 So glad I invested in this hand vac November 19, 2009

This unit is quiet, powerful, and sucks up my German "Shedders" hair in a jiffy. I have three sets of carpeted stairs in my house, and it's so wonderful to whip this light-weight machine out and take care of all three sets of stairs in mere minutes. No power cords, no maneuvering a heavy machine - it's quick and efficient. I was concerned about the battery cutting out after 6/10 minutes, but so far it hasn't been an issue. If anything, it makes me more efficient! No dilly-dallying allowed, I get right to what needs to be vacuumed and find I'm finished long before the battery discharges. This Dyson is expensive, but if you have a pet who sheds like crazy - you'll be very happy to have invested in this machine. Can't wait to try it out in my vehicle.

Alright first, it is pricey, but what really matters is how well does it work? Like other Dysons this is great for people with allergies. It works great, the motorized brush makes a big difference and it will pick up a lot of dirt, hair, etc. Battery life is better than the previous model (DC 16), it would be around the 10/6 minutes claimed. Also an improvement over the previous model, the battery can be disconnected and charged separately. It does not have a wall mount, this isn't a big deal to me, but just be aware if you care. You'll have to decide for yourself if it is worth the cost, but the performance is great, and I have not had any reliability issues with any previous Dyson products.
The BEAUTY is in the DETAILS July 18, 2010

My wife did not want to spend the $$$ on this product even though we have a Dyson upright.
She kept pointing to the other less expensive options from other vacuum makers.
Finally I was able to talk her into it, now she loves it.
It's a DYSON, so I knew (from experience with the upright) that the suction was going to be good, but the true beauty was in the attention to detail like
1. Its light and easy to hold
2. Canister is easy and quick to empty
3. Attachments are easy and quick to swap
4. Battery module conveniently pops out so you can charge it inconspicuously.
It's strong suction, it's quick, it's easy, it's Dyson*
* Yeah I love Dyson... Because I had an upright for years and it works today as the day I bought it 5 years ago. This is after a series of disappointments with other makers.

This is my third Dyson Animal (I bought the 1st gen. upright and then I bought the Dyson DC25 Animal Ball, because it's so much easier to maneuver whilst being in a wheelchair). I love them all, but being able to pick up the Dyson DC31 Animal handheld and quickly dust before visitors arrive is just priceless. I have a cat and the Dyson DC31 Animal takes care of all cat-related fur, missed treats, & any stray litter bits. I love the Dyson's power and I'm able to clean my living room, kitchen, dining room, foyer, and almost my bedroom & bath on one charge.
The manual recommends cleaning the filter monthly. I thought it was going to be a chore. Ha! Cleaning the filter = "user friendly". No manual needed at all. I popped the unit open and the filter itself has images of a faucet on it. Brilliant!
I can't recommend the DC31 Animal handheld highly enough.
Impressive Performance, Worth the Cost August 23, 2010

Terrific machine! Used it on some loop and pile carpet and could hardly believe how well it picked up lint, pet hair and everyday crumbs, paper scraps, etc. The extra 'beater" tool that comes with this model (not included on the DC31 [non-animal] handheld model) did an amazing job vacuuming up cat hair that was well embedded into the mock-fur lining of a cat carrier, and was equally impressive removing cat hair from a fabric covered couch. Did it grab every single strand of pet hair? Of course not. Nevertheless, this vacuum is far superior to any of the other heavy-duty "dust-buster" type handhelds I've used. I find it to be as effective as a high-end upright, only a lot less heavy and bulky. Despite the substantial price tag, the strong performance makes it an excellent value.
Unless you need to use it a lot longer than the ten minutes or so you get per charge, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be delighted with this handheld. Personally, I got an awful lot of vacuuming done on a single charge, in part because it worked so well I didn't have to go over the same area numerous times.
The only minor item that could be improved is the pictorial instruction sheet; it's not terrible, just not as clear as it could be.
