Get your kicks from errr... Root 6

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 ...

Black And Decker PV 1205 Cyclonic Dustbuster Pivot

Advantages: Reliable, Trustworthy and High performance
Disadvantages: Doesn't vacum plaster dust well

...when my husband bought the Black and Decker PV1205B Dust buster for my birthday. Whilst the price might seem high anything with lower voltage is a waste of time and money. Lower voltage dust busters just don't work you need something with a bit of power, one that performs well and does the job you need it to do. The Black and Decker PV1205B Dust buster is powerful, practical and efficient basically you cannot go far wrong in purchasing this and I ...
...The target market for the Black and Decker PV1205B Dust buster is probably those with a family or those with busy lives that need something quick and convenient to tidy up small messes. If you have a car then the Black & Decker Dust buster V9650 works well at cleaning the crumbs, dirt and other minor mess that often collects in the car. If you want to clean up things like fine powder or brick and plaster dust it is not very effective and you will ...

Durability

Perfect for the car or stairs

Advantages: Easy to reach nooks and crannies
Disadvantages: Battery life not that long

Received my nice compact Dyson Box on Monday and unpacked it as soon as I walked through the door. Now I must point out that prior to last year I was a complete Dyson-Phobe who did not/could not accept that Dyson made good hoovers. All of that changed when I brought the Hard Floors ball version and have magically realised I was wasting my time with all other brands and was a total Dyson convert. When I opened the box I had very high expectations ...
...possible the most simple thing to use. It is a 1,2,3 step type of product that even the most technologically frightened people can get along with. Take it out of box, plug into the wall to charge and 3 hours later, bingo. You're ready to start hoovering. There are two attachments, one for your normal collecting crumb types and the other is a longer attachment that is great for corners and crevices that are normally awkward to reach. When you charge ...

GtechSwo2 for Cleaning thats less of a chore!

Advantages: Lightweight, rechargeable and easy to empty.
Disadvantages: Battery life of a couple of years seems a bit poor.

My mother bought me this little sweeper as she has always been pleased with hers. I have trouble carrying a heavy vacuum up and down stairs so this is really handy for those quick whiz round cleans inbetween struggling with the big vac. this is a rechargeable model, I am not sure how long it takes to reach full charge as i tend to plug it in when I have finished what i am doing and then unplug when I remember. On a full charge it is supposed to clean ...
...so it always managed my hall,lounge,study,dining room and stairs and landing with no problem. The sweeper is not very noisy either, the children don't grumble too much if I am trying to clean and they are watching telly! The sweeper is exceptionally light and so very easy to manouevre. The model I have is silver and purple so looks neat and stylish, not like the old fashion sweepers I remember from my childhood! The main handle is extendable and ...
