Re: New Dyson model...any info?

Hi Carmine D Your welcome. Thought it might be of general interest to everyone. I'm not sure what volt battery European Cars use, UK cars use 12 volt batteries! It interesting this has come about, as it coinsides with a Boat Show they are appearing at in the UK! I asked the Dyson Rep on the Dyson stand at the Motorshow in London as I've heard rumour there is to be a corded hand held from Dyson, but I was told no what would be the point, it wouldn't be as vesitile as the cordless one! See their point but I would like to see one! The charge unit contradicts the idea that the Dyson Rep said to me and Dyson original idea for this model. Used for quick cleanups and spills. I think people are wanting to use it for longer jobs and find it easier to use therefore wanting longer than the present 6 minute charge! Hence the car charger where you can use it constantly without having to charge it up, effectively like it having a mains cord! I do like mind for quick jobs around my home and car! It comes in handy! Be interesting to see if they plan to offer different charge units! Probably not at first! DC18 |

Your welcome Venson. I know what you mean, least you get to see how it operates to a degree and the sound of it! Yes I noticed that about the Slalom but it has that air release valve not sure how much help that is to the floating effect! It will be interesting to see how light this vacuum is compared to the Freedom! Deep pile could be an issue, the brush bar wasn't much to shout about from the pictures! As for carpeting preferences in the UK (Europe tends to be hard floors, like tiles with rugs!), back in the 90's and ealry 00's laminate floor was the 'in thing'! Still is to a degree, with tiled flooring in kitchens and hallways etc.. People still have carpeting, in fact carpeting I believe in the UK is having a bit of a revival! I would say most carpets in UK homes is of medium pile. So the Slalom may cope ok! I noticed the hose on the Freedom comes out from the front, can not see the vacuum moving with the hose very easily! Simiular to one of the Vax Upright here in the UK (no longer available!) DC18 |

I read that Dyson is now going to supply the DC16 Handheld with a car charger so you don't have to wait to recharge the machine, and you can use it while it is connected to the car charger, charging. I'm not sure which model it will be included with (I think the basic DC16 model), but it mentioned the price to be £129.99 so could be the base DC16. It is going to be sold as a separate item for though who already have a DC16 at £29.99 I believe! Not seen any pictures of it yet! Just found the link: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/17125/18149/dyson-dc16-car-power-adapter.phtml DC18 |
