Features of Dyson DC16 Animal Handheld Vacuum Cleaners
|
- Dyson Root 6 Cyclone™ Technology: provides constant powerful suction. The advanced system spins the air at incredibly high speeds, causing the dust and dirt to be flung to the bottom of the dust bin. The airflow remains unobstructed no matter how much you pick up which is why a Dyson vacuum doesn’t lose suction.
- Motorhead Attachment: unique attachment tool with an air-driven brush bar to remove pet hair from furniture, upholstery and stairs – great for cars too!
- Accessory Tools: include a long crevice tool for cleaning edges, tight gaps or awkward spaces and a combination accessory tool that can work as an upholstery nozzle or dusting brush
- Lightweight and Ergonomic: weighs 3.8 lbs and has balanced weight distribution for easy handling
- Durable Construction: made from the strongest material available to withstand use after use
- Clear Bin™: the dust bin is made of tough polycarbonate that is clear so you can see how well it is working and when it needs to be emptied
- Hygienic and Quick to Empty: one-touch emptying system, just push down the button and the bin empties from the bottom - no need to touch the dirt
- Washable Filters: lifetime filters never need to be replaced, just wash every 3-6 months
- Battery Power: powered by a 21.6 volt lithium ion battery, the vacuum will run with powerful suction for 6 minutes and it recharges up to 3x faster than others (3 hrs to fully recharge)
- Recharging Dock: can be wall mounted or set on the floor. The DC16 easily slides in or out of the charging dock
- LED Battery Indicator: shows the battery charge levels

Pluses:
- Impressive suction power
- Surprisingly easy to handle with a well balanced weight distribution
- Attachment tools are very easy to put on or take off and all securely snap into place
- Motorhead attachment is great for cleaning couches, chairs, stairs and the car
- Dust bin holds a decent amount of dirt and is easy to empty with just a push of a button
- Washable filters paired with the dust bin means no money spent on replacement parts
- LED battery indicator lets you know when the battery is fully charged or running low
Minuses:
- It is noisy
- Only lasts 6 minutes on full charge
- Takes 3 hrs to recharge fully; though that time is shorter than other handhelds on the market, it still is a long time to wait for only 6 minutes of use
Summary:
Quite frankly, we were more than a little skeptical as to why such a strange looking handheld vacuum could be worth the money, especially when it only lasts 6 minutes on a single charge. Once you put it in your hand and start using it, you are instantly converted! It is light, well balanced and easy to use. The Dyson handheld vacuums come in two models, the DC16 which comes with a crevice nozzle and combination dust brush/upholstery tool and the DC16 Animal that has the standard accessory tools and an air-driven motorhead. We put the DC16 Animal to the test on a chocolate velvet couch covered with white cat hair and miracles happened- a couch clean enough to sit on and we had juice to spare as the vacuum only works when the trigger is depressed. We also removed all the dirt from a car which had been used for transporting spring plants, and it did the job without bringing out the full sized vacuum from the closet. We found the dust bin to be both capacious and easy to empty, and its filters are washable. It comes with some really useful extra tools for dusting and upholstery. A charger station is provided for easy storage.
