15mins on normal power, 6mins on high. If it lasted much longer you would only end up with cramp in your finger.
I have one, it is fantastic, wouldn't want to be without it.

Lasts 4 minutes on full power.

"DC34 delivers 15 minutes of powerful, constant suction – or 6 minutes on Boost mode for tougher cleans. It's powered by the Dyson digital motor, which spins up to 5 times faster than a racing car engine. DC34 has a lithium-ion battery that recharges up to 3 times faster than others, and Dyson's patented Root Cyclone™ technology for no loss of suction."

"Dual power mode 15 minutes of high constant suction or 6 minutes on MAX power"
Just stick it back on charge after you've done. I can't imagine a car will need the max power setting.

Shouldn't be used on actual liquid: that'll clog it up really fast. It will then need a really good clean including the cyclone (which isn't easy)

This is a great little tool for bits n bobs on the floor. Im a childminder and I use it 2-3 times a day. I agree not the best for the car, but for jobs where you can't be arsed getting the big Dyson out - its a great bargain. Best sucking hand held device out there !!!!!!!!!!!! I paid full price for it 5 years ago. Still going strong now .

This is a fantastic deal.
Please can someone who has bought this help me with a question - given it's refurbished, have you noticed a shorter run time with the battery, faster deterioration of charge held over time etc?
My concern is that if the battery fails right after the one year guarantee period, the original replacement from Dyson is a whopping 60 quid! There are many reports of 3rd party batteries on Amazon and the 'bay failing within a few weeks.
Many thanks in advance.

Just pretend your battery is goosed just before 1 year. And get replacement or refund.? I know people who do this with every single appliance they have each year. = free upgrades too. Personally I cant bring myself to do it.

Youre right it says v6 trigger lasts 1.5× more than dc34, in that case i wouldnt bother with the dc34 at all. Also i didnt know its more expensive as i got it free to review.

QMish to DillornoDill

Since we are all having an English Class:
What is the difference between a hoover and vaccum?
Hoover is a synonym of vacuum.
As nouns the difference between hoover and vacuum is that hoover is a vacuum cleaner (irrespective of brand) while vacuum is a region of space that contains no matter.
As verbs the difference between hoover and vacuum is that hoover is (british) to clean (a room, etc) with a vacuum cleaner, irrespective of brand while vacuum is to clean (something) with a vacuum cleaner. :smile:

This is probably the best buy I have made. Use it all the time, think it's run out of battery before I finished job once in 3 years. I Hoover my car every week with it coz it's so easy (used to do it about once a month) so 15 mins is plenty time. I am still gobsmacked that when my kids drop crumbs etc in their room they come down, get this and clean up. No way would they do this with a full size Hoover. In terms of vouchers/codes I've transferred my nectar points to eBay vouchers - haven't looked at this deal but might be able to use them here.

Even on high it cant clean a car, its ok for crumbs thats all. Doesnt have much suck. The only sucker was me who belived it would be any good and was taken in by the marketing by Dyson. Not anymore wont waste my money on Dyson products anymore.
1 year warranty. Dyson must have great confidence in the reliability of their second hand products.

You are correct only idiots do not understand that a longer warranty encourages purchases and demonstrates that a company has faith in their products. If reliable it would not cost anything and offer peace of mind.
BMW 3 year warranty. Toyota 5 years, Kia 7. Many laptops have a 2-3 year warranty.
Samsung phones - 2 years. Are they all stupid? "Only get idiot's"!

A vacuum is a place with nothing in it, a vacuum cleaner is a machine that cleans by drawing air (and dirt) from something dirty and removing the dirt from the air.

Had mine for years now. We couldn't get on without it. Incredibly handy.
It's only meant to clean small areas up (when you don't want to get out the big vacuum), although if you're fast at it you can clean the whole stairs and a bit more.
I use it to clean my car but it won't pick up small stones very well. Obviously if your car is an absolute mess then its best to get the bigger one.
People who are saying it takes 3.5 hours to charge - it certainly doesn't feel that long but I've never timed it. We just plug it back in when not in use.
Battery lasts about 6 mins.

I must confess I'm struggling with the value proposition here. If, after spending 83 quid, all this Dyson does is mop up large crumbs, how much should you spend on top on a vacuum cleaner that does a 'proper' job of cleaning your car??

That my friend is the genius of advertising. The same way you forget what you want when you go In a shop, unless you have a plan.

Agree. However 'Hoover' pales in comparison to what Coca Cola managed to pull off with the big, round, jolly Santa Clause we all know today, with 99% having no clue about the association with the brand.
