I was looking for some dyson alternative but without loosing the quality. This seems to be #1 selling handheld vacuum in Amazon UK at %50++ rrp. Reviews is reasonably positive. Details:
21.6V Lithium-ion battery. Cordless freedom with fade free power throughout the run time.
Powerful airflow and motorised beater bar provides one pass pick up performance, even with heavier debris.
12 Air-Cylone separates debris from clean air without traditional filters, prevents clogging and provides no loss in suction.
Can be used as a floor and hand vacuum to clean any surface in your home.
Fully charge the battery in under 4 hours with the wall mounted charger.
$148 shipped to NSW using Amazon rates.

battery life ?
earlier in the video the chap reckons 17 minutes. 4hours to charge
@ravzter: Yeah you'd never do a whole house with this. 17 mins is never going to be a vacuuming lovers vacuum. I seem to recall the Dyson V6 only lasts a similar time?
It looks pretty good and I'm sure it'll do a similar job to the Dyson V6. I own a V6 and it does the job but nothing to rave home about. I purchased 2X additional batteries to do the entire house on HIGH power (The low setting is pretty much useless apart from picking up incidental stuff). Also emptying the canister on the V6 is hopeless. Makes a mess and you can never get everything out. A lot of crap gets wedged in the top seal so you really have to remove the whole thing and give it a good clean if it bothers you. Also unlike earlier handheld Dysons, they don't want you to have the option of quickly changing the battery so instead of a quick release they have added 2X screws. I've removed the screws and made my own quick release in the form of a small pin to hold the battery in.
The V8 however seems to have finally solved the emptying issue and the additional power/battery time is also good. Of course a marketing exercise to sell new products every couple of years. Also despite the advertising they DON't want you to use the V6/V8 as your only vacuum, merely a sideshow to your other main vacuum lol.
Anyway too much rambling… the B&D looks good. I'd buy one if you can get batteries on ebay (and didn't already own a V6)
Given all the self praise Dyson gives about their designs. I find emptying my Dyson handheld the most singularly painful and illogical exercise a person ever must endure.
Cordless Hand Vac…. I don't recommend.
How would the warrenty work as its purchased from the UK.
Warranty would work when you ship it back to the UK for warranty. That would most probably cost you as much as what you paid for it if through Australia Post international.
