Dyson DC 16 Handheld Root 6

Advantages: Light, very manoeuvrable, robust, very powerful suction
Disadvantages: Initial outay is expensive, no ability to use mains power

...this snazzy futuristic hand held Dyson vacuum cleaner last week. Like all new Dyson’s it looks rather odd as instead of the sleek design of most hand held machines it looks rather more like a big bulky drill. I’ve been curious about this machine since I first saw it advertised but as I haven’t been going out shopping much in the last couple of months I hadn’t actually seen one in the ‘flesh’. I must admit to being surprised how light it actually ...

Advantages: Powerful, Portable, Looks like a space-gun
Disadvantages: Price,. Noise

...would be unfair. No, the Dyson Root 6 should truly be called a handheld vacuum cleaner. "Why?" I hear you ask... well let me tell you. Dyson, as anyone that hasn't been living under a rock for the last 10 years will know, shot to fame with their revolutionary "bagless" Hoover(tm). Only you can't call it a Hoover(tm) because that's a trademark too. Bagless technology meant that there was no loss of power as the poor vacuum motor had to suck air ...
...a fair few years before Dyson made the leap from "regular" vacuum cleaners to handheld ones. In fact, they only came on the market last year. I can only guess that it took them this long to perfect the design - or think up the marketing that would allow them to maintain their premium price-tag. Regardless of the cause of this delay, Dyson finally got a handheld to market in the form of the DC16 Root 6 in "Steel & Yellow". Looking more like a hand-gun ... Read review

Advantages: Best Suction in Category. Narrow head allows better access in car
Disadvantages: Marmite styling (love it or hate it!)

...he'd use the Dyson DC16 Root 6. For a 38 year old man it takes a certain kind of day to find yourself reviewing a hand held vacuum cleaner. To be precise...a Friday, if you know what I mean! Dyson techno-babble: - Claims twice the power of other hand held vacuums. To be honest I wouldn't have invested nearly £90 if all it could manage was twice the power of my Black & Decker, which would struggle to pick up a cornflake if it was a particularly ...
...Really not sure what Mr Dyson was trying to impart with this statement, but "Flash" would probably need to change his trousers. - Claims up to 3 times faster charge: If you use a rechargeable vacuum cleaner the likelihood is its always on charge in its cradle making the above statement a mute point. What I consider more noteworthy is the voltage and type of battery. In this case 21.6 volts, which to anyone with power tools will understand, is huge. ... Read review

Advantages: lightweight, and storeable
Disadvantages: Bad backs stay away

The dyson DC 16 Handheld Root 6! Where to begin! Not actually being hoover qualified, this brand name dyson has become very popular. Dyson is a very good established brand name, known for its quality, and suction power. This hand held device will get round any corners, pick up any dirt, especially good with the hairs off the carpet that never seem to come up. It's a minature version of you're everyday dyson with all the same qualities, except its ...

Advantages: Well-known Dyson technology, comfortable drill-style design
Disadvantages: Shortish battery life

...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 ...
...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 ... Read review
