    I'm amazed at how great this vacuum works! I have two long haired cats that shed consistently, and now I don't have to worry about their hair anymore. I highly recommend this product.

    My only complain is that the handle part of the product could be better. After holding it for some time my thumb is sore. It works great and looks pretty cool. I have two dogs that shed quite a bit and it picks up their hair even on the low suction setting. I would recommend this product.

    We bought this unit because we needed to replace our older Dyson handheld. This unit seems more powerful, holds more and lasts longer. The wife and I love it. BestBuy was actually selling it cheaper than Costco, so it worked out great for us!

    Good vacuum cleaner

    This is a great little vacuum cleaner. It picks up well though sometimes the heavier things like cat little pieces don’t want to vacuum up. It is better to empty once it’s getting full. It is difficult to open to empty. My moms is older and it has a different/easier way of emptying it.

    This is my second Dyson stick vac and it is so much better than the one I purchased about 5 years ago. Nothing at all to complain about on this item. Has good suction, good battery life....its all good!

    This vacuum has great suction and battery life. I ended up exchanging it for the Absolute only because I really wanted the fluffy head for the hardwood floors. Perhaps this would have been ok on it, but the bristles seem very stiff, so I didn't want to risk it on new floors! Overall, a great vacuum if you don't need the fluffy head for hardwood!

    Great working vacuum cleaner. Filled need at church fellowship hall for quick cleaning as needed. Everyone was impressed & happy not to have to have a cord involved.

    Collects large dirt and small dust with ease. No need to buy disposable filters as you can simply wash the one in it and let it dry out. Enough power on low setting to clean the whole house.

    Love the ease of using this vacuum and how lightweight it is, but disappointed that the battery doesn't stay charged long enough, only about 20 minutes, and it takes too long to charge back up.

    I bought this vacuum on Black Friday. Best Buy had the lowest price for this Dyson model. Better than I expected. Great cordless vacuum cleaner. Lightweight and recharges quickly. Glad to get rid of my corded vacuum cleaner.

    This was an unbelievable waste of money. I can't believe spending over $500 on a vacuum leads to under 2 cumulative hours of use before the battery is totally shot. Literally under 2 total hours of runtime and I'm back to the old dustpan and broom option. Please buy something different and don't fall for this nonsense product.

    It was more than I was expecting. I really didn’t think they would be that much of a difference from the last model to this one I couldn’t be more happier.

    Cannot empty it!

    Cannot get the canister to open in order to empty it. I have already called the Dyson help line once, and they thought I had it too full at the time. However, it will not open for me AT ALL, and I know for sure it is NOT too full. I will try the help line one more time. I am VERY disappointed in this product so far.

    Such a great little vacuum. It really is so easy to use and makes cleaning a breeze because you don't have to worry about a cord. Use it for a 1,000 SF apartment and it never runs out of charge, even when doing a deep clean. Definitely recommend.

    This thing is a beast! This thing sucks dust, dirt and pet hair from deep down in the carpets…! FYI It’s important to fully charge the battery overnight before the first use!

    Works as described. My one concern was that I wouldn’t like having to hold the on switch to keep it running, but turns out it isn’t a problem. My house is so much cleaner!
