Dyson DC16 Root 6 Reviews: , Hand held, Bagless Vacuum cleaner

+ Light, user friendly, excellent suction power, easy to empty, easy to store.

- I wouldn't describe it as a bad point but would say that I would find it more helpful if it could be used for a little longer before needing to be recharged.

+ Best handheld cleaner as powerful as an ordinary upright

- Need to keep the power button pressed in manually, would be useful if it had an on/off switch

+ absoltuly brilliant - like having a full power vacuum cleaner in your hand

- large compared to the usual hand held dirt busters

+ Design,power and versatility

- Battery life is low.

+ I purchased this product for my Mum who is 58, now she can vacuum the stairs and tidy up after her messy grandchildren with ease.

- Only lasts for 15 minutes, then you have to charge it up again.

+ It's powerful, it's light and very convenient to use.

- It could do with a longer lasting battery charge than 6 minutes.

+ simple to use, does the job

- not the smallest to tuck away out of sight

+ Lightweight, compact, clever design on nozzle/brush. Handy holder for charging.

- Takes a long time to recharge. A solar charging unit could easily be designed for this unit.

+ Flexibility

- Six minute life of battery charge is restrictive

+ Easy to use and powerful enough for the purpose it was bought for.

- The length of charging time by comparison to the short time the charge lasts.

+ Powerful and easy to use

- Battery charge doesnt last very long

+ the power was very very good liked the design. to empty the bag was good

- didnt like the 3hr charge and it only lasting 6mins should last longer

+ it is easy to use.

- i was very disapointed with the length of time the battery lasts,i would of thought it would have lasted to hover a small car out,or at least do the stair carpet,but no it did not,if i had not used it once on the stairs you would have been getting the thing back.

+ Very powerful suction

- Battery does not last long.
Does not empty easily

+ Handy for small areas/smaller jobs
Good suction
Easy to empty

- It can only be used for 6 minutes at a time which limits what you can use it for. I wanted to use it to clean my car rather than dragging out my other Dyson but the charge doesn't last long enough!

+ I found the running time (6mins) is fine for doing the car, the stairs etc and it does charge up very quickly. Powerful suction and good attachments

- gets a bit clogged up around the top of the drum

+ Better performance than any previous hand-held vac I've used.

- More expensive and heavier than any previous hand-held vac I've used.

+ POWERFUL

- BATTERY LIFE TO SHORT

+ portable, powerful

- six minutes run time?
3hours to recharge

+ Great for cleaning up quickly after a messy two year old!

- none

+ Handy to use. Good Suction. Easy to see when it is Full.

- Long Charge Time 3 Hours for only 6 minutes use!!!!

+ Lightweight and powerful great for the car

- 6 minutes of use is not long enough then 3 hours to charge

+ Looks cool. Fairly light-weight. Very powerful.

- Takes too long too charge. Battery does not last long enough.

+ It's a Dyson, so it picks up beautifully and doesn't run out of suck. It's easy to use, has useful attatchments and the battery life is pretty decent. As an added bonus its man friendly because, and I quote, 'It looks like a gun out of star wars'.

- It's a Dyson so its much pricier than your aerage dust buster.

+ Compact yet verypowerful - i love it! Useit insteads of a dustpan and brush in the kitchen and it's powerful enoughto use all the time to clean my (wooden) stairs.

- Would be good if it came with a flexible hose,so I could clean the inside of my car.

+ Very easy and light to use.

- I wish the "run time was longer.

- The battery doesn't last long!

+ Powerful hand held vacuum cleaner - easy to use.

- Looks ugly and has a tendency to slip out of the charger, you have to store it upright.

+ Suction is not lost

- Limited Charge

+ suction

- battery only lasts 6 minutes and has to be permanently plugged in

+ good suction dust box just about large enough

- wall mounting bracket akward and concerned too easy to knock and pull off wall
opening for waste smaller than would like tho so far not too much of a problem

+ excellent design and ease of use

- not enuf power to suck dust of floor! Then a pointless design for original use

+ light, good suction, ease of use.....

- charge doesn`t last long enough, only operates for about 6 mins....

+ Its a Dyson so it looks nice and comes with wall mount.

- Pathetic battery life. Can't even use to hoover car. Horridly expensive. Not very powerful.

+ The power of the vacuum is very good, it picks up everything I want it to, great for picking up after my 2 messy cats, cat hairs, dried cat food, all sorts! Also great for vacuuming the narrow stairs in my house which are hard to get at with a proper upright vacuum

- It is a little unwieldy and having to hold the "trigger" for power is a bit hard on the hand, also the attachments could have been designed to clip onto the vacuum as I have already lost one of them from not remembering where I put it to keep it "safe"!

- The suction isnt good enough, the bristles on the brush arent long enough, the charge doesnt last long enough and the container that holds the dirt is too small in compared to the machine.

+ user friendly and effective, very powerful in comparison to other makes

- power doesn't last long enough and recharge is a long time

+ Best product Iv'e brought for ages easy to handle excellent suction great for doing little jobs you can not be bothered to get the hoover out for.

- Dyson need to improve the running time but at least the charger is quick

+ easy to use, although takes up a lot of space

- space hungary

+ Great suction, easy to use

- Tools some times difficult to remove, bit off difficulty in assembling to charge

+ Powerful suction for a handheld vacuum cleaner means it can do the jobs a full size cleaner would do.

- Power means that the battery charge only lasts 5 minutes

+ Really effective, I've added the wide tool which is great to get cat hair off the bed.

- Short battery life, but if you needed to use for longer you may as well get out the big Dyson.
