Title: overpriced and worthless - bad combination
Product review: I have had this vacuum for about two years. In that time I have replaced the battery twice - VERY expensive and available only from Dyson. Now the unit is malfunctioning. It will run for about three seconds and then stop. Press the button again and it will work for another three seconds. I agree with an earlier review that the switch is a real hassle.I am one of those people who loves their Dyson upright. We have the Animal and think it is great. This handheld is a piece of junk. It's suction is no better than a cheap DustBuster. It it poorly balanced and very difficult to use. Even with a new, fully charged battery, it would only operate for about 5 minutes.I just threw this Dyson out and bought a Dirt Devil and I'm delighted. I just wish I hadn't spent so much money earlier for such a poorly designed product. I've learned my lesson: You don't always get what you pay for.
