Verdict

The Dyson Digital Slim is an ultra-light stick that feels great in the hand but sacrifices power and especially runtime and bin size compared with other Dysons. It works best as a light-duty or small-space vacuum, and most shoppers will be happier stepping up to the V12.

Pros

Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 5.0

The Digital Slim remains one of the lightest cordless vacuums available, and reviewers say its featherweight handle makes both floor and above-floor tasks feel almost effortless compared with heavier sticks.

Its compact frame, small bin and modest runtime make the Digital Slim particularly well suited to apartments and smaller homes where quick daily cleaning is the norm.
Filtration / Dust Containment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8

A fully sealed system with a HEPA filter captures fine dust effectively and passes fog-style leak tests, making the Digital Slim a strong option for allergy-sensitive homes.

Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
Convertible handheld design ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5

As both a stick and handheld, the Digital Slim quickly switches between floor cleaning and above-floor tasks like stairs, upholstery and car interiors using the same main body.
Versatility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5

Between its motorbar floorhead, lighted crevice tool, anti-tangle screw head and reach-under attachment, the Digital Slim adapts well to carpets, hard floors, furniture and tight spaces.

Controls & UI ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
Support & Reliability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9
Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8

Reviewers see the Digital Slim as an ultra-light, easy-handling Dyson that excels at quick jobs, stairs and small spaces, but its limited runtime and tiny bin mean it works better as a lighter-duty primary or as a secondary vacuum than as a do-everything flagship.

Cons

Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.4
Battery & Charging ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.0
Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0

Crevice and unsealed suction test results tend to be average or slightly below average, which is acceptable but not a standout compared with similarly priced vacuums.
Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 2.6
Runtime (Measured, Default) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 2.5

Earlier testing described modest runtimes even in lighter modes, and this comparison underscores that its small battery yields noticeably shorter cleaning sessions than full-size Dysons, especially if you lean on higher power.
Runtime (Measured, Boost/Turbo) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 1.5

On Boost the Digital Slim drains rapidly, with reviewers citing only a few minutes of maximum power, so turbo mode is best reserved for quick, targeted cleanups rather than extended deep cleaning.
