 Nearly Useless February 9, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First let me say, that I am a mechanical Engineer who designs Electro-Mechanical products for a living. I know when something is well built, and when it is not.
To sum it up, this product is nearly useless. 6 minutes of battery life for $150??? Are they joking??? My $79 DeWalt tools last hours!!! And the suction is not "powerful" compared to non-cordless handhelds; their advertising is misleading, it should say "2x as powerful as other *cordless* vacuums". We bought this item to vacuum one small 11 step carpeted stairway. The vacuum is so weak, that it takes major "Scrubbing" to get all the debris off the carpet; and because it takes so long to use, the battery dies before we can finish the job. This vacuum goes down as one of the most disappointing purchases I have made in 40 years. I am going to Target, to buy a $50 corded model...

No offense to other reviewers up here, but complaining about the battery life of this unit is just silly....any amount investigation before purchasing would have revealed that Dyson plainly states in all advertising that the battery life is 5-7 minutes or thereabouts.
It's easily the most powerful hand vac I've used, and like the rest of the Dyson family, no filters to replace, and one button opens the cannister for quick dumping out of the dirt.
How long does it last?
I did my car just fine in the 5-7 minute window it gives you (I think it's closer to 7). Think about the automated vacuums at gas stations....they don't last any longer than that for what...a dollar in change?
I use it on my computer each day (on the vents on the front to keep dust out), I use it on two tiers of steps in our home which are carpeted, and I use it for the car. It's much faster to grab than using the attachment on our big Dyson vacuum cleaner, and works great.
It's well designed, recharges very quickly, and I find it very easy to hold an operate. It's expensive, but isn't everything good in life.
Highly recommended.

Excellent! The most suction in a handheld ever. No permanent on switch but this saves the battery. Battery life no long but it is sa fast you don't need it. Lots of extra available accessories for sale.
Great handheld vacuum February 7, 2008
Despite what many reviewers have said about the battery life of this unit, I went ahead and purchased it anyway. I'm very glad I did. It does exactly what it says. It lasts just long enough and never looses suction. Please, keep in mind that this is a handheld "dustbuster" type of vacuum, not a plug in vacuum cleaner. If you need something to vacuum your floors and last for an hour, get a regular vacuum. For everyday pick-up and mainenance use, it's perfect. I am very satisfied with mine. Great purchase.

I hate this stupid little dust collector! The exhaust air blows right in your face..it is sooo annoying! The constant air blast like a strong gust of wind aims right toward the eyeballs... makes your eyelashes flutter! Perhaps you can rig up a long pole or a stick to keep it away from the face.
It is heavy and awkward. This over-priced hand-vac was an anti-climactic "run of the mill" performer, go buy a dust buster!
