Rating  - Pointless Rip-off
I was excited when I saw that Dyson had come out with a handheld vacuum cleaner-- with various animals I allowed myself to think that it was just what I needed. What a mistake. A real waste of money and space. How much money did they save by putting in a battery that lasts less than 5 minutes? How irritating is it to have the machine stop in the middle of a job? My old Black and Decker was so far superior that I'd rather look for a used one at this point. It also does not do a better job at cleaning, suction, or anything else, and the charger takes up a lot of space on the counter. This verges on a rip-off. They do have good marketing, though. I wouldn't buy any of their products now. They are clearly simply greedy. What a Waste!!
Rating  - Meets my needs just fine
After reading the reviews on Amazon, I thought this tool was going to be a disappointment. In fact, we waited an extra 6 months to make our purchase. But I got frustrated trying to find a new filter for the handheld we were using.
It has terrific suction - much better than my old dustbuster had. The battery life is limited, however, as advertised, the suction doesn't suffer at all as the battery drains down. If I need to vacuum for more than 5 minutes, then I figure it is probably time to pull out the big vacuum and get to work. But with 4 cats and a busy life, this handheld is great for picking up dirt, cathair, dust balls, and kitchen crumbs.
It lost a star because it was difficult to figure out how it all worked at first. Also, we had to use it, and charge it a couple of times before the battery seemed to get fully charged. I really like how easy it is to dump out the debris without making a mess.
Bottom line, I think this is a great tool. It's worth bearing with it when you get started.

I'm very pleased with this product. The power of the vacuum is great. The best handheld vacuum that I've ever purchased. Highly recommend it.
Rating  - Not impressed
Well, I purchased the Dyson Root 6, and I must say, I am very unhappy with it. The 6 minute battery life coupled with the awkward heaviness of the item makes it extremely annoying to use. If the Root 6 had the capability to plug into a wall, I wouldn't be writing this negative review. I'd probably be okay with how heavy and difficult it is to handle, but it seems ridiculous to me that I spent $150 on a product that works for 6 minutes at a time. Not to mention it doesn't even lift pet hair off of fabric. My el cheapo Bissell does that with no problem.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does actually work, it's just not practical. Furthermore, it would be nice if the box said that it only stays charged for 6 minutes. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had known beforehand. Serves me right for not doing research, but at the same time, when you see a name like "Dyson" you expect it to be a good product, worth the extra money.
Sadly, this was a waste. I'm returning it to Best Buy.
