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.

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.

So true Carmine.  Nothing better than a loving wife, kids, family and friends.  All the material things just do not compare.

The new B&D "Flex" (FHV1200) is, after all, available. Price run, as far as I've discovered, is 70 to 90 bucks and the FHV1200's ace in the hole is its dishwasher safe filter. Mind you, I am sure that there are those who quake at the thought of using the family diswasher to clean a vacuum filter but it sounds nice to me. The B&D link follows. Be sure to click on the "View All Photos" link.

Hi Venson:

$70-$90 for the B&D Flex:  Excellent price, thanks for the info.  Don't even need the lovely lady come with for that price.  AND I can buy it without the War Department's approval.
