Overview
Beautifully built with an ergonomic handle, the Dibea D18 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner easily removes dust and particles from furniture surfaces, beds, car carpets, and tile floors. It can be placed almost horizontally to the ground, allowing it to flexibly clean the difficult-to-reach area under most furniture.
Its multistage filtering system absorbs all debris with its high-precision cotton filter. The particles then go through the cyclone separation system that separates dust from the other particles. Lastly, the stainless-steel metal filter collects larger pieces of particles.
Other interesting features include the LED lights firmly placed on the main tube that provide a better view of the floor and particles while you are vacuuming. Additionally, the indicator power lights in bars easily show you the battery percentage so that you'll know when it needs to be charged.

Overview:
A powerful 3-in-1 cleaning tool, the Dyson Digital Slim™ is a stick vacuum that can be transformed into a handheld one, allowing you to complete various cleaning tasks with just one device. Its versatility makes it a good investment in the long run.
Weighing 1.9kg, it’s 30% lighter than the Dyson V11™. Its Slim Fluffy™ cleaner head can capture large debris with soft woven nylon, and sweep fine particles from hard floors thanks to the black anti-static carbon fire filaments. In addition, it comes with a crevice tool with LED lights, for easy cleaning of dark spaces.
Though lightweight, don’t underestimate its power. Equipped with a Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor, it spins at up to 120,000rpm to generate 100 Air Watts of powerful suction. Its 11 scrolled cyclones are designed to remove fine dust and dirt from the airflow. On top of that, the Dyson Digital Slim™ has a 5-layer filtration system that captures dust and allergens.
In terms of battery, this vacuum has up to 40 minutes of run time which puts it at the top of the spectrum as the average battery life of vacuums is between 15-40 minutes, though there may be outliers that can push a little longer than that. Further, the 3.5 hour charge time isn’t really a concern as you just have to leave it at the wall dock while it charges.
It has an LCD screen that allows you to receive filter maintenance reminders which takes the guesswork out of things and is helpful if you’re too busy to remember when it needs to be changed. It also displays the performance, settings, and blockage reports in real time.
Key features of the Dyson Digital Slim™ Fluffy Pro vacuum (Gold/Iron):
- Smooth bin emptying - The ejection mechanism with rotary catch enables no contact emptying of the bin
- Easy maintenance - The components can be easily washed and wiped to keep them clean
- Removable battery - The battery can be replaced with an additional click-in one(sold separately) to instantly double the run time
The difference between the Gold/Iron variant and the Purple/Iron colourway is that the former is a direct exclusive to the Dyson Demo store and www.dyson.my, and it includes an additional floor dock.

FAQs
- How To Choose A Handheld Vacuum?
Here are some considerations when choosing a handheld vacuum:
- Capacity
You’ll want to take note of the dust capacity of the vacuum. A larger one would mean it wouldn’t need to be emptied as often. This means you can go about vacuuming without having to stop to empty it.
You could even get a vacuum with an ejection mechanism so that no contact is necessary to empty the container.
- Battery life
If you live in a large house, the runtime should be particularly important to you as you would have a lot of ground to cover and wouldn’t want to have to stop in between to recharge your vacuum.
Most handheld vacuums have a runtime of up to 30 minutes before needing to be charged.
- Size
You’ll want a vacuum that’s comfortable to handle and lightweight so that it's easy to carry around the house. Plus, vacuuming will be easier, unrestricted by a cord as you won't need to have a power outlet nearby. This will allow you to vacuum hard-to-reach spots too.
- What can you use a hand vacuum for?
You can clean every area of your house with a hand vacuum as well as difficult-to-reach areas. It can be used to clean up carpets, cushions, and upholstery as well as pick up pet hair.
Besides, hand vacuums can also be utilised to clean your car. Overall, a hand vacuum makes it easier for you to remove allergens from hard-to-reach areas.
- Handheld vacuum vs. robot vacuum
While both vacuums serve the same purpose — to clean your home — there are significant differences between the two.
Robot vacuum cleaners work independently, while handheld vacuum cleaners need to be operated and controlled manually.
This means that while robot cleaners are easier to operate and need no effort by the user, handheld vacuum cleaners offer higher precision and more thorough cleaning as you are in control.
