Dyson DC16 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

This vacuum averaged eighty-one point five decibels landing it in our moderate noise category. You won’t be able to talk over the vacuum, but its not loud enough to warrant ear plugs. Ease of Use on Stairs It proved to be a useful tool for cleaning our car, but the cleaning area was so small that it took a long time and the battery ran out before we could finish. Performance on Carpets Not all handheld vacuums have strong enough suction to grab these heavier particles. However, they were no match for the Dyson. Performance on Hard Floors Our only complaint was that a lot of the hair got caught in the lint strip located on the bottom of the combination accessory tool.

Crevice Tool– This crevice tool had a generous length for a handheld. We really appreciated this for jobs like cleaning out our dryer vent and getting in between the seats in our car. Ease of Use To see if the Root 6 was able to live up to the task, we rubbed pet hair onto our upholstered couch and used the vacuum to clean it up. For many pet owners, finding a vacuum that is able to keep your furnishings free of pet hair is highly desirable. One feature we really like is the trap door on the dirt container. By pressing a button on the side of the vacuum, the bottom of the dirt container literally bursts open and all the dirt falls into the garbage. Getting Started

Replacement battery charger for your Dyson DC16 handheld vacuum cleaner. 21.6 volt lithium ion battery technology re-charges up to 3 times faster than others. The Dyson DC16 Root 6 hand vacuum only requires three hours to charge for six minutes of consistent power. While we can’t test the longevity of the vacuum, we have heard from other users that the battery of this vacuum will no longer hold a full charge after a six month to one year period. We liked most things about the Dyson DC16 handheld vacuum cleaner. Dyson seems to have tools available that will handle the jobs the combination tool fell short on.

However, we have been unable to test this. We really enjoyed having the ability to grab the vacuum and go without having to be limited by a cord. We just wonder how long it will last. Noise The suction on the Dyson DC16 hand vacuum was so strong that it did a beautiful job of getting a variety of debris from our car floor. Next we used rice to simulate medium particles and found again that the Dyson was easily able to capture all the particles. Lastly, we used white beans.Like a power drill, you have to continuously apply pressure to the power button for the vacuum to be on. Since the charge only lasts six minutes, it didn’t tire our finger to hold it down.

The Dyson DC16 Root 6 comes with a charging stand that can be mounted to the wall or stand free. There is no where on the stand to store the attachments. We count this as a strike against it since the vacuum and the tools can’t be stored together. Value For Money

There is no assembly required for the vacuum itself. If you choose to mount the charging stand on the wall, you will need a few tools. The Root 6 only requires a three hour charge before using it for the first time. This is considerable less than other handheld vacuums. Battery Charge
