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.

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.

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.

Best option is to actually buy it and try it. I tried the first Dyson hand held and wasn't impressed with its bulky size. Good suction it has but plenty of noise with it too.
Hello Vacmanuk:
Did you keep/return the DC16? Carmine D.

Hello 'turtle1'
After 37 years of marriage, my dear Wife doesn't have to tell me when to take out trash. By the way, you may want to take out that fake lady and dyson with the trash. When you get to W*M take note of what handhelds it stocks and sells. Let us know please if dyson is there for sale. I'm thinking not. Carmine D.

Hello 'turtle1'
Happy Wife, happy life. In all things including vacuums! It's silly that a woman would pose with a dyson handheld in a weapon like stance almost like a trophy. Clever marketing strategy, perhaps. Most women loath the earlier DC16 tool-like hand held design, limited clean-ups due to the short run time constraints, noise etc. More a man's toy but very impratical for most men, especially handy men, due to the short run time [5 minutes] and too high prices [$150-$200]. After 3 years most manufacturers would address all these shortcomings/issues in the new redesign and models, especially at the higher prices. But dyson's DC30/31 leaves me with many doubts. More importantly, I shared my dear Wife's perspective on the DC16 in the past. Persuading her now on the DC30/31 would be a HARDSELL at the current prices. More likely an impossibity. Carmine D.
