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.

Your wife must be an EASYSALE. Why else would she marry you?

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. http://www.blackanddecker.com/productguide/product-details.aspx?productid=21410&toolview=5# The following link is for price verification only: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-FHV1200-Flex-Vac/dp/B002FQJW4W/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1252871173&sr=1-18 Venson

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Clever marketing strategy, perhaps. ... Carmine D. I don't know if you're a James Bond fan, but James "the inventor" Dyson, sometimes reminds me of Q. If James is going along with the charade, the girl is merely pretending to be a Bond girl with gun and all.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.
