Dyson DC16 Root 6 Reviews:

“…it’s a excellent vacuum, and our overall score reflects that. It will do an excellent job of cleaning up almost any mess you throw at it, as long as it doesn’t take you longer than a few minutes to complete the clean up.” – Exper Review

“If you’ve ever used a Dyson, you know the name means powerful, efficient, easy-to-use, and well made. This handheld wonder is more than I expected. The power brush makes short work of my terriers’ hair on fabrics and those bits of “mystery” bits I find on the carpeting in my home.” – User Review
