The Dyson Digital Slim is engineered for homes where storage space and weight are primary considerations, weighing in at approximately 1.9kg. It utilizes a Hyperdymium motor that provides an impressive power-to-weight ratio. The LCD screen offers real-time reporting on battery life and maintenance needs, helping you manage your cleaning sessions effectively. The "Slim Fluffy" head is particularly effective for navigating tight corners on hardwood floors.
To achieve its lightweight profile, the unit uses thinner polycarbonate for the bin and glass-reinforced polypropylene for the connectors. This makes it very agile, but it should be stored in a secure location to avoid accidental impacts. The trigger-based power system is designed for quick on-and-off use to conserve battery, though users should handle the trigger with a moderate touch to ensure long-term durability.
The dust bin capacity is 0.3 liters, which means it will need to be emptied more frequently than larger models. The HEPA filtration is high-grade, though the seal should be checked periodically to ensure no dust bypasses the filter. The wand is made of thin-walled aluminum, which is strong but can be prone to cosmetic denting if struck against hard surfaces.
If you prefer a vacuum that stays on without having to hold a trigger, the Tikom V500 offers a different interface style.
