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 ... ...free accessories are worth £22. Dyson dispatch their orders via Amtrak delivery and claim the delivery is aimed at being within 3 days; mine was delivered within 2.

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 ...

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. ...

...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 ...

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 ... ...- go back to the natural size dyson.
I have had my dyson for six months and am not disappointed.
Go ahead try it out! I see if you ever go back to you're nastily cheap home make brands that last little than 3 months.
Thank you! ...

Advantages: Rechargeable, great suction Disadvantages: None
This handheld dyson has a lot of suction much more than any other handheld vacuum i have owned in the past.
There are 3 lights on the side to tell you how much charge is left, 2 green and 1 red. When it goes red it turns off almost straight away.
It takes about 3 hours to charge, this give you about 6 minutes of use.
6 minutes does not sound much but do not forget this is only for small areas and not for replacing your full size vacuum.
The Dyson ... ...It is expensive about £80 but at least it works, so why pay £30 for a handheld that has no use.
This is great for cleaning the car, with the crevice tool.
The charger can be hung on a wall and the Dyson stored on it . ...

Quick review of Dyson DC 16 Handheld Root 6
One of the best purchases ever!
I bought this last year having a son who is like a maget to dirt! It's one of the best purchases I've made. Excellent for clearing up after little ones. Has superb suction, very versatile for cleaning inside the car, picking up washing powder that has been knocked over and sawdust pieces from having pet! I cannot rate it highly enough. Well worth the cost.. Only disadvatage is that the charge does not last for more than about 10 minutes.
Simple to empty and my son thinks it's great too! Every home should have one. ...
