The Dyson Digital Slim cordless vacuum is a standout choice for those who prioritize ease of use and lightweight handling, particularly in smaller homes or apartments. Its exceptional portability, strong suction performance, effective anti-hair-tangle technology, and advanced filtration system make it genuinely practical and enjoyable to use, even though it doesn’t match the battery life, dust-bin capacity, or overall power of Dyson’s flagship models. Its compact design and lower price compared to premium models deliver substantial value, making it an excellent option for anyone seeking a more manageable cordless vacuum without sacrificing key Dyson features.

Performance and Suction Power

Equipped with a Dyson Hyperdymium motor that spins up to 120,000 rpm, the vacuum delivers up to 100 air watts (AW) of suction power in its powerful mode. Users can expect up to 40 minutes runtime when operating in eco mode.

Filtration System

The vacuum employs advanced whole-machine filtration that traps 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively capturing dust and pet dander. This system ensures that the air expelled is cleaner, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
