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.

Yes, Best Buy has it on sale this week.. Nice price -- 63 bucks. Please note that, per the BB website, it is selling as an "online only" item. The Dyson Root 6 Animal is going for $180. Venson
