    The best vacuum I’ve ever owned. The light really helps to see the dust and debris on your floors and the suction is the best I’ve seen on a cordless vacuum. My only gripe is the price. A great device to have if it’s in your budget.

    I was pleasantly surprised of how well this Dyson model works. It cleans both carpet and hard surfaces very well. It's a bit loud but apart from that minor detraction it's just amazing. A+

    The vacuum is flawless. The illuminating green light captures every bit of dog hair and dust imaginable on wood floors. Not to mention the powerful suction it has on carpet to get the nitty gritty all cleaned up.

    After having a Kirby for almost 18 years the Dyson has been a welcome change. Light weight easy to move around and great attachments. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the suction in the short attachments and the battery life

    Replaced my old cordless with the new Dyson Gen5detect. Don't think I could ever go back to vacuuming without the little green light. I had no idea what I was missing. Thank you Dyson!

    Loving this Dyson. I actually look forward to whip it out and clean up a little mess. Would definitely recommend. It’s not heavy, it fits in hard to reach spaces, cleans the area really well. Worth every penny.

    Defective - No Not Buy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I loved this vacuum when I first used it. Unfortunately, as others have noted, the wheel on the carpet attachment came off after only 2 months. Best Buy refuses to replace the vacuum and Dyson's warranty is garbage because they are out of stock on these replacement heads (because they keep breaking) with no ETA. My $1000 vacuum is useless now.
