Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Good Suction and Good Battery Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not had the battery life problem discussed in previous reviews. I bought this to use as a companion to my Dyson Animal. After reading some of the other reviews, I set my kitchen timer for 10 minutes and started vacuuming. I went around the house vacuuming pet hair off of furniture, dusting, etc. I ran out of things to clean after 10 minutes and the battery was still charged. The vacuum was not running the entire time. I turned it off as I moved from area to area. I think this is a perfect tool for someone who needs to do quick cleanups. For big jobs I use the Dyson Animal. I love this product and would purchase it again.Customer Review: Worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the Dyson Animal (For Pets) and I love it! It works great at picking up pet hair and no filters to change. However, I wanted something smaller because the Dyson Animal weighs about 17 Lbs. I bought the DC16 with some doubt after reading the negative reviews but once I tried it I clearly saw a difference vs other handhelds. This handheld does have a quick battery life. Dyson clearly states 6 minutes but it is just for quick and small pickups. This isn't for a big job use a vaccuum for that!
6 minutes is enough time to do small jobs. More importantly you cannot compare how well the DC16 suctions compared to other handheld.
Customer Review: Couldn't imagine being without it!

Look.....
This is not a car vac, shop vac or wet vac. It is more like a battery operated dustpan!
Dog hair on baseboards, dust bunnies, small spills, dust on ceiling fan blades, etc..etc...etc....etc? This is a perfect answer.
We have 4 dogs and wood floors. We use it a lot! Just a few minutes at a time.
The first one we purchased died within 2 weeks but let's face it, no one or nothing is perfect. I returned the defective one and was hoping that the store had another one. I did not want to be without it after just 2 weeks of owning one.
Like the Dyson Animal we own, overpriced but worth it!
Customer Review: Totally worth every penny, regardless of run time
Summary: 5 Stars
I also, was very apprehensive about buying this vac due to all the feedback on the 6 minute battery life. The packaging makes NO SECRET that it will only run for 6 minutes at a time and then turn off. Those six minutes will totally blow any other handheld out of the water, so you are getting more done in those 6 minutes than would with triple the time on an ordinary vac. I bought this to combat cat hair on my couches and bed, and even thought I vacuum and lint roll them regularly, this first time with the Dyson sucked almost a full tank of fur, dust, and other total nastyness. Don't think twice about getting this vacuum!!Customer Review: Dyson does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been buying cordless vacs for years in several brands, and all were disappointing until this one came along. It is the most powerful hand-vacuum ever. It is heavy because of the higher voltage battery, but the weight is evenly distributed so you don't notice. The battery cuts out completely when discharged after about 10 minutes, rather than just getting slower and slower like the rest. No bags to clog, buy or empty. Just pull the lever to open the clear cannister over a garbage can. Only complaint is the instructions- just pictures, no words for an international use.
