Easy to use & change parts for many uses. Fairly lightweight to carry & pull when used. A few suggestions-would like on/off switch on handle instead of canister & must take care when using adapters since plastic seems thinly molded. The main brush adapter works well with just suction as created by design. Simple design to empty canister however bottom plastic clip could easily be broken when reconnecting if not careful.

Although this vacuum rolls round easily and lets you get into tough to reach places, it clogs easily (comes apart easily for cleaning too though) and sounds terrible on hard surface floors as there is no padding on sweeper. Difficult to run over carpets with easily. Comes with great attachments. My arms hurts by the end. Nothing like my old electrolux canister with which I miss so much. It was much simpler throwing away a bag when full.

My review really is 4.5 stars however that is not an option per se. Fantastic design & construction. However, it is entirely made of plastic-quite a good grade. Many versatile attachments for stairs, small crevices & tight spaces. Only 2 notable possible detractions.The on/off button is on the canister -not on the handle which would be more practical-IMO. The main rotating brush head is not electrically powered (totally powered by suction it creates to rotate it) & the brush is not that wide -so you have to make more passses to clean the floor. With that being said it still pulls enough dirt/debris from the capets including the dog (animal) hair that my small dog sheds.

As a dog owner, I have gone through many vacuum cleaners over the years but this has proven to be effective and resilient. In addition, the vacuum is easy to use and comes with an excellent company warranty through Dyson

So far, I love this vacuum. It is easily the most I've spent on such an item, so the bar is high. The couple of attachments I've used have been easy to navigate, and unlike my last couple of vacuums, they are securely affixed to the vacuum and they don't fall off. Stairs are incredibly easy to clean now - for which I am grateful. Carpet seems like it takes a couple of passes, but maybe that's just me. Regardless, I am happy to do it to ensure it's clean. And when I do, I am always shocked at how much dirt, hair, etc. is in the canister. The brush works on the hardwoods and tile, but there is an attachment that works better...and again, it's right there, ready to use. No joke, the adjustable wand is fantastic for convincing my daughters to use the vacuum in their rooms. Easy up, easy down. Perhaps my favorite part: the cord winds into the machine for easy storage. Proof that God loves us.
