Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dyson DC16 Animal Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: The powerful suction helps to offset battery life. You finish the job MUCH quicker with this product.
Summary: 5 Stars
We have two small dogs, three cats, three litter boxes, and three bedrooms with carpet. Everything else is hard wood.
I read the reviews here with caution, and debated long before purchasing this product. I looked at what I would be using it for, and didn't think I would need it for much more than six minutes at a time. We also have the Dyson Animal Upright vacuum, so for anything that would require more than six minutes of work, it's not a hassle to haul the big guy out. (And whoa - does that work! Wow.)
Two of the litter boxes are in my "office" (one of the carpeted bedrooms), so I keep this little guy in here, plugged in next to one of the boxes. Every so often, I use it for about a minute to vacuum up any stray crystals, whether they are near the box or elsewhere in the office. When I notice that the hallways have some dust/cat hair building up along the edges, I use this little guy for about thirty seconds and with the crevice tool and the hallways are dust free. The suction is so powerful that you finish your task in what seems like 1/10 of the time if you were using a Dust Buster instead. Same goes for other areas of the apartment. If I see a little dust in the corner, I bring out the little guy. I think that I've used it about one hundred times since purchasing it a month ago, and love it. Couldn't be happier. And the apartment is a lot cleaner. Knowing that I don't have to haul out the larger unit with the cord that needs to be unwrapped, plugged in, then wrapped up when finished, motivates me to be more proactive. (I need a nudge in that direction when it comes to cleaning.)
No other portable/cordless has the power that this has, and the turbo brush on the Dyson (on all Dysons) actually works, whereas every so-called turbo brush I've encountered on lesser vacuum cleaners (Hoover and Bissell) never did. The turbo brush spins powerfully, the suction is fantastic, and it picks up EVERYTHING. Well, not as much of EVERYTHING as the upright, but this little guy blew me away.
The other nice thing about it is that many of the other Dyson attachments (that I bought in addition to what came with the upright) fit this product, making it that much more versatile.
It's expensive, but if I accidentally drop kicked it off the porch tomorrow and it shattered on the cement below, I'd buy a new one immediately. (Of course, I don't plan on drop kicking it any time in the near future.)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR PET OWNERS.
Description of Dyson DC16 Animal Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Designed for pet hair pick-up, this handheld vacuum cleaner features a motorized brushbar that turns off at the touch of a button to protect delicate rugs and bare floors. It also comes with a crevice tool for cleaning between couch cushions and other hard-to-reach areas and a combination tool that converts from a nozzle to a brush tool for dusting computer keyboards, tabletops, bookshelves, and more. The vacuum cleaner supplies a constant suction power of 36 air watts--twice the power of other handhelds, while its Root Cyclone technology, which separates dirt from the air by centrifugal force, ensures efficient cleaning with no clogging or loss of suction. Like many handhelds, the Dyson Animal delivers up to six minutes of continuous cleaning on each full charge, but thanks to its lithium ion battery, it recharges up to three times faster. The unit's hygienic 1/5-gallon clear bin quickly empties without ever having to touch the dirt--just press the button and dust empties from the bottom. Other highlights include an LED battery indicator, a wall-mounted battery charger and fixing screws, a 5-foot charger cord, and lightweight construction at just 3-4/5 pounds. The handheld vacuum cleaner measures 4-2/7 by 16-8/9 by 9-2/7 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.Handheld Vacuums
