    I love this dyson more than any of their other vacuums… I struggle with carpal tunnel and other vacuums press and hold feature would cramp up my hands! I love that there is a push to start feature and my hand doesn’t have to hold the start trigger the whole time I’m vacuuming. Beautiful blue color makes it unique too! Love this vacuum! Worth the investment

    This blows the other models out of the water. True innovation and a perfect cleaning machine. If you have hardwood floors, you’ll be amazed at the lighting system

    It’s a great vacuum at first and the light really helps you see all the dirt so you don’t miss a spot, but the suction power is not worth the price tag. It’s basically a thousand dollar broom and dustpan.

    We love the vacuum. Disappointed that the sales associate at best buy told us it came with 2 batteries and it only came with one. Felt like he was just tryint to make the sale. So now we have to spene more for another battery. So keep that in mine when purchasing. Battery has a run time or 30 mins on auto.

    I was very disappointed in this Dyson product,after my first Dyson lasted so long. We've had nothing but problems with this vacuum cleaner ever since we bought it. We've called Dyson support multiple times. It kept giving us error messages, even though we were maintaining it and doing everything they said to keep it running. Giving up on it this year, getting a new vacuum (not a Dyson)
