Score 9.0/10+ Easy to use and convenient. We have two young messy children so brilliant to clear up all of the mess after lunch and tea without getting the big Dyson out!
- Really good on tiled floors and lino but not so good on carpet or rugs.

Score 10.0/10+ Very easy to use and light, ideal for the stairs, furniture and Camper Van.
- It would have been better if you could use it from the main as well as battery. Six minutes is not very long for some applications.

Allan, Tiptree
Score 4.0/10+ Easy to use.
-
Very poor suction. Not good for anything bigger than a few crumbs.
Big and bulky.
Awkward mounting bracket - needs to be mounted on it's side as opposed to flat against the wall.

Mark, Ipswich , “I'm 50, male andisabled.”
Score 7.0/10+ It looks brilliant and everyone who sees it says how stylish it is. It is quiet, very transportable and light. I love my Dyson!
- It is a bit pricey, the charge doesn't last long enough and I would like the option of using it with a plug-in lead.

Score 6.0/10+ Ease of use and so easy to empty. So handy.
- As everybody else must have said, 6 minutes is useless really.. An expensive product for only 6 minutes of use. I wish I had waited to save up enough to buy the larger product.. I also worry a lot about the cost of continually recharging it.

Michael, Brentwood
Score 10.0/10+ More powerful than other handheld vacuum cleaner I have tried. Useful for 'spot' vacuuming small amounts of mess, as well as for getting into crooks and crannies where ordinary vacuum cleaners won't go.
- Battery needs to be kept topped up, as it only gives around 10 minutes of vacuuming before needing to be re-charged.
purchased 14 Apr 2009

Score 10.0/10+ Really good easy to use vaccum cleaner. Powerful suction on carpet and hard floor. Does away with the need of getting the big vaccum out as the Dyson is very conveinient and hady to use.
- Cannot think of any bad points

Steve, Manchester
Score 9.0/10+ Great, practical portable vacuum cleaner. Ideal for those tricky jobs like along the edges of a room, shelving, cars etc
- Only downside is the fact that this has a rechargeable battery. The charge only lasts for 6 minutes (probably less than that in my experience) and it then takes quite a while to fully charge up again, so this is no good for doing big jobs.

Score 9.0/10+ I love this cool hand vac. I use it every day to clear up pet hair and spills etc. True its charge doesnt last long but its enough for most small jobs if you dont keep your finger on the trigger constantly. Does the car in one go. I would recommend this to everybody, especially to pet owners. Leaves all other hand-helds I have tried in the past, swallowing its dust (excuse pun).........
- None

Powerfull for its size.
Easy to use, good ballance and not too heavy.

Score 9.0/10+ Very easy to use and recharge. Holds suction well. Fairly light so easy to use one handed. Great for doing the stairs/car/cleaning up after toddler...
- Could do with a small flexible attachment as the size of the unit means it's tricky to get into very tight or awkward spaces.
