Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Vacuum

Verdict

The Dyson Digital Slim is the go-to cordless for anyone who prioritizes ultra-lightweight handling and comfortable handheld use, especially for above-floor work. Its compromises are short runtime, a very small bin, and a somewhat high price, so it suits smaller homes or those willing to pay extra for the lightest possible feel.

Pros

  • Weight 5 reviews 5.0
    The Digital Slim remains one of the lightest cordless vacuums available, with a roughly 2.6 pound handle that makes both floor and above floor tasks feel almost effortless compared with heavier sticks.
  • Filtration / Dust Containment 2 reviews 5.0
    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.
  • Hair-Wrap / Tangle Resistance 2 reviews 5.0
    The Motorbar head’s built-in combs do an excellent job preventing hair from wrapping, clearing both short and long strands with minimal maintenance required.
  • Suitability for small spaces 1 review 5.0
    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.
  • Maneuverability & Handling 5 reviews 4.5
    Very light and compact in the hand, it steers easily around furniture and works comfortably in handheld mode, making it especially good for stairs, upholstery, and detailed cleaning.
  • Accessories & Tools 2 reviews 4.5
    The Digital Slim comes with a Motorbar multi-surface head plus basic dusting and crevice tools that feel sturdy, and it accepts standard Dyson attachments for easy expansion.
  • Pet-Ready Features 2 reviews 4.5
    With an anti-tangle screw tool and a tangle-resistant Motorbar head that lift pet hair without wrapping, the Digital Slim is well suited for homes with shedding dogs or cats.
  • 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.
  • Build quality & durability 1 review 4.5
    The Digital Slim feels solidly built with typical Dyson fit and finish, inspiring confidence that it will hold up with regular use.
  • Convertible handheld design 1 review 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.
  • Emptying & Mess Control 1 review 4.5
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 1 review 4.5
  • Controls & UI 4 reviews 4.4
    An LCD display shows remaining run time, chosen power mode and basic maintenance alerts, letting you monitor the vacuum’s status without an app.
  • Suction & Airflow 4 reviews 4.0
    The compact Digital Slim motor and Motorbar head provide strong, fade free suction for everyday messes, though with around 100 air watts it sits a step below the V10, V11 and V15 on raw power and is best used as a light duty main or secondary vacuum.
  • Support & Reliability 1 review 4.0
    Backed by Dyson’s wide parts availability and customer service network, owners can easily find replacement components and support if something goes wrong.
  • Overall opinion 3 reviews 3.8
    Reviewers see the Digital Slim as an ultra light, easy handling Dyson that excels at quick jobs and small spaces, but limited runtime and a small bin mean it is better suited as a lighter duty primary or as a secondary vacuum than as a do everything flagship replacement.
  • Price & Value 4 reviews 3.5
    Positioned around the Dyson V8’s price, the Digital Slim can feel a bit pricey for what you get, but is still a compelling value if you specifically prioritize ultra low weight and easy handling over long runtime or a large bin.

Cons

  • Battery & Charging 5 reviews 3.1
    Its removable battery offers roughly twenty minutes of runtime on the commonly used medium setting and more at lower power, but overall battery capacity is modest, so many owners consider adding a spare pack.
  • 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.
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) 3 reviews 2.7
    In lighter modes the Digital Slim can run for tens of minutes for quick daily cleans, but on higher settings some reviewers see only a handful of minutes before the battery drains, so long boosts are not realistic for large homes.
  • Bin & Bag 4 reviews 2.6
    A compact 0.3 liter dust bin keeps the Digital Slim very light and agile but fills quickly on whole home jobs, requiring more frequent emptying than larger canisters on Dyson’s bigger sticks.
