Title: Average cleaning performance, sub-standard battery
Product review: Suction is ok - it does not lessen over time, but it also doesn't start off that terribly strong. You aren't going to pick up anything that isn't right below the nozzle. I was able to clean the tile stairway without a problem, though. I don't know how effective it would be if it were a heavy carpet - suction just doesn't seem strong enough for that. What really brings this product down is the horrible battery life. I had just finished the last stair and it died. A full charge only lasted about 6 minutes. And, when I sent an email to Dyson questioning if this was expected behavior or what could I do to improve the battery life, no response at all. So, between high price for the quality, 'OK' suction, and rotten battery life and customer service, 2 stars is all it gets. It would be down to 1 if the design wasn't so nice, as far as functionality and appearance.
