 There are better products for a lot less money September 5, 2008
This vacuum has been nothing but problems for me. The battery doesn't last longer than 10-12 minutes of cleaning. After a few months the machine wouldn't work at all. I called customer service, and she said it's a common battery problem and sent me a free replacement because it was still under warranty. About 6 months later, the same thing began to happen, but now the machine was out of warranty. Battery replacements are very expensive, more than the cost of several brand new competing handheld vacuums.
The cleaning power is not very impressive, and considering the short battery life, it is not worth the money. I strongly recommend that people avoid this purchase and find a better value.
 great for hand held August 30, 2008
I love this vacuum. Yes, the battery doesn't last that long, but 6 minutes of powerful suction is plenty for a hand held vacuum. It is not designed to clean a whole room - it is for small spills or hard to reach areas. I highly recommend it. And for bigger areas I use my large dyson which I adore.
Great Suction! August 27, 2008
We love this handheld vac so much! We use it all the time and have had it over one year now and it has not lost suction. I found that with the KONE and other dust buster type vacs, the machines just push the mess around - like the vacs blow the items, do not suck them up. It's worth the price and if you get it at Bed Bath & Beyond you save $30 with the 20% off coupon!!! That's what we did :) My fiance loves this machine so much, he no longer uses the real vac, but walks around with this little handheld. We're excited to see that someone has bought us a real Dyson full sized vac off of our wedding registry for the rest of our home. We love Dyson!
Ouch, hurts in a few ways ... August 24, 2008

wrist and wallet. Dyson definitely was charging for the ray-gun looks on this hand-held vacuum, which impressed the kids and dogs at first. I admit, that's why I bought it on impulse. Now I am really tired of sore wrist, sore finger (hard to hold that trigger back for long, yes I am a big baby) and the poor suction. The dirt-holding canister opens all too easily when you don't want it to, believe me. What an adventure. Really, it seems to be designed to pick up a few crumbs off an otherwise spotless kitchen counter, and who wouldn't use a paper towel or dishrag for that? Or your immaculately clean hands? Better off buying a much less expensive DustbusterBlack and Decker CHV9600 9.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster, though I don't like the redesign where the dirt, etc., has to go round a corner to be collected--really gets stuck in my 15.6V cyclonic action model.

 AWESOME! August 23, 2008
OK, first... for everyone giving this a bad review due to battery life READ THE BOX. In Yellow writing on the front... it says "For Quick Pick-Ups". So say you accidentally spill some cheerios on the counter (and it was when the box was almost empty so you get all the cheerio dust too)... Grab the Root 6, in a few seconds it's all cleaned up. It's not meant to clean your stairs or clean your ENTIRE car. That being said, this thing is GREAT! It's awesome for cleaning up the counter in our bathroom (hair and whatnot), behind the toilet, and pretty much anything else small enough to not merit plugging in the big Dyson. It is very easy to empty and charges in 3 hours. I love how it mounts to the wall. It comes with an adapter that will allow you to also use the Asthma and Allergy tools. The only thing I wish they would have added was a clip on the wall mount to hold the crevice and multi-function tools it comes with. When I'm not using the crevice tool I have to throw it in the drawer.
Great hand vac! Don't listen to the battery complainers... if you use this for what it was designed to do you will be very very happy!
