I have the Dyson 44 and find it great. Reviews had mentioned the inconvenience of holding the switch but it's ok. We have it on the garage wall but it would charge by just setting the motor/battery unit on the floor or workbench and plugging but better on the wall as it's out of the way and on permanent charge. A little heavier in the hand than I expected but still good and once it's in action you don't feel the weight.

Those with the dysons, can you please tell me if you find them heavy in your hand, and is it a problem having to hold the switch in all the time? Also, does it have to be put up on a wall for charging?

We also have a Dyson DC34 which is great for small jobs (I create quite a lot of those), but not a mains cleaner replacement.

Mrs. Pompa loves her Dyson DC59. Just as powerful as her mains cleaner, even more efficient at picking up hairs etc. Charge with carpet head attached does not last as long as quoted, but it is sufficient to clean either upstarirs or downstairs on one charge, re-charges reasonably quickly.

Mrs. Pompa has not used her mains cleaner since she bought it. She was having back pain with the weight of her old cleaner, the DC 59 is very light. We reviewed many similar cleaners and decided that the DC59 was far better than the others, expensive , but worth every penny.

The Dyson DC44 converts to handheld and gathers up much more than fine dust. Great for the stairs and sucking up dog hairs.

I know this is an old post but i have the same question.
The handheld vacs i have tried out all seems to let very fine dust through, like plaster dust after drilling a hole. Sucks it up a treat thr the front but blasts it out thr the back again, so i get covered in pink dust, bit counterproductive!!
Anybody on here who has or can recommenda handheld vac which is capable of retaining this kind of stuff?
Thanks

This thread is going the way of the s o f a one.

Maybe you can get an answer from this vacuum cleaner review site

I hope it can help you!

I am using an AEG, it's great for us but we live in a dolls house with few plug sockets so ideal, but I don't think it would be enough for a larger house, suction is good but the dirt tank is tiny!

Thank you Florence56

I needed a light vac but hadn't heard of the Gtech Air Ram. I love it, didn't realise a cordless vacuum cleaner could be so powerful. Now I need to find a cordless hand held one that holds a charge for a reasonable time for the other bits.

Dyson DC44 is the best. It is lightweight, and user freindly cleaner.

I had to buy a new vacuum cleaner because I am not supposed to carry more than 5kg. I have bought an Air3 by Vax, which cost a lot less than a Dyson. It allows me 0.5 kg of dust before I empty it.
I have never liked the idea of bagless vacs. They always say they are good for people who have dust allergies - forgetting about the one who has to empty it. However, I'll just have to get used to it.
It seems a bit weird, has a ball type base and goes off at strange angles when using it. It's for manoeuverability but seems to manoeuvre when I do not want it to. It also seems quite plasticky compared to my Hotpoint. But it's much lighter, which is what I need.

Am considering the GTECH SW02 rechargeable sweeper. Two of my friends have this and both recommend them. John Lewis have them at the cheapest price I have found online and in stores.

Also on another thread. Have reported that one, hope someone has reported this.

Blatant advertising.
