Dyson Root 6

The flamethrower-style Root 6 looks like it came straight from a Ghostbusters prop closet, complete with a trigger for a switch and enough power to melt the

Wall-mountable. Nifty, versatile combo brush

Vacuuming requires depressing the trigger continuously ⿿ a drag. Battery drains quickly (it lasted about two-thirds as long as the other models in our test). No attachment storage built in

Review: Dyson Root 6 Vacuum

The Root 6 may look like some sort of pneumatic drill from the future, but its hard-core vacuum lineage makes for a serious sucking machine....

Easy-to-clean HEPA filter and dustbin. Bundled with crevice and brush attachments. Lightweight at 5.7 ounces. See through dustbin is pure eye candy for neat freaks. Kick-ass Dyson suction. Kick-ass Dyson design

Power button causes trigger finger-fatigue. Pathetic battery life. Crevice attachment made from cheap plastic makes it vulnerable to gashes and scrapes. Vacuuming at an angle blows cold air from the vents straight into face. Pricey for a handheld
