Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for quick pick-ups, this powerful handheld vacuum cleaner features Root Cyclone technology and a constant suction power of 36 air watts--twice the power of other handhelds. Dyson proves no loss of suction using the IEC 60312 Cl 2.9 test standard. The cordless unit vacuums up both small and large debris from carpets, smooth tabletop surfaces, computer keyboards, and other areas around the home. Like many handhelds, the Dyson Root 6 delivers up to six minutes of powerful continuous cleaning on each full charge, but, uniquely, it recharges up to three times faster.
In addition, the hygienic unit exhausts only fresh, clean air back into the room, and its 0.21-gallon clear bin offers a one-touch cup-emptying system to keep hands clear from dirt. Its bagless design and lifetime washable filters mean cost-free maintenance--no bags or filters to replace. Other highlights include 21.6-volt lithium-ion battery technology, an LED battery indicator, a charger cord length of 4-8/9 feet, a wall-mounted battery charger and fixing screws, and high-velocity airflow tools, which include a crevice tool and a combination accessory tool. Lightweight and ergonomic, the handheld vacuum cleaner measures 4-2/7 by 18-2/7 by 8-8/9 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Horrible battery life makes this a luxury purchase,

This review is from: Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I am a huge fan of Dyson and own TWO Dyson uprights. Dyson sent me an email to offer registered owners first crack at purchasing this handheld which recently arrived to the US market, and I jumped at the offer, but I am extremely disappointed in the battery life.
This otherwise great tool is deeply flawed for running only five minutes. It's really a shame Dyson released this product with such a short battery-operated running time.

Great vacuum, tiny battery,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
The other reviews pretty much sum it up, but I'll put my thoughts in too.
(a) It's 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. (b) The battery life is ridiculous. I got 5 minutes of hard vacuuming. The way the charger is designed, it wouldn't even be that easy to keep a spare battery, because the actual charging contacts are on the handheld itself. Come on, Dyson, lithium batteries aren't even that heavy! You could have doubled the power with no problem. You could have designed a backup charger like all the cordless power tools have. 0 out of 5 stars for battery/charger design. I give it 4 stars overall, despite the battery issue, because I don't ever plan on using this thing for big cleaning jobs. If it's bigger than a 5 minute job, I'll just use the upright anyway. As a light, effective portable that's easy to grab for a specific job, this vacuum is very good.

A bummer for a Dyson lover,
By BB "barbx" (South Riding, VA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I couldn't wait to get the Dyson Root 6 - I've had my Dyson DC 07 for 4 years and I LOVE it, so I figured the mini-version would be fantastic. I have 3 Dustbusters (one on each floor) and I was looking forward to the Dyson version, which I was convinced would be top notch.
I'm so sorry to be wrong. First off, having to press the button continuously to make it work is a pain. And speaking of pain, the Root is so heavy and unbalanced - all the weight is in the back which puts a lot of strain on your wrist. I haven't noticed any difference in suction to a Dustbuster, but then again, I don't suck up bowling balls. A Dustbuster picks up lint and cat litter just as well. Save your money - this Dyson ain't worth it.
