Product Description

Manufacturer's Description



DC31

DC31 is the most powerful handheld with no loss of suction, and one of the latest generation of Dyson handhelds. The dual power mode on DC31 gives 10 minutes of constant high suction for large cleans, or 6 minutes at 70% higher suction for stubborn dirt.

This Dyson handheld comes with a combination accessory tool with wide debris nozzle to pick up crumbs and large particles or convert to a brush tool for dusting delicate surfaces and computer keyboards. It also includes a crevice tool for cleaning skirting boards, picture rails and in-between furniture. The 22.2V lithium-ion battery in DC31 recharges up to three times faster than others.

DC31 is powered by the new Dyson digital motor, which is smaller, lighter and more power-efficient than conventional electric motors.


Patented Dyson technology
The technology that makes up the Root cyclone
Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction.

Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology work better. As they work, they file patent applications to protect their inventions from copycat manufacturers. That’s why the only place you’ll find Dyson technology is inside a Dyson machine.


DC31 includes:

Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction
Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners use patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins the air at incredibly high speeds. The cyclones inside a Dyson handheld generate centrifugal forces many thousands of times the force of gravity. Dust, dirt and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the clear bin, with no loss of suction.

Dyson digital motor – smaller, lighter, more power-efficient
DC31 is powered by a new type of intelligent Dyson digital motor. They're smaller, lighter and faster than conventional electric motors, and because they don't rely on carbon brushes, there are no carbon dust emissions.

The Dyson digital motor in the new generation of Dyson handhelds spins at up to 104,000 rpm – that's five times faster than the engine of a Formula 1 racing car.

Dual power mode
There are times when you need extra power for tough cleans. DC31 has dual power mode that gives you the option of 10 minutes of constant high suction (38 Airwatts) or 6 minutes of 70% higher suction (65 Airwatts) – ideal for both longer jobs and tough spot-cleans – just push the button. And because DC31 uses Dyson's patented Root Cyclone technology, it doesn't lose suction.

Lightweight and ergonomic
The Dyson digital motor in DC31 is lighter than conventional electric motors, reducing the overall weight of DC31 to just 1.3kg. And because it's smaller and lighter than other motors it can be positioned for balanced weight distribution, making DC31 much easier to handle.

ENERGY STAR® qualified battery charging system
ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that helps consumers protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. The latest generation of Dyson handhelds use a battery charging system that qualifies under the ENERGY STAR® program, helping you reduce your environmental impact.

No extra costs
Other handheld vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement filters – and the cost soon adds up. DC31 uses patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins dust and dirt from the air and straight into the bin. And because it uses a Dyson digital motor, there are no carbon dust emissions. With no filters to replace, there are no extra costs to worry about.

Clear bin lets you see when it needs emptying
The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying – and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your new Dyson machine has picked up. Emptying is quick and hygienic – just press the button to release the dirt.

2 year parts and labour guarantee
Your Dyson handheld is likely to take a few knocks and bashes during everyday use – but that’s nothing compared to what Dyson puts its machines through during testing and development. All Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners undergo a lengthy and rigorous testing program. That’s why all Dyson handhelds come with a free 2 year guarantee – parts and labour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mini-marvel - with limitations due to battery life, 6 Sep 2009
By Big Bertha (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum with Dual Power Mode (Latest Generation) (Kitchen & Home)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
The DC31 is a handheld mini-marvel, weighing less than a standard bag of sugar it fits nicely in your hand, comes with a brush tool and a crevice tool and is great for all those little jobs around the house.

The lithium battery will give 10 minutes use on normal power or 6 minutes on the high power setting and after repeated use I'd say those timings are pretty accurate. Although 10 minutes may not sound long, it's long enough for things like cleaning the car, the stairs, the curtains, the sofa or picking up those crumbs from the kitchen floor - the list lengthens as I find more and more uses for it.

As a couple of other reviewers have said it's a terrific and humane fly catcher - it's also great for creepy crawlies. This time of year monster sized spiders seem to find their way into my house. I saw one on the stairs the other day so big it was climbing up them two at a time - grabbed my DC31 and whoosh in it went, I just took it outside released the catch and out it fell and ran away into the bushes (probably planning its re-entry as I type this)

This really is a fabulous gadget (if a somewhat expensive one) and after having it a couple of weeks I'm finding myself using it more and more as it's so easy to just grab it rather than lugging the main vacuum (a full size Dyson) out of the cupboard. It's very easy to use, just grab it and press the trigger action button on the handle. To empty just press the release catch and the bottom drops open to deposit your waste. It isn't a replacement for a vacuum cleaner but it's an extremely useful extra. The limitations set by the battery life and recharge time (3 hours) are the only downside that I can see.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some Improvement on DC16 but with limitations, 6 Sep 2009
By Paul S. Ell (NI, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum with Dual Power Mode (Latest Generation) (Kitchen & Home)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I own a previous incarnation of a Dyson handheld vacuum cleaner and in some ways the DC31 has several improvements. First, it is significantly smaller and lighter. Second, it offers two power settings whereas the DC16 had only one. Third, the style is - in a Dyson way - a little more attractive.

Some problems that were present with the DC16 remain however. Battery life remains appalling with a maximum usage time of 10 minutes with a three-hour charge then required. Using the higher suction option the battery life is reduced further. Although lighter than the DC16 the DC31 is still not a light machine. In some ways it's a benefit that the battery only lasts for 10 minutes as, if you are cleaning blinds for example, your arm will be aching holding it for any longer. It is smaller but is still bulky and for use in difficult-to-access areas such as cleaning a car it is simply too large to get the suction nozzle into position. This is worsened still as the basic tools the DC31 comes with do not extend very far.

And one or two things I think are worse. The DC16 came with a charger stand which rather neatly could be screwed to a wall for good storage. The DC31 doesn't and has to be left plugged in to a socket on the back of the DC31. This means a mess of wires in a kitchen or utility room work surface. Second, the battery is heavier to get the additional power from the handheld for a full six minutes, or 10 at the lower power setting. I'm not sure this is an improvement. Further, the new motor unit much flagged by Dyson seems to offer no advantages. The vacuum has a two-year guarantee as did the DC16 so if the new motor is a step change in quality why is a five-year warranty not being offered as with some other Dyson products?

Overall I was going to give this vacuum four stars but having re-read the review, and reflecting the cost of the unit, it's gone down to three.

As James Dyson is responsive to customer reviews and has proposed a consultative business model, it would be good to have feedback from him on the Amazon site.

This review is from: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum with Dual Power Mode (Latest Generation) (Kitchen & Home)
This hand held battery Dyson is light weight and very efficient. The onlu downside is that the battery always takes several hours to recharge. It useful for dusting as the filter in it is very effective.
