We put three popular, new handheld vacuum cleaners to the ultimate test: 32 oz. of pre-sifted flour, and 14 oz. of wet disgusting kitty litter.

Dude at the end looks like Jeremy Piven. Lol.

TEST-ACCOUNT-PAGE says:

So nothing about lifetime or how long they perform for? Not even something on battery quality?

FuzzyTronics says:

Who's John Dyson? Is he a silent partner alongside James Dyson?

Jody Damankos says:

James Dyson!

William Todd (williamtodd) says:

Dyson has been so over-advertised for the horrible quality that they are.  not to mention the ridiculous price tag on Dyson products.  There are far better products on the market for far less cost that do better jobs.  

Electrolux lad says:

dyson is garbage

George David says:

B&D is the boss!

Chackers says:

What I don't like about this vacuum is that you have to set it down somewhere and plug the cord into to charge it.  It, and all other handheld vacuums, should simply be placed in wall mountable charger, and charge automatically.  This is not only a waste of space, but a clumsy eyesore.

BenRichardsneB says:

And, it's James Dyson, not John…

MrXdonovanx1 says:

Updated one please

Andrew Herrera says:

Toast says:
