how is 41 compared to dc50?
2033242
I think the 41 is a bigger machine physically than the 50. I don't know if there is a difference in suction though. I can tell you that my dc41 has a lot more suction than my previous old dc7 and I think it does a great job.

No, they are one in the same. I know it's expensive but we love this thing, everyday we find more uses for it. The DC44 has a high-low suction button. On low we get more time from the battery and have found that the low setting works for almost everything. If we happen to find the low suction not doing the job we will switch over to high and when done go back to low. Today, I did a wall to wall, ceiling to floor cleaning of one of our bathrooms. We have 10 foot ceilings and with the wand I could do everything. Did I say we Love this thing!

Both kits include the DCF886 1/4" impact, but the DCK281D2 includes the DCD790 1/2" drill/driver, and the DCK286D2 includes the DCD795 1/2 hammer drill. The latter is especially good for masonry drilling. Both sets are of the "compact" variety, but the DCD790 is a bit shorter which you could find useful in tight spots. DeWalt also sell heavier duty models which are heavier (heh, heh) and have bigger batteries for longer lasting charges. For the typical weekend warier the compact models are probably perfectly adequate. Beware DeWalt also still sells models which are NOT brushless. They're cheaper, but I'd definitely go for the brushless models.

The difference is power 45cc to 50cc. Also the 445 comes as a 16 or 18. The 450 comes as an 18 or 20. Hope that helps.

I believe there are 2 main things that make it an "animal" model. First the battery lasts longer than the DC35 with boost mode on (8 min compared to 6). Second, I believe the brush has more bristles and spins faster on the 44 compared to the 35; According to the Dyson website - "The motorized floor tool has twice the power of the DC35 floor tool, to drive the bristles deeper into the carpet pile with more force. Floor tool attaches to the wand or directly to the machine for cleaning awkward spaces."

Wish I could help you but I don't know. I have a DC35 and it works as good as the original. I believe the web site information should tell you if it will support a DC44 if not go to their store front and check it out. Good luck.

I found both of these resources very helpful. I'm throwing another dyson into the mix because if you feel the higher price and power of the DC58 handheld is worth the value ($250 or so), you may want to consider the DC35 animal which can be found for a similar price. The DC35 is more like a handheld vacuum with many accessories. DC34 versus DC58 http://www.infobarrel.com/DC34_Vs_DC58 Comparison of DC 35 animal versus DC 34 Based on the comparison below- it looks like the DC58 (described in the above link, which doesn't come with all the DC35 animal accessories and motorized attachments) may have a better battery (cobalt manganese vs lithium ion). I also cannot tell whether the DC 35 animal has a V6 motor or a V2 motor like the DC34. If anyone can answer this I'd be interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s8mfUkIDWY Here's what I gather so far DC58- more expensive but far superior power and battery functioning- it may come with one motorized tool head but that's it DC 34- less expensive but less power and battery life DC 35 about the cost of DC58, lots of accessories including power accessories, but probably not as powerful as the DC58 from what I can tell. Still deciding

For starters, the 50mm 1.8 is all plastic. It just doesn't have the same quality feel.Secondly the size is very different. It feels like there isn't even a lens with the 40mm on.Most important is the speed and accuracy of auto focus. The 40 is L quality. It is silent and fast whereas the 50 is slow and loud. Image quality is near the same. Wide open the 40 is clearer, but the 50 is 1.8, so that makes a diffence. Hope this helps.

The DC17 is an older model which Dyson no longer sells direct but is still available online and in some stores. The DC28 replaced it and is the newest non-ball animal model. The biggest difference between them is weight and suction: the DC17 weighs 33 pounds versus 20.61 pounds for the DC28, and 24 pounds for the ball DC25. The DC28 has more suction: 245 air watts versus 220 air watts for both the DC17 and the DC25. I don't have either model: I have the older DC14 Dyson Animal which, after 6 years, still has amazing suction (it has the 5/8 gallon bin). In comparing the DC25 Animal ball to the DC28 Animal, the big difference (beyond the ball technology which gives the DC25 more maneuverability) is the size of the gallon bin: DC25 has 1/3 gallon bin versus the DC28's larger 5/8 gallon bin, so you will be emptying the DC25 more frequently, which could be a pain if you have long haired cats or dogs which shed frequently; so that's the trade-off, also there is a price difference although Amazon has good discounts on both models. My DC14 does clog but it can be easily cleaned by taking the canister off completely (it comes off with the push of a button), and wiping it down with a damp paper towel or sponge. If you can't get all the small holes unclogged doing that, you can use the end of a paper clip or tiny screwdriver to stick in the holes and push out any remaining debris. It is a bit annoying to have to do only because Dyson advertises that you never need to do this. I also rinse out the bin from time to time (they provide instructions for doing this). Hope this helps in making a decision which model to buy.

Hi Could you please share your research, i'm trying to decide bet the 50D and the 40D.xavierucho2000[at]yahoo[dot]comThanks!!

I am not sure of the exact difference. I have used both in my printer with no real quality differences to note. The 41 says "FINE" and the 31 does not.... Not sure what that means about the ink.

The "LC" just means that the mic doesn't come with a cable, but neither comes with a cable so the designation is a bit dated and useless. But the 58 is better for voice while the 57 is better for instrument applications. Both are great mics so if you want one or the other just decide what you'll use it for the most.

I'm going for the 410 because of the battery life. I can't figure out why they would go to a smaller battery when the primary upgrade is the n455 processor so that it works with DDR3 ram. I want to be free of power cords for extended periods of time with a netbook so that's why I'm getting the 410!

I believe the toxic is a better over clocker but the DCU II has better temps and noise level. I bought the toxic myself. I say which ever you can get cheaper, they are both great performers.

As far as build quality goes the 40 beats it without question, also a lot smaller. The 50 on the other hand does have a larger aperture for more blurred backgrounds and better in low light. They are both very sharp. I do perfer the auto focus on the 40 over the 50. If you want to save 100$ go with the 50. You won't be let down with either lenses. I own both

Yes. I own the DC44 and I've used it on numerous occasions. I hope this helps.

Idon't understand your question. If it is to get the40 or 50 I wouldn't think there would be a difference. You just add an extension. The side or underneath the granite could be drilled and a sleeve to accept a bolt installed.
