Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm a very smart girl, because I bought a Dyson vacuum and my life became easier.

This Dyson is very handy for a quick clean-up. Very satisfied with this product.

This is a powerful handheld vacuum. It picks-up dirt easily and effectively. We like using it.

Love this, works great ! Just Perfect! use it on the stairs and in the car, would highly recommend

I highly recommend this product as it meets my any expectation it is fast small easy to use and very economical it is worth it.

As an owner of two Persian cats I have tried several hand vacs, I’m amazed at how well this picks up fur and more impressive, how quickly! Best purchase I’ve made. I think I’m officially a die hard Dyson customer!

Very handy for vacuuming cars and under sofa and bed. Great price and easy to clean.

great purchase! powerful handheld vacuum. highly recommended!

I use this in the garage and for the cars. The attachments for my other Dyson fit as well.

Worth every penny. I have had numerous handheld vacuums and this one blows them all away by far.

Excellent product. Solid build, good accessories and excellent performance.

After reading so many great reviews on this machine, I decided to take the plunge and purchase one. This is my 1st Dyson vacuum I have owned and I am beyond disappointed. On a full charge, I am getting 5 to 8 minutes of use (and that is not even continuous use through that time) when it is on the max setting. Out of the box, brand new this is all I have been able to get for time to use this vacuum before it needs a 5 hour recharge. Buyer’s remorse doesn’t even describe how I feel about this purchase. I honestly feel like a fool; 5 hour charge for 5 minutes of use shouldn’t even be allowed to be sold as a cordless vacuum. It’s so bad that I convinced myself that someone must have swapped out the battery piece and put there used one on the machine and sealed the box back up and returned it. I just spent $330 with tax and the website basically states you may need a new battery and wants me to pay $130 for a new battery before tax. Highway robbery! And what if that’s the best this vacuum can do with these batteries, then I will have $500 sunk into this machine and a unit that works for 5 minutes. I get that battery power will be used faster on the max setting, and run time will be reduced, but 12 to 15% of the 40 minute time they claim that it will last on the low setting which frankly is just not powerful enough for doing a good efficient job at vacuuming has me pretty upset right now. How did they ever think this would be ok and at this price point? Stay far away, don’t get sucked in to the good reviews, this is an honest review of my experience and I hope it helps others to go a different direction if they are looking to purchase a handheld cordless vacuum.

It made it easier to vacuum my car and used it to clean small areas.

dyson products are quality.they cost more but will do the job and last longer.

The last one I had lasted over 8 years. I expect this one to be the same

Works like a charm. Gets all the dog hair out of my car and off my sofa.

The Dyson Car and Boat Handheld provides powerful suction in a relatively compact and light package, making this is compelling option for those looking for an on-the-go vacuum. For the most part, this vacuum lives up to the Dyson name but may not be the most versatile or best option for all users. There's a lot to like about this vacuum which excels in performance. As mentioned above, it features plenty of power while being manageable and compact, all while being relatively quiet and having a lengthy battery life lasting upwards of 50 minutes on normal mode (there's also an extra powerful max mode, which I haven't found much of a need for thus far). Beyond the performance, this package includes only 3 accessories, but all 3 serve a strong purpose. The crevice tool and the multitool have been included with a majority of Dyson vacuums I've had over the years, but the 3rd, the mini motorized tool, is a new one for me and offers an effective cleaning ability on any number of surfaces from cars to stairs to hard to reach plots of floor. It's also remarkably easy to clean, meaning hair isn't much of an issue. There are, however, a couple of issues that I do have with this vacuum. My main issue is that it does not have a removable battery. This is an issue for two primary reasons; you can't have multiple batteries on hand for longer run time and as the vacuum ages and the battery deteriorates, you'll end up having to throw the entire vacuum out instead of just replacing the battery. My other main issue is an ergonomic issue I've seen with all handheld Dyson vacuums I've used; it features a trigger style on switch, meaning you have to continuously hold the button down to use the vacuum. I'm not entirely sure why Dyson has chosen this method, but to me (and my wife), this is not as user friendly as an on/off button style trigger. My final issue is that seemingly in the name of being a "handheld" first vacuum, Dyson has neglected to include a wand in the package. This brings me to my final point about the Car and Boat. This is essentially a rebranded Dyson V8 vacuum with the added mini power head accessory instead of a floor attachment and without a wand. What this means is that if you already have a handheld Dyson vacuum, your money will likely be better spent buying accessories for your existing vacuum instead of shelling out money for the Car and Boat. Overall, I've found the Dyson Car and Boat to be a powerful, compact, and portable vacuum. Whether it's worth your money likely comes down to whether or not you already have a Dyson handheld style vacuum. The lack of a removable batter and the absence of a wand also make it less versatile than it could be. But at the end of the day, it's a Dyson vacuum, and that means it's a strong performer.

The machine is good but the only issue I have is that the battery life is not good at all.

Have been using this vacuum mainly for my vehicle and small areas around my home. The obvious positives always stand out with Dyson, which are power, solid build (but slight drawbacks I'll get to) and feel of durability. Dyson rarely if ever fails in these area. This is marketed as a vehicle/boat vacuum and that's fine and it does its job. The suction power is undeniable and with the onboard cleaning attachments, even the smallest amount of crumbs, french fries that fall between the seats, our no match for the quality and power that Dyson brings to the table. You will need to charge this up. Right out of the box, but once done, you are ready to go. I found that you will get a good forty minute charge out of the vacuum after it has been fully charged capacity. The unit comes with an on board charger and charges fairly quickly. There are a couple of filters which seem to be standard with all dyson products and can be easily removed and cleaned. Just make sure you allow for proper drying time to avoid any unwanted odors. Clean up and the dumping of debris is very simple, has easy access. You simply pull up on a tab, and the bucket is ready for dumping. Again, with the attachments you can use this as a mini sweeper, if you will, and it also comes with attachments to reach those hard to get spaces in between seats under seats in tight spaces. If you are using this for a car and or boat. A couple of reasons, for not giving a full 5 star rating is due to first of all, the vacuum feels a bit bulky, it is easier. I'm sure for boats, but could be a bit cumbersome when navigating through a vehicle. Also, since this is a unit that on paper is to be used for cars and or boats, a real plus would have been the inclusion of a wall mount for easy or storage and access for use. I've always been a fan of dyson products and continue to be one a smaller and sleeker design would have put this over the top and easily a five star rating. I do, however, absolutely recommend this product for not only boat ant or vehicle use. But for those smaller, clean up jobs around the home.

In the Q&A on the Dyson-car+boat cordless vacuum it states the vacuum on a full charge will run up to 50 minutes. My Dyson ran 9-11 minutes fully charged! I tried it 3 times and the same thing happened. Disappointed, I return it. Also takes several hours to charge. Not worth $ 199.00.Disappointed
