Dyson Root 6
The flamethrower-style Root 6 looks like it came straight from a Ghostbusters prop closet, complete with a trigger for a switch and enough power to melt the Marshmallow Man. The transparent canister makes it obvious when it needs emptying, which can be done with one hand and no mess. But as a whole, the unit felt unwieldy and difficult to maneuver. Plus, turn it the wrong way and the air vent may blow an unpleasant gust right in your face.
WIRED: Wall-mountable. Nifty, versatile combo brush.
TIRED: Vacuuming requires depressing the trigger continuously â a drag. Battery drains quickly (it lasted about two-thirds as long as the other models in our test). No attachment storage built in.
