Dyson DC 16 handheld is showcased at Show!!

[Steve Clayton]

It's a banner headline on the SBS site. I was expecting it to be a handheld radio but no - it's a vacuum cleaner!!

Friends have got one of these and disappointed in that from full charge the battery life is about 5 minutes with a 4 hour recharge time - but to be fair to Dyson it does state the running/recharge times.

Brilliant bit of PR - doesn't say what stand it's on (BigNick's pile of bricks springs to mind!)

So will you be demo'ing these on the YBW stand????

 

[Mattwalker]

Dont buy one, we did and its useless. Five minutes if your lucky as well and no power whatsoever.

Looks good though /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Demo? you must be joking, our cleaners would not know what a hoover / dyson is...

Our close neighbours in the marina have one, it looks cool, & works well for 5 mins!!!

We have a small cylinder vacuum from Tesco's (£14.99) 1400w with free bags! Damn good suction too!

Its great and hoover up stuff when plugged into mains! Can buy lots of these for the cost of a Dyson!

they have their very own stand at the boat show! just outside the Solent Hall I think when I was wondering around there today. Shame really as I know one or two marine companies could not get in this year.

Lightweight, easy to use, long-lasting battery, easy to empty(takes about two seconds intotal) - best thing I have ever bought off the selly-telly!

[B175Chris]

Any item with the word Rotato in it has to be a great product! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think it looks like a ray gun from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Can't stand Dyson stuff anyway.
