I love the fact that the root 6 is only 3.3lbs! A great size for vacuuming the car, or those hit and miss areas. It would be great to meet Sir Dyson, I love his products!

Definitely has to be the weight for me...A little over 3 pounds, WOW! I could get some big messes cleaned up in a snap....Even when I have the little man attached to my waist! Thanks for the awesome chance to win one!

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/04/2008 11:53 AM  

Wish I was in NYC to meet Dyson, he seems like an interesting man.

I love that the Root 6 is so portable and maneuverable, it would be fantastic for the very long, steep stairs we have. I also love the Issey Miyake version. But honestly, the Animal version would be perfect for us, since we have six cats and it seems like I am forever cleaning up cat fur.

By Blogger Superdumb Supervillain, at 4/04/2008 1:32 PM  

as a mother of two and a wife of a guy who misses every detail, this vacuum is perfect for car cleaning and quick pickups. im a big fan all Dyson vacuum cleaners. a friend of mine owned one and I would end up borrowing it almost every other day. It was so easy to clean out that I wouldnt mine "co-owning" one.

By Blogger Hold the Gluten Please, at 4/04/2008 2:04 PM  

I love my Dyson Animal Vacuum...but it is hard to clean the stairs with it. The Root 6 would be perfect for the stairs, and as a great replacement for the "other" cordless vacuum I keep on hand for the small messes.

By Blogger Anjie, at 4/04/2008 2:35 PM  

I am so lucky already that you are having a Dyson contest again! I love the root 6 style.

If I met Sir Dyson, I would ask him why the upright vacuums don't have automatic cord rewind. Otherwise, they are fabulous, but I can't make it to New York. So someone please ask him about automatic cord rewind

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/04/2008 3:32 PM  

Lightweight for picking the eternal little messes around my house!

Yes, I live in NYC.

ooh, I'd love to own a Dyson vacuum! This would be great for picking up all the fibers left over from softie-making without having to bust out my big clunky vacuum! You can sign me up!

Oh I love my Dyson. I have the original upright vacuum. The very first one! I would love this for various incidents involving my four year old. I love the easy empty feature. It's so awesome not to have to touch the filth.

By Blogger Cassie, at 4/04/2008 4:28 PM  

Cool giveaway! I love that it recharges so fast, and that it's easy to empty out. My current handheld vac (a cheapy from Sears) fails on both of those counts. And really, this one looks so cool - like a Star Wars ray gun. That's just an extra bonus feature!
Thanks!

I love that I can use it in small areas, especially my car! I love that it recharges fast and that it is Hygienic !

Greetings! First of all what I like about the Dyson brand is its' reputation! This particular model is very nice because of its' smaller size and lesser weight! This makes it easy to handle. I like that it has a wall mounted battery charger and I can hang it in my laundry room for easy access. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

No more dusty bags!

By Blogger Daddy, at 4/04/2008 7:06 PM  

I've been lusting over the Dyson since it came out. it is one of the most modern design-savvy piece of cleaning equipment ever made! I know that James Dyson cares more about the cleaning ability than the design, but it really is a beautiful piece of equipment. Plus I have a couple of cats, so this is the ONLY way to go!

By Blogger Danielle, at 4/04/2008 7:25 PM  

I want a Dyson. My favorite feature is that it's Hygienic and quick to empty. My current vacum has a filter and it takes a lot of time to clean the filter for reuse.

By Blogger Uniquely Yours, at 4/04/2008 8:30 PM  

I think that my favorite feature would be the SIZE - perfect for all those little things - even stairs I would think would be easier with this than my big old thing!!

By Blogger Ames, at 4/04/2008 9:34 PM  

My favorite feature? Aside from the snazzy shade of orange, I'd have to say the light weight and easy portability.

Love the compact size (easy for a mom who's carrying a baby to use) and that it's hygenic and quick to empty. With the need for quick pick-ups everyday in my family, my fingers are double-crossed!
Stephanie V.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/05/2008 9:51 AM  

There are two things I really like about it. First, it is supposed to sweep well on all floor surfaces. Many times a broom doesn't get everything so being able to sweep the kitchen floor with this sweeper would mean I would probably get more dirt picked up. But what I like best is that it is great for those with allergies.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/05/2008 10:37 AM  

I love that it's lightweight, easy to empty. But the best feature is that it doesn't remit all of the dust and allergens back out through the exhaust-great for people with allergies, like my son & husband. I covet the large Dyson vacs, and this is great for our little place!

By Blogger Ursula, at 4/05/2008 12:55 PM  

I like that it is easy to empty. My vacuum kicks up so much when I use it, I have to have my kids go in another room and wear a mask. I am highly allergic to several things. This would be so nice to have, to be able to breathe while I vacuum!!

By Blogger holly K, at 4/05/2008 12:59 PM  

I love the info about been asthma friendly! I suffer with this since I was 6!! And here all vacuum cleaners are so big and heavy! I really need one of this...I can´t go to NY to meet him because I live so, so far, in Brazil! kisses!

By Blogger Angela, at 4/05/2008 1:44 PM  

The canister instead of the bag so that it is easy to empty, and the filter because my whole family has allergies and how it is lightweight so that it is easy to carry around! Thanks!

By Blogger Jessie R., at 4/05/2008 5:33 PM  

I love the fact that you don't have to buy bags for it. And I badly need a handheld vacuum for when I don't want to pull out my floor model (a Dyson, by the way).

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/05/2008 7:10 PM  

I love the hygenic and quick to empty. The lightweight handvac that I have now is so icky to clean. :( And a handvac is sooo necessary in our house with one toddler and one preschooler. :)

By Blogger kevnjacks, at 4/05/2008 7:30 PM  

This vacuum looks so snazzy! I love that it is easy to use because it is small lightweight! I also like the removable canister-no more icky bags! I like idea of a battery charger, too. Hope I win!

By Blogger you big baby!, at 4/05/2008 8:03 PM  

I love the portability due to its size and the fact that it is a bagless vacuum.

By Blogger Leticia- Tech Savvy Mama, at 4/05/2008 8:23 PM  

I keep hearing about Dyson vacuums, but I've yet to try one out. I love the lightweigh-ness of this one, and the color is great, too! :-)

By Blogger Ruth, at 4/05/2008 9:03 PM  

First off, I love that it's a Dyson, because I've heard nothing but awesome things from people who have them. I think it's great that it charges quicker than other models - I've had trouble with that on other hand vacuums I've had before. And also, the weight (or lack of) is an incredible feature that makes this truly a first choice for quick pick-ups. :)

By Blogger nvedf, at 4/05/2008 11:28 PM  

The two things I like the best about the Root 6 is that it are:

1) That it is a hand-held vacuum. I HATE dragging out a big machine.

2) The design reminds me of a blaster from Star Wars...I might even get my boys to do some vacuuming this way!

By Blogger LuAnn @ BackPorchervations, at 4/06/2008 1:39 AM  

Love the low weight, high ower, and fast recharging. Totally can kick my dustbuster to the curb.

By Blogger nausikaa, at 4/06/2008 5:10 AM  

When reading the advertisements and the design features about the Root 6 hand held vacuum, I can't help but get excited about 3 things. 1)I don't have to wash my hands or scrub my nails after empty the canister! 2)I don't have to wait a day for the Root 6 to recharge! 3)It is lighter then my exercise dumbbells! The Root 6 would make cleaning up after a toddler a dream!

By Blogger JENN, at 4/06/2008 6:01 AM  

it's lightweight, innovative, and has the best suction power of all handhelds.

By Blogger lonald, at 4/06/2008 6:06 AM  

What a Great giveaway!! I would have to say the size of it. Small and lightweight but it sounds like it packs a punch! Thanks so much! :)

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 6:37 AM  

What I would like most about the DC16 Root 6 Dyson is the fast charging time and the ability to have the motorized brushbar for pet hair pick-up. We have pets and it would be very useful. We also like the Dyson brand and have the full size pet Dyson vacuum and it does a great job. Very cool product. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

I love the fact that it is light weight. You can't ask for more then that. Of course, the technology of Dysons....it always sucks, is awesome! Especially in a house with pets, I need all the sucking that I can get.

By Blogger Nicol, at 4/06/2008 8:51 AM  

when you empty it, it's fast and clean. super important to me, cause if it's gross, i won't go near it.

Cathy @ cfoblog [at] gmail [dot] com

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 9:25 AM  

My absolute favorite feature is the fact that Dyson vacuums really clean like they say they do. My friend has one and I pine for it. One day! My favorite techincal feature for this one is the weight. At just 3.3 lbs it is easy to wield and works great for tight spaces. Oh please please please pick me!

By Blogger Cricket, at 4/06/2008 9:37 AM  

I would love to win one of those as it's such a lightweight! The whole design is perfect. Thanks for the great give away!

By Blogger Ann, at 4/06/2008 11:18 AM  

My husband would want this more than I do to clean out the car. The best part is it is light weight. Who likes hauling around a 20 pound vacuum cleaner? Oooo! Pick me!

By Blogger Rake, at 4/06/2008 12:17 PM  

One of my biggest cleaning challenges is lugging around our heavy old upright vacuum. Having the Root 6 would definitely help me keep things tidier around here and make it possible to keep the car clean too. As for meeting Sir Dyson? That would be beyond cool!

By Blogger lritscher, at 4/06/2008 12:27 PM  

What a wonderful giveaway. Thank you for offering this prize. I like that this Dyson Root 6 recharges quickly and can be used in small spaces. I have an old small hand vac that I currently use for quick clean ups after my kids, and it seems that I use it for only a few minutes and it needs to be recharged again. In addition, I find that the hand vac I have now doesn't fit well into small areas and this Root 6 sounds like it would do any job wonderfully. Thank you again for this great giveaway and please enter me.

By Blogger peg42, at 4/06/2008 12:37 PM  

I like that it's cordless, so I can quickly run around an do touchups or clean my car without having to wrangle a cord or an extension.

By Blogger toasters lie, at 4/06/2008 12:45 PM  

I love that it's lightweight, thus I can easily do my stairs!

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 12:45 PM  

The weight! Vacuums are SO heavy lately! Dyson surpasses all other in every area! Including price though. I would adore one of these!
Thank you!

By Blogger Gina, at 4/06/2008 12:48 PM  

I have really been wanting one of these vacuums. It has so much more power than my current "old fashioned" vacuum.

By Blogger Fangirl Jen, at 4/06/2008 12:48 PM

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 12:49 PM

By Blogger judyv12306, at 4/06/2008 12:59 PM  

the lightweight and fast recharge are the most important to me

By Blogger Erica C., at 4/06/2008 1:05 PM  

I love that the Root 6 is so portable and maneuverable, it would be fantastic for the very long, steep stairs we have.

By Blogger CrazyDaizy, at 4/06/2008 1:07 PM  

I see this on Television. I like how lightweight it would be, very easy to carry around, it wouldn't hurt my back using it.
Plus it's from a great brand!

Thanks for the contest.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 1:09 PM  

The lightness of it plus the fact that it's bagless are big pluses.

I love his commercials, his voice is awesome! My favorite feature is that the root 6 is only 3.3lbs! A great size for vacuuming the car or all those quick clean ups from kids.

By Blogger Ginny, at 4/06/2008 3:09 PM  

Just having a heart attack makes the 3.3 lbs sound like a cinch to use,along with the no changing of bags.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/06/2008 3:24 PM  

I love that its lightweight and cordless without sacrificing power.

By Blogger psipsina, at 4/06/2008 3:32 PM  

With two small kids, a dog, and a Marine for a husband, the fact that it is up to 3 times faster to recharge is a godsend. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten one mess cleaned up, only to turn around to find /another/ one to do, as well.

By Blogger USMCWife, at 4/06/2008 3:37 PM  

Oh man, this is awesome!! We have a Dyson and it's the best thing ever. No bags...love that!! But, this little sucker (LOL!) I have to have one of these...weighing at about 3lbs. and can work like a champ for 6 minutes...that's pretty good. It'll get all the nooks and crannies too...I think I'd probably be doing more with the root 6 than blogging...

As a Basset Hound rescue volunteer, I have a minimum of five Bassets at a time in my house. Despite their short coat Bassets are known to be "heavy shedders." I would use it to clean the hair out of my car, staircase and tight corners. Hey I may even vacuum a dog or too!

Sir James Dyson is a true blessing to all of us that are clean fanatics -- and any one of his products would be a dream come true to anyone that would be fortunate enough to have one and be able to use one. Bagless -- awesome -- the lighter the better for those of us with lower back fragility -- the efficiency of his products are amazing! Don't throw out the kids, the husband or the animals -- buy Dyson!

OH, I like this product for a lot of reasons. The light weight is extremely important to me because I have a physical problem and can't lift or manuveur anything heavy. But the cleaning is just as important and when I read that it had twice the suction of most handhelds, I was excited! It is a little thing, but I also like the battery indicator so I know when it is running low on power...it doesn't just cut off.

By Blogger Betty N, at 4/06/2008 5:56 PM  

I have lung disease but I still have to try occassionally to clean up and I desperately need a lightweight but powerful suction vacumn. I've used the full size Dyson and I know the technology and power is made into all the Dyson vacumns...I need this vacumn.

I own a big dyson, and the cyclone action is fantastic. I would love to win the root 6, not only does it only weigh 3.3 pounds, I know it would work wonderful to clean up any kind of thing you needed to clean up. When they say this company is the best, they are not kidding. Mr.Dyson is a genius. Everything about his products, is unique and are going to be the best there is to use. I am a very happy consumer. They take less effort, are great for cleaning up, no bags, very economical. Will last for years and years. Great technology behind their products. It's a win, win situation. I have had my dyson for 3 years now, and couldn't be more satisfied. Top notch company. The BEST! Thanks for the giveaway.

I think that the best thing about Dyson is that there is no extra cost. A regular vacuum would eventually need belts replaced, new bags, etc. These things add up over time and make it much more costly. Not to mention that it's very pleasing to look at and weighs less than a gallon of milk! Does it really get any better?!

How about EVERYTHING. Weight is a big issue because I live in a big house and have 4 dogs and 1 cat, all of whom shed. Then there's the whole "it's spring and everything is in bloom so allergens are EVERYWHERE" aspect of country living, so the allergies aspect also means alot. But I am also a mega toolhead, and the mechanics of it floor me; yet the creative side of me loves the design. (Genes will out. Dad's an engineer, Mom's an artist.

The features of the Root 6 that get me are there are no bags to fill, bags to throw away, bags to fill a landfill. I have always tried since being a child to consume less in a package friendly overly friendly world and it is truly tough. When Dyson came out with his vacuum and systems that allow moms to really care about cleaning their homes and cleaner the environment that means a lot. A system that truly works, truly cleans and I only throw out minimal amount of waste.
