    It's a great little machine, but I wish there's a variety of attachments I can purchase. I think it's discontinued now.

    the only downside to this is that now Dyson has integrated the battery, so you can no longer change the battery yourself.

    All in all I'm very impressed with the Dysin hand held. It works very well for my needs but the battery life is only 15 minutes (6 on super mode) and takes 3+ to charge. Good for cars or small spaces.

    This handheld has been the most convenient solution to life's little messes. Exceptional battery life when not in "max" mode and powerful suction make this our house's go to for any little mishap and after meals. It's the adult desert.

      Hello Gigi,

      Thanks for your review. We're very happy to hear you are enjoying the light weight and easy assembly of your DC56 cordless. At a mere 4.7 lbs, this machine is able to deliver fantastic suction power in a very portable package. By delivering 65 airwatts of suction power, it ranks among the most powerful handhelds on the market.

      In addition to this, the DC56 offers up to 15 minutes of fade-free performance before requiring a recharge. Using a nickel manganese cobalt battery pack, the DC56 releases its charge evenly so there is no drop in performance. Other cordless machines may claim longer run times, but thanks to fading batteries, clogging bags and filters, they can quickly lose up to half their suction power in use. When empty, it will take 3.5 hours to get back to full charge. This has been reduced from 4.5 hours on earlier Dyson cordless and handheld models.

      We’re always interested to hear more about your experience with your machine. Feel free to contact [email protected] with your contact information and we’re keen to help.

      Best wishes,
      Dan Dyson-EN_US

    The battery run time is too little. Not what you would expect from Dyson.

      Hi Kanye,

      Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. It is unusual to hear that your machine is only getting 2 minutes of run-time. The DC56 is designed to provide 15 minutes of continuous power on standard power mode and 6 minutes on the much more powerful MAX power mode. When purchased new, this machine will come with a 2 year Dyson warranty as well as a team of experts that value the opportunity to ensure your machine is performing as it should.

      We're eager to discuss this with you further. Please feel free to e-mail your contact information to [email protected] and we're keen to help.

      Best wishes,
      Dan
