    So much hype around these things and yes the suction is good. But what people should know is that outside the actual motor itself, this entire thing is plastic - and not even sturdy glass-fiber reinforced. Very flimsy parts so vacuum gently! Not a great value for $400

    This unit sucks but sucks to well

    This is the third Dyson I have owned and the first time I have ever been disappointed in a Dyson. I have an area carpet that is very short napped. When I set the manual height adjustment (problem one. Height adjustment use to be automatic) the suction is so great I literally can not push or pull the vacuum across the rug. If I set it for a high pile rug like a shag I can at least pull it across the carpet with a lot of effort. I should not have to fight this hard to use this unit and it has remained this tough so it's not like the unit had to be broken in or something. Problem 2 is because of the suction when I use the hose I have to fight to use it and it pulls the unit over. Basically the hose is not usable anymore. Problem 3 they have reduced the width of the brush head so now you have to make more passes and do more work to cover the same area. The only good thing is the pet hair removal design does work very well. I have 3 long haired dogs and so far no pet hair on the roller brush. I am past the return point so I am stuck with this unit. I'll probably use it only for my tile floors and be forced to buy a shark for the carpet areas.

    The Dyson Ball is very highly rated and a quality product. However, this model was too heavy for my wife to handle. We returned this model and now have a version of the Dyson Ball that is much lighter and easy for her to handle.
