The Dyson DC16 is a bagless vacuum which is hand-held. It is priced extremely well and can be purchased for around $150. You can also pick up a refurbished (or remanufactured) Dyson DC16 for about $100 which includes a six month factory warranty.

Dyson claims this vacuum cleaner has double suction power compared with other handheld vacuums and as is the case with all Dysons, will never lose suction. It also charges about three times faster than its competition. The vacuum comes with with a wall mount cradle and two accessories - a crevice tool and a combination accessory tool.

Being a cordless hand-held vacuum, the DC16 Root 6 is light and can be used just about anywhere including in the car. You empty the canister with a one touch system which makes it quick, convenient and a breeze to tidy up after use.

The vacuum cleaner is best for quick picking up of debris. With 36 air watts of suction power, it is powerful enough to pick up large debris from a variety of surfaces including tabletops, carpet and even the keyboard on your computer which can become notoriously dirty.

There is no need to replace bags or filters in the Dyson DC16 as it contains a small canister to catch the waste. There is also no dirty air being emitted into the air whilst you use it, meaning those suffering from asthma can breathe easy.

The Dyson DC16 Handheld has an easy trigger hold and is light to hold. It is highly ergonomical as the switch can be held on when the cleaner is in use and it is easy to use quick bursts to pick up tough items.

This cleaner is ideal when a mess has been made and you need full suctioning power for a short time. The vacuum will last for six minutes on full strength suction power and this is more than enough time to pick up all debris from a spill or other mishap such as a clump of pet hair in the carpet. It has also been noted that the DC16 is incredibly quiet in comparison to other handheld vacuum cleaners.

Speaking of pets, Dyson recently introduced the DC16 Animal version of this vacuum. The "Animal" model features a motorized brushbar that can be  used to pick up pet hair or easily turned off when not needed, thus saving battery power.

This cleaner is a wonderful addition to your household cleaning arsenal. It should be combined with an upright cleaner such as the DC18 Slim which can be used throughout the whole house without time limits.

The Dyson DC16 Handheld is a must have if you have children or pets in the house. It is easy to grab from the wall mounted battery charger and all mess can be cleaned up in seconds. Because you put it straight back on the charger, it can be ready to use again in no time.
