Is it just me or when it comes to blokes sorting out vacuum cleaners and so on for home, we go for the full on Dyson products as they are basically macho boys toys, well at least compared to the rest.

Just got a Dyson hand held vacuum, the DC16, reconditioned B Grade via Dyson's own eBay web site. It was about £64 compared to £100 RRP or £88 from Amazon.

Feels like holding a flipping machine gun or some crazy sci-fi power tool.

It is so powerful that a full charge takes 3 hours and only lasts 6 minutes of use. This is something that guy from Home Improvement would use and soup up.
