  1. A Handheld Dyson : Dyson DC16 Issey Miyake

    Reviewer: GadgetSpeak
    30 January 2008

    Once I got bored with shooting objects and got down to check out the cleaning aspect of the Dyson , I found it did its prescribed task without any problems. It is best used when tackling small areas especially as you do need to physically keep the trigger depressed when in use. The transparent bin provides clear evidence of any objects drawn up by the Dyson while the supplied heads and brushes dealt with a variety of situations such as underneath furniture or in small...

  2. Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Review

    21 December 2008

    A user reviews the Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner : “The Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is a great vacuum. It fills the niche that I was hoping it would fill perfectly: I want to vacuum something small or far away from an outlet, and I don’t feel like fetching and plugging in the upright. Suction is great, the tools are great, the canister is great, etc. 5 out of 5 stars for the vacuum. The battery life is ridiculous. I got 5 minutes of hard... Read more

    The DC16 handheld vacuum cleaner by Dyson is surprisingly easy to use and does a good job at picking up the dust and dirt that gathers in between cleanings. You can see for your self how good it is working as the cyclone technology swirls the dirt and debris into the clear bin. The combo tool is great for cleaning messes on the counter top, floor, or upholstery and the long crevice tool makes it easy to get the crumbs out of the cracks of the couch or hard to reach...

    The cordless design of the DC16 means that quick clean up vacuuming jobs are not limited to areas that a cord can reach. The battery charger, which comes with the hand held vacuum, reaches a full charge at least three times faster than other hand held vacuum battery chargers. A lithium ion battery is included, which contributes to the fast charging time. The unit also comes with an LED indicator that lets the consumer know how much battery power is left while the vacuum... Read more

  1. Amazing (but only for 6 minutes!)

    This is the best handheld out there.  I really enjoy the power and efficiency - but the duration is short - only 6 minutes.  I usually use this to pick up dog hair and my sweeping piles.  It has excellent suction.  I find myself using the handheld for a cleaning job for about 6 minutes - then having to set it back on the charger - cleaning another portion of my house - and then having to return to continue my little vaccuum jobs.  But other than that change of my...

    We purchased this handheld vacuum hoping to get the dyson power in a dustbuster size. Our house has cats, and they shed everywhere. I bought this when our house was on the market hoping to use it on carpeted stairs so I wouldn't have to lug the full dyson up and down everyday. This handheld works great for messes on hardwood floor, but it was not powerful enough to capture pet hair from the carpet fibers. I would recommend this vacuum for light cleaning, but I would not...

  4. Works great, but not for a long period of time

    Reviewer: DealTime UK

    I'm very glad I purchased the Dyson DC16 Animal Bagless Handheld Cyclonic Vacuum.  I looked at this vacuum for a long time before deciding to buy it.  After buying it I can't imagine how I ever lived without it. It's perfect for those quick clean ups.  It's lightweight and I love the yellow color. It's so cool looking that I can even convince my eight year old to help with the vacuuming.<p>My dogs shed a lot and I use this vacuum on a daily basis for a quick clean up... Read more

    The suction is great and it's ease of use is impressive. I have heard negative comments about battery life but I've not had it long enough to know. It is by far the best hand vac I have owned. Read more
