Dyson Root 6 DC16 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Dyson Root 6 DC16
The Dyson Root 6 DC16 handheld vacuum cleaner is the result of the Dyson company which has made efforts to make sure that its users are not burdened by sudden losses of suction by incorporating cleaners with its Root Cyclone technology.
The technology works by spinning dust and dirt into the vacuum cleaner’s collection bin.
This spinning action is the source of the name Root Cyclone.
The DC16 Dyson Root 6 vacuum cleaner is powered by a 21.6-volt lithium ion battery. This battery is touted to recharge 3 times faster than its competitors.
The unit has a constant sucking power of 36 air watts, which is also twice what other handheld vacuum cleaners could produce.
The DC16 is versatile, being able to clean carpets, smooth tabletop surfaces, and even computer keyboards. Since it is cordless, this Dyson Root 6 handheld cleaner is not messy to use without all those wires trailing behind you as you use it.
The DC16 is equipped with a hygienic system that roots out microorganisms that cause allergies, like grass pollens and ragweeds. This guarantees that only fresh and clean air is circulated into the room, without all those unclean creatures that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The DC16’s filter system is guaranteed to last a lifetime, which means you don’t have to buy new filters periodically. Instead of cleaning, the Dyson Root 6’s can be washed. Coupled with its bagless design, maintenance for the DC16 handheld cleaner is virtually cost-free.
All the dirt that this Dyson Root 6 cleaner collects are sent into a clear bin that is capable of carrying up to 0.21 gallon of debris. It comes with a dirt cup that can be emptied with just one touch, and is designed the ejected dirt from reaching your hands. People who don’t like getting their hands dirty will greatly appreciate this feature.
Other features include an LED battery life indicator, a wall-mounted battery charger with screws, a crevice tool and combination accessory tool that you could use to reach those places that are normally hard to reach. These tools use high airflow power to root out even the hardest and most stubborn pieces of dirt in your household.
Out of 193 reviews in Amazon.com, the Dyson DC16 has managed to get a five-star rating from 69 buyers. They have applauded the cleaner’s one-touch emptying feature and its suction power. The Dyson Root vacuum’s suction capabilities have been proven effective in sucking even centipedes. The one-touch emptying feature has also saved one user from the burden of having to empty one bag full of insects.
However, while positive reviews are abound, the DC16 Dyson Root 6 is not without its share of negative feedback from people who purchased the handheld cleaner.
One of the most common complaints is that the Dyson DC16 cleaner’s rechargeable battery does not last long enough to finish their cleaning tasks. It lasts only up to six minutes, after which users find themselves unable to complete their cleaning in its entirety.
Some users, however, have found that the battery’s quick recharging capacity makes up for that flaw. There were also complaints that, even if they indeed are useful to clean hard-to-reach spots, the DC16 Dyson Root 6 handheld cleaner’s attachments actually reduce its suction by up to 95%.
Other complaints point to the Dyson DC16’s weight, stating that it is heavy and awkward to carry around. While others lauded the DC16’s suction power, some users actually do gripe that it is not powerful enough for them.
