Reviewing: Nature abhors a vacuum

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....

Reviewing: Great until the battery went!

My Dyson DC16 was literally the best gadget I had ever bought until the battery strated to go after about 2 years and I found out that they are £50 to replace! That''s almost half the price I paid for it! Ridiculous!...

Reviewing: Dyson DC16 Waste of money

My Dyson DC16 performed good for a few months. Now only lasts ON for a few seconds. The price DYSON charge for it is ridiculous. Battery price almost 50% of the total price of this good for nothing vacuum cleaner Do not waste your money. Dyson should solve the problem before selling more of this ...

Reviewing: Dyson 16 Performance

I''ve a DC30, given to me as a present, I only hope it fares better than the DC16 my mother has. The DC16 worked well for nearly 2yrs., then the cut-outs started. At first it was just a minute off the run time, within a month, the run time had reduced to 5sec. bursts. I''ve used lots of products ...

Reviewing: Useless

Had ours a few years now and can only echo the reviews that everyone else has already stated. The battery life is pathetic. It NEVER lasts more than 30 seconds now without needing to go back in the charger. Dyson should be ashamed....

Reviewing: DC16 actual problem of poor performance

I am simply another user of this Dyson DC16 hand-held, that replaced the poor performing old battery with a new £45 one. However having done this with some success I decided to do some research on what the actual problem may be, with the help of some technical knowledge. Interestingly the cell ...

I purchased the Dyson DC16 in April 2010. We are now in mid July and three weeks ago the unit started to develop an intermittent fault with the starter trigger, when the trigger was pressed it would normally cut out after about five seconds, you would then have to press the trigger again and if you ...

Reviewing: very disappointed

When we bought this handheld dyson we loved it. It was the best one we had ever come across until we hit 2 years and the battery went. It will only do intermittent bursts and you have to keep pressing the trigger! I have spoke to dyson and they will not replace anything because we are just past the ...

Reviewing: Dyson DC16

I took the DC16 apart to find out how it works since the battery lasts a few seconds only. Got the electronic part (complete handle) and charger replaced by Dyson and it worked again for a view weeks, then same problem again. After I had the motor unsoldered from the electronic I hooked it up to ...

Reviewing: This is a poor unit and Dyson should be ashamed of themselves

My son bought me this as a gift and from day one it wouldn''t last long enough to whip round a car interior. It gradually got worse unitl it would only do a few seconds. The charger had packed up, only 16 V coming out. I bought a new charger ofr £16 and it would then, guess what, would barely last ...

Reviewing: DC16

Fantastic product I have both the root and the animal they do not replace my existing cleaner but are in addition so the short battery life is not a problem. They do a really ggod job of carpets rugs and small areas like cars when you don''t really need to use the main cleaner. Ideal for stairs and ...

Reviewing: Battery life sucks as much as the unit does.

I just read all six reviewsx that were quite old. Now it is 2-12-09 and guess what? The battery life IS STILL an unbelievably useless 4 to 6 minutes! I will be taking this otherwise excellant machine back to the store. What a waste of engineering, and the time and effort to produce it at Dyson ...

Reviewing: Amazing Kit

We have always used upright cleaners as we needed a powered brush to get the dog hair off carpets but our last one (a Vax) was forever breaking its drive belt and it was hard to get spares. We also got fed up with the mess from cleaning dust from the filter. The DC20 Animal with its "turbo ...

Reviewing: Poor battery life but excellent suction.

A great little machine that picks up dirt very well but the battery life is shockingly bad. When I bought this little animal dyson I was very excited because with having a dog doing the car, stairs, getting into corners of rooms etc were a nightmare with a large vaccum. However, the drawback is ...

Reviewing: AVOID BUYING THE ROOT 6

Having been entirely happy with performance of my upright Dyson vacuum cleaner I purchased the Root 6. I wanted a handheld cleaner w/o messy bags etc. After charging for 3 hours I began to vacuum stairs and after 3 to 4 minutes the Root 6 stopped and had to be recharged for another 3 hours - only ...

Reviewing: Root 6 Sucks

I had a Dyson Animal and was excited to see a handheld version so I could us it to clean my car and boat. I plugged it in, let it charge for 3 hours and then used it on my car. The suction was great. But before I got through the front seats, it died on me. I thought the batteries were defective. ...

i forgot to add, it has the most fantastic suction. when emptying the dust does not go everywhere as unlike my other cleaners. there is a trigger that you just pull and the dirt comes out at the bottom. the attachments are so easy to use. vacumming has now become a fun thing instead of a boring ...
