Review

A lot of users loved this magnificent cleaning equipment. Since the DC31 is cordless, you can easily focus into your cleaning without worrying much on coils and other stuff. In fact, one of the customers says that this equipment is a “joy to use”. Even bringing the machine at work to clean! This machine is great for cleaning wood floors, floor trim, vent covers and smooth floors.

Most users only have high praises with the battery life of the Dyson DC31. They were impressed that its battery stayed charged for the time expressed in the promotion which was good enough to complete the job. Compared to other battery packs, the lithium-ion battery is great as it charges for only three hours making it even better than other standard batteries that require sixteen hours to re-charge.

More customers were even excited about the overall look and feel of the equipment. Weighing at only 2.9 lbs, this vacuum cleaner is very convenient to carry around your home and does not consume much space in your storage.

Even the accessories included in the package gained high ratings. Customers were pleased of the combination tool with the brush to loosen the tenacious dirt. And they also liked the strip placed behind the intake created to tackle cussed fibers and clinging hairs of pet to your furniture without excessive scrubbing.

A lot of people though the crevice tool was perfect for skirting and in places difficult to access. Moreover, they were amazed with the way the tools locked in place without any wobbling.

Overall, the Dyson DC31 may be pricey, but it is totally worth it.

The Dyson DC31 Animal handheld vacuum is a perfect choice for vacuuming in inaccessible spaces, smaller shag rugs and furniture. It only weighs 3.37 pounds and with suction suitable for its size. This equipment was specifically manufactured with pet owners in mind.

Since it is a cordless machine, it stimulated both pros and cons as it was depicted in vacuum reviews from various sources online such as Amazon, Home Depot and Epinions. One of the areas scrutinized by consumers is the battery life.

Its battery can last up to 10 minutes in heavy usage which is quite longer than its previous models, but is still too short for some consumers. There are some consumers who appreciated the on-off switch which was designed to conserve battery power when not in use. However, there are also some who find this area slightly inconvenient. When used correctly, the on-off switch can help extend the battery life to an extra 10 minutes.

When buying handheld cordless vacuum, there is always tradeoff on the battery life, battery size and power. Older version of handheld cordless vacuums is characterized by short battery life and its short suction, no matter what its brand is.

As the motor design and battery technology have improved, as has the performance and functioning of most handheld vacuums. Well designed product aims for optimal balance and the three pound vacuum with ten minutes battery life is preferably great to consumers compared to 6 pound version that has battery life of 10 to 20 minutes.

When purchasing a handheld cordless vacuum, it makes a lot of sense to know what you want and what you are getting. Some consumers commented that people buying this device may have unrealistic expectations.

Apart from the criticism it received in its battery life, the price could be a letdown to budget conscious individuals. For some consumers, handheld vacuum device that retail from $219 to $269 as in the case with Dyson DC31 is considered expensive.

One might contend in this case what they pay for is power and with no power shortage with this cleaning device. It comes with two power settings, regular and high suction for jobs that require intensive clean-up. Cost wise, Dyson products are more expensive, but most reviews on vacuum cleaner indicate that consumers who prefer this product get the value for their money.

If there is an inconvenience that you will find in this product, it is the fact that the DC31 does not have a spare battery. The 3 ½ hour battery charging time can be quite long to wait in between vacuuming sessions. But if efficiently used and charged ahead of time, it is a powerful machine and great for stairs, furniture, auto upholstery and nooks and crannies and at the same time excels in picking up pet hair.

The features that you can expect from this product include a dual-power digital that does not emit carbon dust and vacuum smell. It also has a 0.09 galloon canister capacity that comes with an easy dump feature. The dimension of this product is 8 inches wide, 12.7 inches high, 4.5 inches deep and with attachable brush and crevice tool. The Dyson DC31 carries a 2 year warranty.
