The Upgrade

Labrador lying on it. And

anyway, on regular mode it

can run for up to 40 minutes.

As usual, the funky plastic

construction means dog hairs will

still leap up and stick to the outside

of the brush head thanks to the

magic of static (we haven’t tested

this on non-woollen rugs though),

but the sheer power is worth it.

DYSON’S HANDHELD VACS

left the competition literally in the
