Description:
DC34 delivers 15 minutes of powerful, constant suction – or 6 minutes on Boost mode for tougher cleans. It's powered by the Dyson digital motor, which spins up to 5 times faster than a racing car engine. DC34 has a lithium-ion battery that recharges up to 3 times faster than others, and Dyson's patented Radix Cyclone technology for powerful suction as you vacuum.
Update: The deal is eligible for 6% Cashrewards cashback (kudos to crazynic), which brings it down to $187.06
orly?
What's the advantages of the DC58 & DC43H over this one? :)
Not much. They all suck.
:D
No, but the real question is how hard they suck? I prefer really powerful ones that can suck to my liking. It makes the "Job" much cleaner and less blow.
Battery lasts longer per charge. e.g. 20 mins for DC43H
Both the DC58 and DC43H is stronger and better specs than this one
Just how much of a difference is there between the 34 and 43 models? Is it quite significant?
It's about 30% stronger the 43 over the 34, 43 uses newer cyclone technology and it is pretty much the direct replacement of it and improves everything overrall
@cortex21: Many thanks for the info - will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the 43 as soon as a good offer comes up.
@astero: There might be even a new one soon as they are phasing it out but dont hold your breathe it coming out any time soon
This doesn't come with the stick I take it?
No, it's not a stick vac. As per Dyson Australia:
What's in the box
Guarantee information
Quick start guide
Operations manual
Mains battery charger
Battery
Combination accessory tool
Crevice tool
cool thanks
already have a dc43h but this is tempting :o
Why the hell would you buy a second one?
why the hell not at this price? ;)
At least two people do not understand the spirit of OzBargain :P
Well, this isn't exactly a torch or so. $200 spent is quite a lot considering there is absolutely no need for the product.
@liquid metal: no one needs yet another big screen TV or a new smartphone after just 1 year either…
life sucks, so there's always a need :)
@tdw:
My point was that there is a difference in spending $5 for a new torch or batteries and $200 for a vacuum or $1500 for a new TV. Ozbargain should not be Ozbrainless.
@liquid metal: aww, i know it sucks to be stuck with only buying new crees or eneloops on a whim instead of whiz-bang spacegun vacuum cleaners, so try to keep your butthurt in check and budget better next year <3
Is this safe to leave in a car when not in use?
safe or not, i wouldn't do it. heat isn't kind to lithium batteries and shortens their lifespan.
Exactly
Thank you, this looks like a very good purchase as I spend about $5 a week vacuum in my car
Don't forget 6% cashrewards.
Good one, crazynic. I'll update the post
any advantages over the DC44?
Looks very heavy.
dyson handhelds are actually not. i was amazed at how light my dc43h was (it's physically identical). it's a balanced, ergnomic design
amazed is a strong word when talking about a vacuum cleaner.
you wouldn't believe how excited i was when i bought my first dyson.
compared with the shitty hoover handhelds i've stupidly used over the years, it is
totes
amazeballs
You mean you don't love your household appliances?
It isn't.
just do 10kg dumbell curls for 2 years and you should be fine.

I bought a toaster and kettle from Target yesterday and got the 6% cashback from Cashrewards.
Are you sure a vacuum cleaner is 'electrical' and not an 'appliance'?
Be aware that the DC34 does not support motorised tools as there are no pins on the inlet to power them.
Personally I find a non motorised handheld Dyson pretty useless as their suction power is quite weak when not in MAX power. But then you only get 1/3 of the battery life :(
I've read that you can buy a 2000 mah after market battery that doubles time so 30mins for normal and 10 for boost mode from the reviews I've read.
What are you comparing the dyson handhelds to?
As far as handhelds go, these are ridiculously better than the black and decker dustbusters that I've always used before.
Plus the accessories make it more versatile than a standard fixed one
Can confirm - CASHREWARDS - Cashback on Electrical & Other: 0.75%
6 minutes on boost mode? If I buy two of them, I should be able to get my lounge suite done in one go.
Anyone know if this is a Boxing Day price? Looking to go instore and check it out before purchasing .
From $299 to $199 now, should I dream and wish for $99 by next xmas?
"Features: Machine washable"
Does that mean I can put it in the washing machine?
Only the filter is machine washable, I believe
Can i fit the dc35 stick part onto it and make it a stick vaccum?
Can anyone tell me if Dyson accessories are universal?
Already have a barrel vacuum, but the wife would like something a bit lighter for ad hoc vacs. If we could chuck on our stick from the barrel onto this, that would be awesome.
Damn. If only the stick vac was at that price. So keen on one of those..
Only 2-3 days of work to last you many many years, make the purchase!
if you needed the longer stick, buy the stick vac instead. you can't buy the longer stick as an accessory.
Do you know if you already have a stick (from a Dyson barrel vac) if it would be compatible with this?
looks like it should but best to check in-store.
Confirming that the stick from the DC35 fits this.. I've done this
It's powered by the Dyson digital motor, which spins up to 5 times faster than a racing car engine. DC34 has a lithium-ion battery that recharges up to 3 times faster than others
So it's powered by an electric motor which revolves up to five times faster than a motor car engine which is not specified and it has a lithium-ion battery that recharges up to three times faster than another battery which is not specified.
Cool specs.
They're probably used to make the consumer believe that a "digital electric motor" is a "thing" and that it's better than a "non-digital electric motor" because people think that computers and networks are magical.
Has anyone got theirs yet?
seems like a rlly good price
