Dyson DC16

I've had my handheld Dyson DC16 for just over a year now, and it's very useful for those quick jobs when you don't want to get the large hoover out, hoovering up crumbs or when you see a spider that you just have to get rid of quickly! It comes in very handy for quickly hoovering out the car too. For a small handheld device it's a lot more powerful than I expected it to be. the dust compartment is see through and very easy to empty at the push of a button. As for battery life, it lasts from 5-10 minutes from full to empty, however I have found that if I stop and start it a lot then the battery does tend to run down more quickly.

I have had this handheld dyson for about 6 months now and it is the best handheld cleaner i have owned . The suction on it is great , just as good as a normal vacuum/ dyson . you get an adaptor with it so you can fit your existing dyson attachments on it which i have found usefull. the battery life is 6 minutes continuous which i believe is more than any other handheld , it doesnt sound much but 6 minutes is quite enough time to hoover the stair case for example . its much more convient to use this a few times a day to hoover under childs high chair etc rather than getting the big one out and plugging it in. it charges fairly fast too . it ...  Read the complete review

My husband accuses me of loving this vacuum more than I love him. I do love him of course but unlike my Dyson DC16 he hasn't replaced and bettered my broom, dustpan, duster and main hoover and consolidated them all into one frankly life-enhancing appliance. This Dyson is a "labour saving device" in the true sense of the phrase. I use it every day on the kitchen floor and in seconds it is spotless with no messing around or leftover bits. I use it regularly on the stairs (no cords or tubes to worry about) and all the floors and various surfaces in my flat. Of course its perfect for those little spills, with no need to lug a full size hoover out. If you ...  Read the complete review

The Dyson hand help vacuum is quite an impressive looking little machine. It is orange and grey and has a clear bin so you can see how much it is picking up. It also has a crevice tool that I thought looked useful. I love my Dyson vacuum so thought that this little one, which has the famous "root cyclone" technology, would be very useful for me. I paid £89.99 for it which I thought was a little pricey but was reassured by the brand so thought it would be worth it, mainly for the car but also other little tidy up jobs round the house. All I can say is it is a bit of a disappointment. It isn't as if it's useless, it is just rather disappointing. ...  Read the complete review

I bought this for my dad for christmas and was quite disappointed although it is good for getting out quickly if something is spilt or for cleaning the car it only has a six minute charge, this is the case no matter how long it is on charge for so if you have a dirty car to clean you will have to do it in stages, it also takes a while to recharge. It was quite expensive when i purchased it also. The suction on the hoover is good, it is just like a big dyson with alot of power so this does outweigh the bad charge time. easy to empty and obviously as it is a dyson no hoover bags needed also comes with a guarantee so once bought you dont have expense to repair or maintain ...  Read the complete review
