I'm going to write this thing up in a bit more detail when I have a mess to clean up - Blake is spending the week here for tonight's event, so I'll clean up his wood shavings when he leaves - but here's a quick look at the Dyson Root 6, the only handheld vacuum that doesn't lose suction and looks like a Doom weapon.
The device is quite sturdy and large, much bigger and beefier than a Dust Buster or other similar devices. In terms of sucking, boy does it suck. We were able to grab big hunks of dirt outside as well as flour in the kitchen. It comes with a long nozzle attachment along with a little brush attachment, a recharger, and a battery.
Interestingly enough, the Root 6’s motor is so powerful that the vacuum begins to shift when you turn it on, making you feel like it might go out of control and suck up your pets. We haven’t completely dirtied it up yet, so we haven’t tested the suction claim, but if its anything like the Ball we have now, we’ll be pretty impressed.
Now i have the Beastie Boys in my head.

I find I need one. I find I want one. How do I get one? I don’t have a hand-held vacuum with torque steer and my life is lacking because of it.
Ack!
Once again, Dyson appears to have trumped the competition in both function and beauty.
Is that a VSG you’re smoking? How does this thing handle cigar ashes that’ve been stomped into the carpet?
Like all Dysons, this model kicks ass!
Hands down much more powerful and much more useful than other handhelds out there.
In fact, this Dyson makes everything else look like they are just toys.
I’ve posted a review of the Dyson Root 6. It works very well, but the 5 minute battery life is a major letdown.
Great suction, but the 5 minute battery life makes it worthless for any real cleaning chore. If you want to pay $150 to pick up chips you dropped, its great. If you want to vacuum your car interior, you won’t finish without at least one 2-3 hour recharge in the middle.
