This little number is a beauty - fantastic looks are combined with excellent performance to give a handheldvacuum cleaner that is so far ahead of the rest that it deserves its own category. It's so easy and natural to hold due to its drill-like handle and trigger set-up, and well-known Dyson technology is everywhere in evidence. It's clearly intended to be useful as a car vac, and its here that it really shines - the long nozzle easily fits in almost any crevice, and the powerful suction does the rest. A single charge cleans my car every time - there isn't much left in the battery by the time I'm finished though, so maybe this is the only drawback? But it doesn't fall short of the competition here either - every car vac I've ever used has a very short battery life. The Dyson has a recharging stand into which it slides easily - less hassle than having to plug it in each time. The neon indicators on the side tell you clearly what state the battery is in. For those who haven't encountered Dyson's before, the bagless cyclone technology really is fantastic, and really does what it says on the tin - there really is no loss of suction! And because the dust container is clear, you know exactly when you have to empty it - a task which is also made simple by Dyson's genius - one push of a little button on the side, and the bottom of the container drops on its hinge, allowing the dust to fall into the bin. Do take care though - have the bin positioned in advance! I've reviewed this as good rather than excellent only because of the battery life - maybe that is slightly harsh, but I think Dyson need to bring this feature up to speed with everything else about this machine.
