Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend It's a funny thing. Of all the vacuum cleaners we bought over the years, the one my wife finds the friendliest to use is a rechargeable handheld. Though it seems ludicrous, it is the most ergonomic when you consider her petite frame. There are no long hoses and power cords to contend with. The Dyson DC16 Animal Handheld Vac adds more power and faster recharging capability for more efficient handheld cleaning. For… Product details and pricing info |

- Amazing handheld vacuum, would buy it again if I had to.
- I'm surprised with how many bad reviews there are this handheld. Many seem to compare it to a regular vacuum, which it is not. I've owned two or three dustbusters in my life which collected more dust than they sucked up which is why I had given up on handheld vacuums until Dyson released this one.
I've owned this handheld Dyson for over a year now and it is a god send! Yes it does have a short battery life - but again, this is a handheld. The battery life is comperable to the Dustbusters I have owned in the past. The suction on the other hand is outstanding! We use this to vacuum out the car, the stairs in our house and to tidy up the entryways. The vacuum sucks up so much so quickly that I really don't find the battery life to be a problem. - 2008-12-03, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

I love the power.
It is a bit difficult learning
how to take it apart and put it
back together.
The one drawback is the power only
lasts 6 minutes or so, which is
disturbing..
Would I buy it again,,,yes,,,for
a handyvac I love it, inspite
of the power not lasting long enough. - 2008-12-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Best cleaning device I've purchased since the Dyson Ball upright.
- Seriously people - if the 6 minute battery life is an issue you probably need to start cleaning the house a little more frequently.
This item is purely for small, quick jobs: taking care of the leaves or blades of grass you track into the entry way after checking your mail, cleaning up the little foam and cardboard remnants after opening a large package, cleaning dust off of ceiling fans, baseboards, and cupboards; sucking up the crumbs after the toddler's snack; sucking up cobwebs or the random bug; giving the dryer's lint trap an extra cleaning -- you get the idea.
If you purchased this to use it for anything more you're going to be as just as disappointed as the people leaving the one and two star reviews. This device is about convenience. It saves you from having to break out the big vacuum for for jobs that don't require the big vacuum, period.
I wish I'd have purchased this years ago. This is a great compliment to the Dyson upright or any upright for that matter. Plan on getting my parents one for Christmas.
If your expectations are realistic going into this purchase you'll be pleasantly surprised. - 2008-11-20, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Junk!
- The suction is great if you can finish the job in the 3 minutes before the battery dies.
