    @Project_J187: NOTHING beats a Kirby. Mine is 30 years old and still works great. I'd like to see a plastic Dyson hold up anywhere near as long as my all cast aluminum Kirby Tradition. I even took the time to sand the housing with some 1,000 grit and polish it last year. No vacuum looks as good as a freshly polished Kirby.

    @Jim-Bob: My mom had an old Kirby, and yes, it was an attractive beast, but now way did it pick up dirt like a Dyson. I'll take performance over looks when it comes to vacuums.

    Sadly, that runtime gets even shorter after a couple of years of ownership. Mine has a major case of poor battery memory and after 3 years, I can get maybe 3 minutes of pulsing suction (squeeze...runs briefly...battery dies...squeeze again...runs a little more...dies) before the sucker dies on me completely. At $75!! for a replacement battery, I'll sadly be taking my money elsewhere once this sucker finally gives out (which is too bad, because it kicks ass when it does work).

    I own a DC07 as well and have been very impressed w/ Dyson's build quality up till this purchase.

    I got a vacuum-powered cat hair brush attachment from whoever the hell makes the Shark that does about the same job getting cat hair off the couch and it cost $30.

    I own a Dyson upright, (yellow DC07) and while expensive, it has proven to be extremely durable and powerful. I am continually surprised by the people who say they are a waste of money. The filters are washable, mitigating the expense of replacing them, and about 80% of the unit is a durable snap-fit making it extremely easy to tear down if you need to unclog fibers, hair, etc.

    Although this hand vac is too rich for my blood, I would certainly trust it to be as durable and powerful as my upright. Kudos to Dyson for applying Maximum Cleverosity to such a mundane item, and making my cleaning chores a lot easier.

    I wonder what else a 100,000RPM motor can be used for? Hacking this thing may yield interesting results.

    Miniature electric turbo fans anyone?

    That's just Li Li, my long time television and companda.
    I won her from David Bowie in a trivia contest in oh, 80-81. This was long before the big trivia craze, mind you.

    Don't Dyson's get panned fairly regularly in professional reviews? I mean, to the point that in tests they perform worse than vacuums that cost half the price, etc.

    @Claytons: You know, if you spent 5-10x what a simple upright can do (for $80), you certainly wouldn't admit that you are a tool for Dyson, would you?


    I do not own a dyson vacuum. Nor would I until they are half their price, and don't look like some kid's nerf toy.


    (Since Dyson diss'd me on a suggestion to make a filter-less shopvac, I'm jaded. Tell me you don't think there is a market there!)
