Dyson’s latest invention packs a whole lot of power into a vacuum that can fit in the “palm of one hand.” Designed for city dwellers who don’t have the square feet or the closet space for big, clunky models, the City DC26 is the British design company’s “smallest-ever” vacuum. The ultra-lightweight vac weighs just over 7 pounds, “less than some laptops,” and, when folded up, it’s small enough to fit on a piece of 8.5-by-11-inch paper. Don’t mistake it for just another “handheld device,” though. “The company insists it is a full-fledged vacuum,” capable of full-size performance.
