Was checking the interwebs for a good price on a Dyson handheld cleaner and found this one.
The DC34 Animal sells normally for $269-$289 and at the moment at least at Masters its only $5 more than the non-animal version.
Radix cyclone technology
Dyson digital motor which is up to 3 times faster than conventional motors
Dual power mode - 15 minutes of high constant suction
6 minutes of MAX power for more difficult tasks
Powerful motorised brush bar removes pet hair from upholstery and stairs
LED battery indicator
Direct charging
Lightweight and ergonomic
Hygenic one-touch bin emptying
Lithium-ion battery to release charge evenly with no drop off
Recharges up to three times faster than others
Pretty good price for a handheld dyson. Might have to weight it off between the DC44 but I was very happy with the DC34 multifloor I bought through HN couple of months back. Paid 289 for it then.
