Any one please? For what sort of usage? There are zillions of toy lightweight ones for just doing the car once in a blue moon. Their weakest feature is usually the batteries which not so gradually fade with time. The Dyson ones aren't bad although somewhat overpriced. The one that has just been most recently superceeded is the best value for money. There is a guy on our local market with refurbed ones at much better prices. Runtime is about 40 minutes on a full charge and it sucks pretty well. You do have to do some regular routine maintenance or it loses suction. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Any one please? What use? In tha car, around the home for ordinary spot domestic cleaning, small DIY dust collection? DIY use, plaster brick dust etc, quite often invalidates any guarantee. Have a B&D "Dustbuster" almost useless, a dustpan and brush is much more effective. Also a Dyson DC6, at least I think it's a DC6 can't actually see a model number anywhere on it. Works pretty well for domestic used, small canister which fills remarkably quickly. And the washable filter is a pain to wash as it's a narrow cone, with the dirty air flowing from the inside out so getting the muck out of the narrow cone and not washing it to the tip is awkward. -- Cheers Dave. |

... Any one please? Our Dyson V8 Animal fell apart after 14 months. Got a full refund. As with most items you don't find out their good & bad points until you actually use them so we bought a Vax Blade which was 1/3 price. Pluses - Good suction, long battery life, even with the powered brush head. We haven't managed to drain the battery yet. Minuses - Slightly stiff connectors, anyone with arthritic hands would probably struggle Filter cleaning required every second use for which I use another vacuum cleaner. -- Regards wasbit |
