What to know before buying

Dyson states that up to 60 minutes applies in Eco mode with the vacuum in handheld configuration. Runtime varies with power mode, floor type and attachments, so do not assume that duration with the Motorbar head or in MAX mode.
The filtration claim of 99.99% capture for particles as small as 0.3 microns is a manufacturer claim tested in Boost mode, and the stated capture rate may vary with cleaning mode and use conditions.

Customer feedback describes the vacuum as convenient and easy to handle, with positive impressions of suction, performance and use on hardwood floors. Opinions are mixed on value, battery life and build quality. That battery-life uncertainty matters because the listed 60-minute maximum applies only in Eco mode during handheld use, rather than being a general runtime promise.
