Dyson Humdinger Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Dyson design features and build quality great, as usual. A bit disappointed in the suction, which is not as strong as what I've enjoyed with other Dyson vacs.Update 22-Mar-2025: Accidentally discovered the Max button (silver one next to the red on/off button). Happy with teh suction now.

I love this hand held vacuum - yes, it is a little pricey but you get MORE than what you pay for. The accompanying attachments fit perfectly and the absence of a chord adds to the ultimate versatility. From floors to shelves, to car seats and car mats, I use this thing just about everywhere in and out of my home. The other great thing about it is the ease of emptying and cleaning. Pop a button and all the dirt falls right out. Pop another button and you can easily wash the dirt container in the sink, dry it off, and reinstall. Super intuitive so you really do not need to dig into some owners manual to figure out what to do.

I like Dyson products and have many. However, this Humdinger is shocking for how weak the suction power is for something that costs so much. I liken it to a Black & Decker $39 handheld which are decent suction for the price, but you wouldn't pay $260 for it. I picked up my old Dyson V7 Car and Boat vacuum and compared them: the V7 was at LEAST double the suction power. Which is what I've come to expect from a handheld. Then when you look at them together you realize that the motor/venturi component of the V7 is at least twice as big as the Humdinger, which makes sense now. But they market it as the most powerful lightweight handheld, but it's only half right, it's lightweight for sure. I wish the suction was up to the typical Dyson standards, then it would be flying off the shelves.It was initially VERY frustrating that I could not find a wall mount for the Humdinger. Not sure why they decided not to offer one...big mistake. But that issue is moot now that I returned the Humdinger and bought a new V8 direct from Dyson for about $70 more than the Humdinger and I even get floor attachments.On a side note: I finally figured out that if you pay Dyson's rip off prices for a replacement battery (at Dyson.com), it will last a long time, just like the original battery. If you go for the cheaper replacements found on Amazon which I did several times, they'll last on average about two or three months and start shutting off every ten seconds on a full charge.

I amAstonished how powerful the suction is one swipe and dirt gone. Light and quick on my stair treads. Perfect for all ur jobs. Especially if you have animal hair to pick up . Plus the charge lasts 30 minutes can’t ask for anything more. And it is not hard to clean and no odor. Clean fast and perfect

We're big fans of Dyson vacuums, but the Humdinger fell short. There are a number of issues that shouldn't exist in a vacuum from a big brand, and at this price point.--Ergonomics: the buttons on top are so un-intuitive compared to the pistol grip and trigger in other vacuums--Dust bin cleaning: to empty the bin, you need to remove the nozzle. It also fails to empty completely, and you often need to remove the shroud to get all of the gunk.--Power: never thought I'd say this about a Dyson, but the suction is not the best. It does an okay job, but only on the "high" setting. Forget about using the "low" setting.

I really love how easily this light-weight Dyson Humdinger vacuums up particles, dust and more. Its powerful suction makes it so easy to quickly and thoroughly vacuum a small space. Its multiple attachments make vacuuming tasks quick and simple, and emptying the bin is a simple one-step. Its only drawback is the price.

I had been looking for this vacuum for a bit and finally was able to get one. First of all let me say that overall this vacuum works great for what I need it for. I wanted something to suck up all the hair after a haircut off the floor instead of getting the giant Dyson out and having to deal with cords and attachments, this thing just cuts to the business and gets the job done quick. The other great thing is emptying out contents is so simple, you simply push down on the lever and it opens up and drops out (you can even go further by removing the entire tube and clean it fully with compressed air or cloth). This vacuum is not cheap by any means but if you can look past that remember that you get the Dyson quality with this purchase. The last thing I want to mention as a CON is Dyson shows a wall mount for this unit, however Dyson themselves got back to me telling me that it's not available and no idea as to when it would be available.

Easily the best $300 I’ve spent this year. It’s light, powerful and really easily to use and empty. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks so I can’t comment on the longevity, but so far I absolutely love it.
