RAT, suppose it had been the same as it is - a 5-6 minute run time - but also had the option of running it on a cord from a 12V transformer plugged into the wall, or from a cigarette lighter socket?

With the fact that most Dyson uprights have a hard floor setting now to switch off the agitator, would it not be sensible to incorporate beater bars/nodules into the agitator, to give carpets the bloody good beating they are sorely missing?

I came across this one poster's review of the DC16 hand held and thought it was very well written and informative.  
 
Since the reviewer is a self-professed dyson fan (unlike me), I thought it was a "Fair and Reasonable" review to post on this thread.  To balance out the perspective of the reviewers' negative criticism of yet another overpriced dyson failed product.  
 
I was especially interested by the user's account of his  pet's reaction to the dyson's.  My English lab, who you would assume have an inclination to like dyson, ran from the room whenever she saw the DC07 pink, especially during use.  I presumed it was the gawdawful ratcheting noises that were the cause.  But maybe not.  In any event unlike the poster who returned his DC16 to BEST BUY (as you will learn many others did) I gifted my DC07 away.  
 
Ironically whenever I use my other vacuums, including my HOOVER FloorMate, my lab is right there to help out.  (Fortunately the FM dries the ceramic tile floor very well or I would have little doggie paws all over my finished floor.  We live in the desert and my lab still forgets on occasion to clean her paws when she enters the house).

Carl,
 
Your solution would actually make more sense.

The other option would have been to make the battery packs removable and interchangable with some popular brand of cordless drill like DeWalt or Makita. Then the owner of the drill, who always has a charged battery pack or two would be a natural buyer, plus they could second-source the product with the other brand-name. They could also have then sold it without a battery pack or charger for a lot less, and would probably have moved a lot more units.

Carl:
 
What do you think the marketing fate of the DC16 will be?  Other dyson fans are welcomed to answer too!  
 
Many retailers, like SEARS, dumped the DC16 early on.  BEST BUY stores plan to do the same and held out longer because of its exclusive alliance with dyson.  The DC16 is disappearing from other retailer shelves too due to lack of interest and sales.  
 
It's interesting to go back and read some of the posts on the Forum when the product launched just months ago with much fanfare and enthusiasm.  Fortunately for ease of reading, all the posts are confined to one thred on the DC16.  A quick read.
 
What's does the future hold in store for dyson's hand held?

Kind of funny as Sears has yet to carry the DC16 in their stores.  Or is this another one of your purposeful mistruths to "punk" someone.

Hello JimB:
 
Several of the SEARS GRAND store locations did "try-out" sales of the DC16 (to test the market demand) before going store-wide.  Obviously, you know the result.  Wink

I see it is a cordless hand vac. It is not supposed to lose suction. So far I have not seen a cordless that could retain its full performance for very long . I will wait to see for myself when it comes out.

 
Called exactly right!  The two primary reasons for SEARS dumping the DC16.  The 3-5 minute run time and the $149 price are its demise.
