Battery life a little short, expensive


General Comments

Bought the Animal version (£40 or so premium) of the DC16 as we have a couple of cats. It's a pretty expensive vacuum cleaner (not a Hoover, that's another brand!), but it does a VERY good job for a battery powered unit. The powered 'Animal' head with rotating brush is very handy for removing pet hair from furniture and is a credible alternative to a mains powered machine for small clean-ups.
The only downside is the rather short 6 mins of battery life from the fully charged battery, although I haven't found it a problem in the house so far. The whole cleaner slots into the charging unit when you've finished with it, so keeping the battery fully charged is 'hassle free'. The battery is a 21v Li-Ion unit too, so constantly topping it up shouldn't hurt it.
