Dyson DC16 Animal Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Reviews By Customers

I purchased the DC-16 Animal to compliment my DC-14 upright. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase. It takes less than a minute to clean up small spills, especially on counters hardwood floors - much faster than pulling out the upright, unwinding the cord, plugging it in, etc. Suction is pretty good, and 6 minute battery life is more than enough for small jobs. The myriad of attachments are nice, but I personally think the vacuum would still be worth the money with just the retractable brush. I rate this product four stars simply due to the high list price. I purchased mine on sale for 4, which I feel is a good price point.

We have a baby on the way and I plan to use this to quickly clean up small spills in both in the house and in the car. My theory is that if I vacuum crumbs immediately, I remove the food source for bugs and rodents and am unlikely to have an infestation. Thanks to the Dyson DC-16, frequent vacuuming is quite painless.

Love my dyson - Brody -
I have had an upright Dyson Animal for about 8 years. You will have to pry it from my hands after I die. I am sure it will still be running strong long after the world ends. I am so happy to finally have a hand held vac that works as well as the upright. The 6 minute battery life is plenty long enough to do the quick pickups I use it for. I strongly recommend any of the Dyson Vacuums.

Overpriced Junk - Deborah - USA
I actually bought the one that costs 7. What a poorly thought out piece of junk! Do NOT waste your money. First off, the charge only lasts 3 minutes! That's right, THREE minutes! And I didn't even use the turbo function. You have never seen anyone clean as fast as I did. I tried anyway. But it was impossible. The air vents are situated in such a way that what you're trying to clean, pet hair, gets blown all over the place! In your eyes, nose, mouth,and the area you just cleaned. It's ridiculous. You spend half your time vacuuming the hair flying in the air! Then the brush head is a joke. It has maybe 3 or 4 widely disbursed brush tufts (I don't what you call them). Pathetic! Then the shape pf the thing makes it impossible to get in tight areas. I have 2 house rabbits that live in a big 2-story condo. I kid you not, I couldn't get even half of the bottom floor cleaned before it goes out. What a joke! Then, when I call to see about returning it, they tell me they will not pay for postage! So I'm out .00 for the pleasure of being lied to and ripped off! Thanks Dyson. You'll never see me buying a thing from this company, EVER again! I'm writing this to warn everyone else. Had anyone been kind enough to warn me, I could've saved myself a lot of grief and money. Never again.
