180, it's definitely worth the price and I'd buy one. Carmine D. HI CARMINE
Heck id buy a dyson if she came with it....now that would justify the price. Still early, but kinda seems steep in price for a B&D vacuum....no cord option either or [lighter plug in ]...no charge complete light...i like the look of it and seems more apt to do better in tight spots....but i kinda see it has having the same problems as the dyson....price -cord opt -run time......just my view, but i see the no cord opt [home -auto ]as the biggest problem with the battery handvacs......adding this option would make these vacs more universal..and make the price more appealing in todays economy.

WRT your "soup" question about the moving lamp shade, perhaps it is connected to a stationary extension tube? One that doesn't move. Did that thought/possibility ever cross your mind? Carmine D. No, because the typical lamp style cord is clearly visible. And no, because hard wiring would not typically allow a lamp to be pushed/tilted ever-so slightly and with little preasure (the lamp no longer rests at a right angle to the hanging cord). And no, because hard wiring a paper or cloth lamp and the costs associated with this is overkill. DIB

DIB...you win..i like what comes with the dyson better.....she makes me wanna vacuum the house! ...write it off as-my youth an lack of common sence has impared my ability to make rational decisions. turtle1
Hi 'turtle1'
I'd say her hair is as fake as the claim that the dyson handheld she's holding is worth the money. Carmine D.

The B&D Flexi isn't even turned on. The lovely lady is merely posing and holding the hose with dusting brush to simulate it's usage. Did that thought/possibilty ever enter your mind? Carmine D.
