This model was replaced for the V6, so got this on sale, which makes it a much more reasonable buy. The motor is more than adequate for most tasks. It has two speeds. In normal mode, the battery lasts about 15 minutes and about 6 minutes in 'turbo' (i.e. full speed). It comes with two attachments: A long wand for reaching into tight spaces and a combo nozzle with an upholstery brush that recesses when not in use. Being a Dyson there are a lot of optional attachments. The battery is Li-On but not removable. It comes with a wall charger. There is no charging stand. It's great for little jobs around the kitchen, cleaning the car, vacuuming drawers and sofas, and it's lightweight. It's very easy to clean: Hold the vacuum over a trash can, and press a release that pushes the bottom of the trash reservoir open, without ever touching the dirt. There is a washable filter that requires occasional cleaning. There are no disposable parts. It's good to have it around the kitchen. But keep in mind that Dyson has the same vacuums in 'stick' models, that come with more accessories and wall mount charger, but costs at least $ 100 more.

Super useful little vac. Battery is the only weak point. Not quite enough juice to do a good detail on a car. Great modern take on the dust buster!

Having a Dyson upright which I love made my decision to purchase the handheld easy. It is very easy to use and empty. Only 4 stars because I wish the charge would last longer.
