Dyson handheld vacuums

[gorehaginhellsbum]

Didn't want to hijack another poster's thread so am asking all current owners....

Is it really worth paying an extra £30 for the DC31 (the blue one)?
It has dual power (70% extra suction) and 10 mins of vacuuming battery life rather than 6 mins compared to the DC30 (the yellow one).

I'm paying with nectar points but have to remember that although this is not real money, I had to spend a blooming fortune in Sainsbo's to get that £30!

Hi - I am just about to buy one and am going for the DC31 as it apparently has up to 10 mins battery life compared to 6 for the yellow one. I've seen it online for £99.99 so am going to go for that.

I have the DC30 and find it adequate for everything I need it for which is mostly hoovering out the car and doing the stairs (when I can't be bothered to lug the big Dyson out)

I think it normally lasts more than 6 minutes (it has never run out on me) but I guess that means the DC31 probably lasts more than 10.

Mine arrives tomorrow, I'm sadly quite excited!

I went for the DC30 in the end and it was £93 as I had to get it from Amazon (opposed to £125 for the DC31).
I would have bought the DC31 if I could've got it for £100.

I'm sure I'll find it does the job, it's just when an improved model appeared I got tempted.

Is my new Dyson broken?
I would get more suction doing it manually! Or I could just blow the bits and dust towards the bin.
Don't know whether to send it back

I've had one for about 2 years. It's brilliant.

My sis has just been round and said to send it back as it's not working.
I was beginning to wonder why everyone was saying they were so good!

Hooray, mine finally arrived today! It is charging now - we're all on a countdown to 6pm when it shoudl be fully charged.....then it will be a hoovering frenzy!

I find the brush bit the most useful. Can't wait to attach the car and see if it really works!

Use mine daily. just to hoover up bits of food and mess casued by 2ds's. Best thing EVER.
