I have tried many other hand vacs and none compare to the ease of use. With the extension attachment you can clean under couches & other furniture and you don't have to bend over like you do with other hand vacs. The suction power is unbeatable!! It was pricey but compared to the wasted money on the others I have tried & had to throw away due to them not working well or just dying after a few months.

At 65 year of age the big vacuums are so hard to pull out, but the little light weight one does a big job. So easy to use and great for quick jobs. Love it, for all room from kitchen to bath to bed rooms . Worth every penny. Thank you

I love this vac to a point, I would have to improve the trigger. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A better trigger with a lock on function similar to a drill trigger. Squeeze trigger and press lock button for constant on, squeeze trigger again to release lock feature. I will accept any sort of compensation from Dyson for my input, thank you! P.S. upgrade my unit with new trigger first please!

I've always been skeptical of the claims. No vacuum could suck up to consumers like Dyson said it could. Then my sister and OCD-driven bro-in-law got one of these. I visited them, and was so impressed that I immediately bought one when I got home. Yes, it's worth the $$. Here's why: 1. No cord. I found that this was a blocking issue for me with other small vacs. Even though they were small, it was an effort to drag them out and plug them in. The Dyson hangs on a wall and I can be using it in 3.7 seconds. Awesome. 2. Dumping the bin is as simple as it gets. Hold it over the trash can, hit the lever and done. It takes maybe 5.7 seconds, when you factor in getting to the trash can. 3. This thing will reach places I never would have believed. It gets almost parallel to the floor, so I can reach under a low couch or bed. And the swivel head gives it even more flexibility. The 'downside'? The battery life is 'only' 15 minutes. I've never reached that max. If you're worried, vacuum for 15 minutes, charge it, then vacuum again. :-)

The only proplem that I see with this unit is that it really doesn't work well on carpets. It is not a good multifloor vacuum for this reason. I boughl it mainly for use on wood floors. For someone with a lot of carpet I would not recomend this product.

I REALLY LIKE THE UNIT TO CLEAN STAIRS .WORKS GREAT . i wish it had a on button that didnt need continuous holding down . MAKES MY HAND TIRED AND SORE FROM HOLDING DOWN . Other than that its light and quiet .

This vacuum is wonderful! Very easy to use and picks up dirt well. A bit pricey, but worth it to me because of the convenience. Would definitely recommend it...you have to hold the trigger in while you're vacuuming, so if you have hand issues this may not work for you.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. haven't had any problems, works great!

This is exactly what I was looking for, and if you've ever owned a Dyson, this little one is no different. Keep in mind, it's a handheld, battery powered vacuum. The battery doesn't last longer than 15 minutes per charge, but that's no matter. The reason I bought this in conjunction with the Animal Ball was because I have white painted hard wood floors, dark-haired dogs and steep, narrow flights of stairs!! It cleans in crevices, the stairwell, behind doors, it's truly awesome! Comes with three attachments, small square, long skinny, and a floor brush. Cons: battery life (to be expected), Pros: literally will cleans every floor type (shag rugs, berber carpet, tile...)

This is a good vacuum when you need the job done quickly. It is pretty light in weight but powerful in suction. With the extension and attachments, it is all I need for the house in between housekeepers' service.

Dyson does it again! A handheld cordless sweeper that swivels and reaches into corners picking up all the unseen dirt. The best part is when you finish and you see all the junk you pick up; it's extremely satisfying. Easy to use, reaches high places like tops of curtains and is not heavy. Highly recommend!

I have a full size Dyson, but it's difficult to clean stairs and small areas with a large vacuum. This one is perfect for the small jobs. I've bought a couple of other small hand held vacuums that are absolutely worthless! This one cost more, but is WELL WORTH IT. I highly recommend it.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Absolutely thrilled with this sweeper. It runs a long time on a charge, picks up well. It's light weight, and easy to use. Even my husband loves this sweeper. I've never seen him offer to sweep as much as he does with this Dyson handheld vacuum. We even took the vacuum to our lake house to show our neighbors who were looking for another small 'in between' sweeper. We have already recommended it to several of our friends!

Would buy this again. Love my big Dyson and now have a lightweight option I can handle with arthritic hands.

I finally popped for this vacuum, even though I have been thinking about it for about a year. Why did I wait? It was really expensive for a battery-run, I-can-live-without-it appliance. However, I find I'm using it every morning! Works great. Runs for the 10 minutes or so to whisk my hardwood and tile...a 3000 sq.ft. house-full. I live on a ranch with 12 dust-producing horses, 14 cats, 5 dogs, and LOTS of hair bunnies and dust. This is quick and gets into corners much faster than lugging my full-size Dyson around. The big Dyson tends to tip over with the hose and wand, and this portable is small, very portable, and has a lot of suction. I got it for hard surface flooring, but am finding the beater brushes also make quick work of the leather and microfiber couches. Absolutely love it.

As a long time Dyson customer, this is a nice addition to the product line. Very handy for those quick clean ups and stairs.

I bought this little vac because I have carpeted stairs And they are a pain to clean. This vacuum is so powerful and the charge really Holds. It is amazing and so lightweight! I LOVE it!!!

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is more purple-blue not that it's important!

The battery charge on Max power lasts only 6 minutes! If not on Max power the charge is only 13 min. I could not even get through vacuuming my stairway without losing power and I doubt I would be able to use it to vacuum my car. It works well but for this price I would expect to be able to use it for more than 13 minutes at a time!

I first saw this at best buy and thought it was it would be nice to have and use especially haing a 2 story house, and knowing how hard it is to vacuum the stairs with an upright vacuum. But it was pretty costly. About 3 weeks later I saw it on overstock for half the price and immediately bought it. It wasn't a refurbished unit, it was brand new. I was so impressed. For a battery powered vacuum Dyson really knows how to do it. It has so much power. I was very impressed on well it the suction is even on my carpets. It did just as well as my electric vacuum (Shark-which I'm happy with, can't afford the bigger Dyson yet) so for those quick jobs you need to every other day or so I would recommend this. Totally worth the money. I wish Overstock would come down a little more on the other Dyson's.
