I have a previous version of this mini Dyson, and although it's fine in general terms there are distinct disadvantages when using in a car. You need to buy the additional really stiff brush otherwise the soft brush supplied merely tickles the dust and has no chance of lifting animal hairs or other bits stuck in carpets.

The supplied long "thin" sucker up of dust is useless as it's width prevents it going down between the car seats and central console and between the seat and door panels. You need to move the dust and stuck on bits with a thin manual brush with very stiff bristles (Asda £2 in the household section) first then suck up with Dyson.

The body of the Dyson gets in the way of seats, fascia, central consoles and underseat areas, but is ok in a big open area like seat tops, rear seats and boot areas.

I found that the old Dyson Animal (DC05) that is wheeled around, and supplied with a flexible hose is far better, admittedly it requires mains power, but you can grab the stiffer rounder brush and apply with maximum GBH to carpets, and other difficult to reach areas without the body getting in the way.

The Trigger Dyson is useful for a quick tidy up more than a serious clean, in my opinion, certainly worth having than not but bear in mind it's limitations.

Re the comments made on 5th November, I couldn't have put it better myself regarding the limitations of the V6.
