    One of the more successful examples of recent British ingenuity is that demonstrated by James Dyson and his desire to make things work better. Following his successful development of an industrial cyclone tower cleaner, which removed powder particles through the use of centrifugal forces that were 100,000 times greater than gravity, Dyson put to mind to producing a domestic appliance that used the same principle.

    I received this as a Christmas gift and it totally broke down on January 29th. Won't suck at all...or perhaps I should it really sucks. Buy a proven technology, not some piece of junk that some goof ball invented in their basement. 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

    ... the charge only lasts for so long. While in the middle of cleaning a couch or something, it dies and you have to wait another 3 HOURS before you can use it again. It's a good product but I just wish they could find a way to make it last long enough to finish a job. Read more

    Dyson should be charged under the trades description act. After a year spent under the bed where I eventually flung it, my expensive door-stop was rescued by an electrician friend, who thought he might fix it up. Now it''s under his bed. Read more

    The only remotely justifiable criticism of the DC16 is its short battery life. It is true that it only lasts about 3 minutes on the first charge, but after it has run down and recharged a few times, this goes up to about 6 or 7 minutes. This may not sound much, but it does compare well with other handheld cleaners. This is because it works so much better. Read more
