i've been reading up on the dyson handhelds a bit recently cuz i'd like a smaller one & this one only runs for 6 mins and is meant for spot cleaning-personally i'd rather pay the extra £70 to get 15/20 mins use. just a warning to anyone excleaning it to be a 'proper' dyson!

I think a leaf blower would be a more appropriate size for apples.

Apple vacuum cleaner...

I disagree with the haters. If you want a hand held vacuum, this is fine. Suction is what you would expect from a Dyson. It only lasts 6 minutes but if you're only picking little bits up or doing the car this is ideal. It's not a vacuum for doing all the house.

That's a great price, tesco selling these for £169. Thanks OP!

can u buy the wand seperate for these?

Nice one good find . Cheers for the info

Isn't this the one that only lasts about 6 minutes ?

No wand fits this model and it is very old technology now,Dc35 would be a better buy.

Reviews aren't great for this one.

Might have to get one at that price.

We're have they got these from? old stock! and only run for max of 6 minutes at best? You can keep this the two models after this are much better. I think you get what you pay for and being a Dyson there's a reason it's cheap.

Bought one last time and promptly took back .6 mins real time usage was complete waste of time. spends most of its time plugged in charging .

6 mins is low, i've got a DC34 ( so better model) that's now a few years old, but i wouldn't be without it.
Quick clean up after the kids at dinner time before the dog gets it, or that odd sugar/flour spillage, it saves me getting the big hoover out, and a dustpan and brush wouldn't get it all.
For specific jobs, it's brilliant. For top to bottom cleaning of the house? Definately not.

This is a very outdated model as they are now up to the V6 series of which is equal to the DC59 models. I would highly recommend saving the disappointment and going for a standard V6. More suction power thanks to the V6 motor, comes with the wand and the motorised cleaning head and the battery lasts up to a more useful 20 mins.

get vac

You'll clean up with this deal

If you can afford a bit more it's probably worth holding out till the black Friday sales. Dyson will likely reduce the dc58 which outclasses this model no end!

As mentioned previously you cannot get a wand as they do not fit this model,used to work for Dyson so know all about this model

Thanks, wife's Xmas present sorted.

bought one of these two years ago on offer, probably one of our most used gadgets. Do not be put off by the 6 mins, how often do you spend longer than 6 minutes with a dust pan and brush? It takes seconds to get rid of those piles of dust and food waste that accumulate in the edges and corners each day, then you just put it back in the cupboard. Use it daily, prolly charge once every two weeks. That said, £100 vs a £3 dust pan and brush ? It's an indulgence...

I'm very unhappy with dyson.

I have a handheld model can't remember which one. Within the first year the battery needed replacing which they did under warranty. Then a tiny plastic clip which holds the cyclone assembly to the battery part broke. Just 2 weeks out of warranty. You can't buy the likely 50p plastic clip.... You have to buy a £37 assembly. I bought it. 4 weeks later the battery pack died. Need another £40 part to continue using it.

Considering this machine is used for a few minutes a week, and I paid about £200 for it, it works out a very expensive investment. I have tried to argue the fit for purpose arguement, but they're not interested. I'm going to have to waste my time chasing this up with a formal complaint.

I'm extremely unhappy with them.

It's the dc35 I have

This is great use it most days and got one the last time it was at this price. Very handy and great at getting dog hairs off the sofa.

I have one of these, it's ok for doing the stairs and picking up dry spills but nothing more. I favour Vax's these days having had both over the years.

this will be another case of each store only having 5 available then.

Oh i got the purple one (DC??) and its great - not used the big vacuum for a year now (execpt for the car)

was looking at one of these for doing the car. but seeing as I do the wife's too... which takes a lot more hoovering 6 mins not enough

Clearly nothing better to do.

Yep, they're not very useful, and the one we had died after about 6 months. Really awful.

Good price, shame miele don't seem to do one, would be far better no doubt.

100 quid for a vacuum cleaner that lasts 6 minutes? You must have a really small house to get your hoovering done in that time! Good price as it is cheaper but terrible product.

It is rubbish!

Bought few months ago and returned for a refund!

We have this, packed away, another waste of money.

Charged up time is poor.

It is good for crumbs, not much else.

I was being facetious. Sorry if you couldn't grasp that with your imagination failure. :smiley:

If you own a normal hoover for doing the whole house, you don't need this. Reading the previous comments, people tend to agree.

*loser

You don't need 99% of the things posted on here, that's not really the point. You don't need a kettle, you could just heat up your water on the hob?

It's meant for convenience.

Christ, you can't even make a joke on this site any more. Chill out, man.

We all need to understand our niche in life. I'm pretty sure yours isn't as a comedian...

,:man:

Some people are just tools mate :smiley: you know the kind who are just unhappy with life and get a kick out of annoying other people, or have OCD :smiley:

Yeah, sure. Everyone knows that unless you are a professional comedian you can't make daft posts on the internet. Get off your high horse dude.

I was being facetious :wink:

Of course we can all make jokes on here. Unfortunately, yours just aren't much cop.

So something that isn't really very good and was shockingly overpriced is now a bit cheaper. Not really a bargain, is it :sunglasses:

Great handheld vacuum. Despite what some people are saying about the duration of the battery - its plenty of time to use. I can do my stairs and a few other hard to reach places that would be awkward with my main hoover.

It obviously isn't meant to replace your main vacuum. People seem to not be thinking before posting...

There is a diffference between being facetious and being a bellchop. You are just being the latter. Have a good day.

Ahhh

Thanks for this.

Bought from John Lewis, so this gives me hope

the 6mins run time can be increased by using 3rd party batteries you can get online. :smirk:

don't you get a 2 year warranty from John Lewis anyway as well as your statuary rights?

Can we avoid blasphemy please

Anyone know if i could 'hypothetically' fit a carrot in the spout? My friend want's to know.

Dyson also stick to the rules regarding power efficiency....whereas Bosch and Siemens (along with other German manufacturers perhaps - such as Miele) have cheat devices installed.

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/oct/21/bosch-and-siemens-misleading-customers-over-efficiency-ratings-claims-dyson

I'd far sooner buy Dyson simply because it's good to have British businesses kicking about. & they are definitely good at providing useful innovations (airblade hand drier for instance).

I brought one from Aldi last year at the same price. I wouldn't be without mine.
I do my stairs within 6 mins anyway and always leave mine on charge so its ready to use when I need it.

Over priced junk.
I bought one. :disappointed:

Hey, that's a great story, man. So glad you shared that with us all. In my original post however, I was joking.

Dysons are cack I love my Henry with aerobrush and use my makita handheld for quick cleanups and is excellent also the battery lasts for over an hour :stuck_out_tongue:

If no-one gets the 'joke', can it still be called a joke?

:man:

what happened to my dust pan and brush link :-0 - oh forget, if its not a sd card for 20p or if they dont like your post, they edit it or delete it!

Cheers! That's a good deal :smiley:

My pleasure :smiley:

I'm going to wait for a supercharged V8 version... :smiley:

(good deal btw - very handy for little jobs not warranting main vacuum cleaner)

Not whilst I'm eating my cereal.

And, I put your comment back at you.

We have a "hetty" and it's very good, how does this compare?

Its from Aldi. It will be crap

As usual although more expensive and with no guarantee of getting one instore this goes hotter than previous deals for the same product even though the other deals were much cheaper. There's so much manipulation on this site it's ruined.

Perfect for scaring the dog away when I'm having dinner!

Brought this last year at this price!! Brilliant piece of kit throughly recommend it!!!

Yes, and Volkswagen

Bought one last time they were at this price and it's great. It is just for hoovering up a bit of spillage and cleaning inside the car but has great suction, easy to empty and maintain so all good from me. HOT! :innocent:

Spend a bit more and get a better one

Dyson was created for the apple generation (then same people that complain they can't get a 100% mortgage anymore). For the rest of us sensible people buy a Henry Hoover for £100 and it will do everything and last ages. Had mine for 8 years, have never put a bag in it or had any issues. Then again anyone considering kiting their house out with £400+ on a variety of Dyson gadgets go ahead.. you deserve it.. leave property ownership to sensible people.

Amazing item.

Here it is for £120 on eBay if you can't wait a week. Free postage http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/171960129627?

Even a dust and pan is much better than this.

This is not great. Go to ebay, buy a DC44 refurb with the 20% code for £136 plus £5 worth of nectar points. An extra £31 is well worth it. Yes it's a refurb but they are as new, have a 1yr guarantee and this model has more gadgets and actually does work pretty well. Battery life is also much improved

I purchased one of these about 8 months ago from Argos but ended up returning it. The suction is pretty poor it struggled to pick up basic bits. The brush bit on the end peeled off after only 2 weeks of use and you just find yourself charging it 24,7! When u want to use it its not charged and when it is charged and used you have to recharge it.. Also Tesco had it on offer at start of year for about £85 and with Black Friday coming up worth the wait.

I've had a mini dyson for 6 years like this and they are excellent still going strong use it every day you'll be surprised what you can do in 6-10 minutes bargain

Comment

Great, always wanted to leave some dust behind. Would be a shame to get it all in one go.

Something handheld lasting six minutes will be a first in my house.

Call Dyson as you have a 2 year guarantee with the product.

​haha hence the reason i haven't yet bought one! but then 100 +70 is on100170 so i'm not sure where the 300 came from anyway?

I believe the battery life on this is shocking.. I know 3 people with this all highly disappointed. However if you order the dc25 from Argos they no longer stock that model so they replace with the dc40 improved model for the same price...

dyson give u a 2year guarantee which includes the battery - just call em up and they'll send out another for free. they sent me a new charger for my dc30 just last week for free, said they would send a battery too if it didn't solve my charging problem... the new charger solved it btw.

Great deal

Garbage at any price. IMHO as the plastic falls apart after a couple of years.
Dyson over rated.

Just get a henry. and plug it into the mains will last a lifetime and made of unbreakable plastic..

Probably 3 per store. Gl getting them...

Why do people have to leave negative comments about this? or any other deal. The fact this person found this deal and passed it on is great in my book so leaving a negative comment is rude! If you don't like it don't buy it! Personally I think this is a great deal and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you.

Can't believe 6 minutes! For spot cleaning i guess it's ok and cheap for a Dyson but i guess theres a reason for that

Gotta be honest I own thus one the the 6 minutes isn't enough.Ive bought the new v6 animal and that's worth every penny.My dc39 is now used for clean ups after my daughter.Not bad for the price just wish it had a few extra minutes. :disappointed:

I got one of these the last time they were down to £100 and it's honestly one of the bust buys I've made. It's ace for using in the car and I use it way more than my normal vacuum cleaner. The charge lasts 5 minutes and I admit that there have been a couple of times where I've needed it a bit longer but generally this is a really good machine. Would definitely recommend.

Good deal. I spent more and got the v6 for £189 from Argos. Needed more than 6mins

got mine from blackburn aldi :sunglasses:

I picked mine up this morning. Stock was being kept in the store office and not put out on the shop floor. You had to ask staff for one, pay at the till and then they brought it out of the office for you.

On the day of the offer, I visited the store at 10am to pick one of these up. It turns out they didn't have any stock and one stock assistant said he didn't see any of these arrive in the morning delivery even though it was listed in their special deals catalogue. There were other special deal items also unavailable. Sounds like a ploy to get customers in the store and spend elsewhere. Very disappointed with Aldi!

Very pleased with my dc35 purchase from the ebay dyson outlet. As mine is a refurb the manual stated 1 year guarantee. When I registered on the website it show I now have two years from the date I registered, happy days!!!

I have one of these, its perfect for anyone with kids. For doing the sofa and round the kitchen table after the feeding. Oh and ours lasts longer than 6 minutes, im sure i have had about 15-20 minutes out of one charge.
