So I must admit I see every little crumb on the floor, even if its a across the house, I know it is there.  One thing you might have realized about me from a prevoius post is that I am a huge fan of vacuums.  So much so that I have given two friends handheld vacuums for their wedding gifts, and one Christmas a vacuum cleaner was actually my present underneath the tree!  And in case you may be wondering about how tactless my husband is, I actually thought it was the greatest gift ever.

I consider myself a vacuum connoisseur – an expert in the field.  This is the main reason I was thrilled to give Dyson’s newest handheld vacuum (released in September 2009), the DC31, a try. Upon opening the box, I was intriguied by the lightweight feel and the small, pettite size of this handheld.  I have two other handhelds and both weigh considerably more (yes, I did say I have TWO other handhelds).  Nevertheless, the weight and size of the vac were no indication of its power. After a really quick charge, I gave the motor and suction a try. I might have actually shouted out the lyrics to Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together (the part that expressing “I’m so in love with you.” ) This little gadget is AMAZING.  James Dyson and his team of engineers have actually created the fastest, most power-efficient motor I have ever experienced in a handheld vacuum!  I read that it spins up to 104,000rpm, which is actually five times faster than a Formula 1 race car engine.  Now I am no engineer, but to me, that’s pretty FAST.

In my home, the DC31 has performed miracles…

• in my daughter’s highchair
• around the cat’s litter box
• in the car (especially betwwen the seats, along the foor and in the car seat
• in small areas I have not been able to get dusting or with a larger size vacuum
• for quick kitchen clean ups (after snack, after cooking, picking up crumbs, etc.)

I did a search around the internet of places you can get this AMAZING companion. After only a month out on the market, I was suprised to find the DC31 sold out in some major markets – it must be popular!
