Others say...
"Can't imagine life without it..." I bought this a few months ago after having read all the mixed reviews. Basically, I wanted a handheld vacuum with superior suction for quick, everyday jobs. My previous one (a Black and Decker) was a pile of junk. Not only did it not ever really pick up very much, the charger plug quickly developed an overheated, brown color that made me concerned it was going to catch fire and burn the house down. So I unplugged it for good, and was determined to replace it with something that actually works and would last more than a few months. I was a little hesitant to invest in the Dyson after reading all the reviews, but I am so glad I did. I saved the receipt in case it disappointed or I hated it, but I REALLY like it. My biggest problem is 2 cats. They like to sleep and hang out wherever we are, so we have a pile of cat hair on the couch and our bed every single day. The other place the cat hair congregates is our hardwood floor steps. The Dyson works great on all these trouble spots, and I hit these spots w/ the Dyson at least once a day. I've never once ran out of battery for the quick jobs I need it for. I always return it to the charger so it's it's fully charged the next time I need it. Do people realize how long 6 minutes is when you're concentrating on typically one mess at a time? It also does VERY well with heavier debris, such as crumbs, dirt, cat litter gravel. I consider myself a Dyson convert now, and would seriously consider investing in one of their uprights in the future, even though I think they are pretty outrageously priced. If they deliver as well as the Root 6 handheld does, I'd have to consider making the investment. There is just thing I would want improved in the next generation of the Dyson handheld. While it is fairly ergonomic in design, I would like to be able to turn it on and have it stay on without having to hold down the button. This is because I have carpal tunnel for many years, but this is really an issue all companies should give their utmost attention when they're designing handheld tools for the human race. Product design has come a long way as far as ergonomics, but I wish they would take it even further than they seem to do. The button holding bothers me a little, but not a lot. It's easy enough to switch hands. "Pointless Rip-off" I was excited when I saw that Dyson had come out with a handheld vacuum cleaner-- with various animals I allowed myself to think that it was just what I needed. What a mistake. A real waste of money and space. How much money did they save by putting in a battery that lasts less than 5 minutes? How irritating is it to have the machine stop in the middle of a job? My old Black and Decker was so far superior that I'd rather look for a used one at this point. It also does not do a better job at cleaning, suction, or anything else, and the charger takes up a lot of space on the counter. This verges on a rip-off. They do have good marketing, though. I wouldn't buy any of their products now. They are clearly simply greedy. What a Waste!! "Meets my needs just fine" After reading the reviews on Amazon, I thought this tool was going to be a disappointment. In fact, we waited an extra 6 months to make our purchase. But I got frustrated trying to find a new filter for the handheld we were using. It has terrific suction - much better than my old dustbuster had. The battery life is limited, however, as advertised, the suction doesn't suffer at all as the battery drains down. If I need to vacuum for more than 5 minutes, then I figure it is probably time to pull out the big vacuum and get to work. But with 4 cats and a busy life, this handheld is great for picking up dirt, cathair, dust balls, and kitchen crumbs. It lost a star because it was difficult to figure out how it all worked at first. Also, we had to use it, and charge it a couple of times before the battery seemed to get fully charged. I really like how easy it is to dump out the debris without making a mess. Bottom line, I think this is a great tool. It's worth bearing with it when you get started. "Dyson handheld vacuum" I'm very pleased with this product. The power of the vacuum is great. The best handheld vacuum that I've ever purchased. Highly recommend it. "Not impressed" Well, I purchased the Dyson Root 6, and I must say, I am very unhappy with it. The 6 minute battery life coupled with the awkward heaviness of the item makes it extremely annoying to use. If the Root 6 had the capability to plug into a wall, I wouldn't be writing this negative review. I'd probably be okay with how heavy and difficult it is to handle, but it seems ridiculous to me that I spent $150 on a product that works for 6 minutes at a time. Not to mention it doesn't even lift pet hair off of fabric. My el cheapo Bissell does that with no problem. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does actually work, it's just not practical. Furthermore, it would be nice if the box said that it only stays charged for 6 minutes. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had known beforehand. Serves me right for not doing research, but at the same time, when you see a name like "Dyson" you expect it to be a good product, worth the extra money. Sadly, this was a waste. I'm returning it to Best Buy.

What our customer's say! "great for hand held", I love this vacuum. Yes, the battery doesn't last that long, but 6 minutes of powerful suction is plenty for a hand held vacuum. It is not designed to clean a whole room - it is for small spills or hard to reach areas. I highly recommend it. And for bigger areas I use my large dyson which I adore. "Great Suction!", We love this handheld vac so much! We use it all the time and have had it over one year now and it has not lost suction. I found that with the KONE and other dust buster type vacs, the machines just push the mess around - like the vacs blow the items, do not suck them up. It's worth the price and if you get it at Bed Bath & Beyond you save $30 with the 20% off coupon!!! That's what we did :) My fiance loves this machine so much, he no longer uses the real vac, but walks around with this little handheld. We're excited to see that someone has bought us a real Dyson full sized vac off of our wedding registry for the rest of our home. We love Dyson! "Ouch, hurts in a few ways ...", wrist and wallet. Dyson definitely was charging for the ray-gun looks on this hand-held vacuum, which impressed the kids and dogs at first. I admit, that's why I bought it on impulse. Now I am really tired of sore wrist, sore finger (hard to hold that trigger back for long, yes I am a big baby) and the poor suction. The dirt-holding canister opens all too easily when you don't want it to, believe me. What an adventure. Really, it seems to be designed to pick up a few crumbs off an otherwise spotless kitchen counter, and who wouldn't use a paper towel or dishrag for that? Or your immaculately clean hands? Better off buying a much less expensive DustbusterBlack and Decker CHV9600 9.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster, though I don't like the redesign where the dirt, etc., has to go round a corner to be collected--really gets stuck in my 15.6V cyclonic action model. Black & Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster "AWESOME!", OK, first... for everyone giving this a bad review due to battery life READ THE BOX. In Yellow writing on the front... it says "For Quick Pick-Ups". So say you accidentally spill some cheerios on the counter (and it was when the box was almost empty so you get all the cheerio dust too)... Grab the Root 6, in a few seconds it's all cleaned up. It's not meant to clean your stairs or clean your ENTIRE car. That being said, this thing is GREAT! It's awesome for cleaning up the counter in our bathroom (hair and whatnot), behind the toilet, and pretty much anything else small enough to not merit plugging in the big Dyson. It is very easy to empty and charges in 3 hours. I love how it mounts to the wall. It comes with an adapter that will allow you to also use the Asthma and Allergy tools. The only thing I wish they would have added was a clip on the wall mount to hold the crevice and multi-function tools it comes with. When I'm not using the crevice tool I have to throw it in the drawer. Great hand vac! Don't listen to the battery complainers... if you use this for what it was designed to do you will be very very happy! "awful", Battery is 21V and too small. This is the design problem. Compare, for example, an 18V brick for a DeWalt drill and you'll understand the difference. Dyson should have designed a lighter weight handheld and implemented a heavier, longer-lasting battery. His floor models are excellent, but the DC 16 needs a bigger battery. Look for Chinese-made after-market replacement batteries to add a second one as a backup or sell yours on Craigslist. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "So expensive for a 5 minute battery?", Wow, I am a clean freak and bought a $50 Shark from Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up a lot of my dog's hair from our Pergo floors. So I decided to get the Dyson handheld to get those hard to reach places. I was so excited and it actually does pick up my lab's black hair. BUUUUTTTT, it's hard to pick it all up when the freakin' battery lasts only 5 minutes. I thought maybe mine was defective until I read other reviews that they experienced the same problem. I wish I would have bought the $30 dirt devil with the wedding gift cards I received. WHAT A WASTE!!! DON'T waste your money unless you don't plan on actually using it. "Price vs performance", I'm torn on this product. I've been a fan of multiple dyson products but this one tends to have more flaws then the rest of the brand's products. Pro's Strongest power for any handheld vacuum. Great air filtering. Decent overall design compared to other handheld vacumm's. Con's Battery life is horrible. At best it lasts approximately 10 minutes. Takes a long time to recharge the battery. High price Loud The price is much higher then any other handheld, but the performance on this machine is the best I've seen for a handheld. The battery life is a pain to deal with, but after trying different brands over the years, Its something I can put up with since other rechargeable handheld vacuums tend to shorten in battery life as well. The other thing I wish was that instead of including a part designed to allow you to use optional attachments, they would have just included another one that worked with it. For what you pay, this is easily the best performance of any handheld vacuum. If you can put up with some of the design flaws, I'd recommend it. "good but doesn't last long", I really like this vacuum. Great suction power and its pretty heavy duty construction. However like most people have mentioned, the battery only lasts for around 4 minutes. I have a plan all laid out before I use this vacuum; you will often see me race around the house non-stop to get the most out of my 4 minutes. I pay very close attention to how long I have left to use the vacuum - making it count by not unnecessarily holding down the trigger. Yes its a hassle but when this vacuum does work, it works great! "Don't beleive the bad reviews, this thing is worth every penny!", I have read all of the reviews both here at Amazon and on other websites bashing the DC16 Root 6 handheld and I had mixed feelings about them. I own a Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal and think it is the best vacuum money can buy, so I personally couldn't see why the Root 6 would be so bad. After a week of using my new Root 6 (I actually have the "Animal" handheld with the motorized brush bar), I can't understand why anyone would give it a negative rating. Maybe I have Dyson bias, but I don't see it that way. I prefer items that just work. I look at three things when I purchase any type of electronic device: 1) It is well made? 2) Does it perform the function intended without a bunch of fluff, or overly-engineered crap? 3) Is it worth the money? After actually purchasing and using the device, I have to say yes to all three. Here is my reasoning: 1) It is a true Dyson. It is VERY well made. I've read the reviews from people saying that the plastic is cheap on the handheld. If there is a better-built handheld vacuum out there, I haven't seen it. Not to say one doesn't exist, but they don't sell it to consumers and I would bet it would cost a few thousand dollars. I have owned several B&D handhelds, a dirt devil a Kenmore and a Panasonic. None of them comes close in overall design and build quality. Just like the Dyson upright, the Root 6 screams good design, excellent attention to detail and superb build quality. 2) The suction is far and away superior to any handheld I have ever used. Period. It takes a couple seconds for the motor to spin up, but once it does, the suction is about half of what my DC17 upright is, which is VERY good for something that small and battery operated. Sure, any $30.00 battery-operated handheld can do a similar job, but what really separates the Dyson from the competition is that unlike all other handhelds, the Dyson runs at full power 100% suction for the entire run life of the battery. My last handheld was a $55.00 12.6v B&D cyclonic. That same handheld got a better user rating on this same website (go figure) After a full charge on a clean filter and an empty dirt bin, the B&D only kept operating at around 100% suction for about 30 seconds before starting to slowly loose suction. After about 2 and a half minutes of sucking up cat hair and slowly clogging the filter, the suction was down to about 40% at best. Once I got to about 5 minutes of run time, the suction was around 5% or so of the original strength, to the point where it could barely pick up anything. The Dyson on the other hand maintains 100% to 95% suction for the entire run life of the battery (around 6.5 minutes for me so far). I have NEVER seen or used a battery-operated handheld that maintained that level of suction for over two minutes and definitely nowhere close to six minutes. 3) I personally think the device warrants the price. $200.00 for the Root 6 Animal is a lot of money, but you do get what you pay for. You get a lot for the price. For one, the device comes with three bundled tools (the motorized brush bar is only on the "Animal" version). Second, it comes with an adapter so you can plug any tool or attachment available for the full-size Dyson uprights. Third, you don't have to pay for additional filters in the future. And fourth, it comes with a two year warranty, where others stop at one. The price to some seems steep, but if you are one that holds quality, longevity and functionality higher than price, it is a sound investment. Pros: No loss of suction, build quality, functionality, design, ergonomics, warranty, bundled tools, motorized brush bar on Animal is excellent and class-leading. Cons: A little bulky and might be too big for small women or people with very small hands. Slightly heavy. Wall-mounting bracket well made, but poorly designed. "Very good and very bad", I've had a Root 6 since November, 2006. It sucks better than most cheap handhelds I've owned, some of which are almost useless. It feels pretty balanced and easy to use. If you had to use it for 20 minutes at a time, having to hold the button down could get annoying. Cleanup is fairly easy, though sometimes junk gets caught in the dustbin. But as everyone else has mentioned, battery life is horrible. I never tested it with a stopwatch, but initially it would last roughly five minutes. Now, it dies after about one minute. You better have a small job! This alone is enough to knock it down to 3 stars for me. Too bad. |
