I always struggle to find quality gifts for our parents from year to year. My dad in particular already has everything, so I like to try to find something he will love but might not buy for himself. And for all the husbands out there, typically appliances are a no-no for gifts for the ladies on your list. Let me tell you, Dyson is the exception to this rule!
I was very excited to try out the new handheld Dyson DC31. Since we have a toddler, an infant and a 100 lb dog- keeping the floors clean is a never ending struggle. This vacuum is pretty impressive- it is extremely lightweight and lets face it- it just looks cool. I have other handheld vacuums and they don’t even come close. This baby has serious power! In fact, according to James Dyson, this has a motor 5 times faster than a Formula 51 race car engine!
Wat does that mean for you?
- It has a ten minute run time and it will have constant suction for the entire 10 minutes.
- It has a little button that will open the bottom to easily empty the contents. I LOVE this feature as it is so clean and easy. With my old handheld I always had to clean the filter- which was constantly getting blocked. With the Dyson handheld you just push the button and you are done!
- The DC31 charges super fast! I literally plugged it in for just a few minutes and it was ready to go.
- When I say lightweight, I mean really lightweight- just 3 pounds!
I really put this to the test and can tell you it is a miracle worker on high chairs, upholstery, all those hard to reach corners, baseboards etc.. I especially loved how well it cleans the car- particularly car seats! We have a short haired dog and it can be really difficult to clean pet hair. This Dyson had no trouble getting it up- especially pet hair on the sofa. You can find the Dyson for $149 at Amazon.com or $149 at Target.com. It comes with a 2 year warranty so you can rest assured it will last for a long time. This was the first Dyson for our family and I can tell you we will be buying the upright very soon. I was extremely impressed with this product and even better I actually felt like the time I spent cleaning- thoroughly cleaned the house. With my old handheld I would put all the effort into cleaning and walk away feeling like I only did a superficial job.
This is the perfect gift for the hard to shop for person on your list. The DC31 was just released in September and is already selling out in many stores.
