    Super suction! Easy to put together. Love that carpet beaters don't collect hair! Easy to dump debris out of canister.

    Dyson, makes the best vaccum's on the market. This is my 3rd one. They had become quite expensive and they had some flaws so I purchased a different brand but it was not comparable to Dyson. So when it started loosing suction I found the Dyson on sale at Best Buy and I am happy to say the flaws that I experienced have been fixed and the suction is unbelievable.

    So far, so good! This vacuum has great suction! I would say, almost too good, it is difficult to vacuum the rugs even when raising the main part. But otherwise we really like it.

    Great suction, not ergonomic, terrible design

    Excellent suction, poor design. The plastic features of this vacuum feel cheap. Dyson put so much into the suction part of the vacuum but seems like little thought into the practicality and design of the other functions. Taking the hose out to clean under sofas is difficult, counterintuitive and the rigid tube makes it impractical for using the hose. The hose should be bendable. For the price of this vacuum it should have a self-retractable cord and better accessories. It should be easier to carry and transport it. When I try to raise it to ride it on the back wheels the vacuum unhinges at the bottom. It is diifuclt to maneuver because it is unstable. Taking it from upright to vacuum position should be softer. The vacuum is just not ergonomic. What you are paying for with a Dyson vacuum is for the suction and that is it. Everything else is very impractical and sadly the plastic parts feel cheap. Basically it is great for vacuuming floors but terrible for using under small, tight places or on stairs, or with the accessories.

    This is a pretty great vacuum overall. The suction is far stronger than my first gen one. I only have two attachments, so I cant really speak on all the cool gadgets you can get for this thing. The one complaint I do have is when vacuuming if you bump the head against the basebord or a peice of sturdy furniture it makes a loud squeaking sound. Other than this binding squeaky sound it is a very nice unit.

    Works great but feels cheap

    This vacuum works amazing but I have a few gripes with it. The plastic feels much thinner on all the pieces including the waste bin. Attachments are kinda junky and don’t get me started on the hose. We replaced a 15 yo Dyson and the quality has went way down on these things. Like I said, works great but very cheap feeling. Only had it a month so we’ll see. I guess this is what you get for a $300 Dyson vacuum nowadays. Build quality⭐️⭐️

    This vacuum is very powerful and grabs everything along baseboards. I love the extra long cord. You will get a good core workout when vacuuming carpet though!

    Its hard to push on carpets even though its set to high carpet setting. Beside that, it sucks up pretty good.

    This is my 2nd Dyson- 1st lasted 10years, it didn’t lose suction but after 10 years it didn’t have the same umpf it had in its younger years (of course). I’ll take 10 years out of a vacuum anyway, especially one day keeps up with a dog, toddlers and hardwood floors and white carpets! I love my Dyson and I’d never even think of getting another brand!

    This model is not a big as my original Dyson Animal, however the suction power is great and it is easier to manage since it is a bit smaller and lighter. I do have to empty the container more often however. I also appreciate that the spinning brush bristles are further apart. I have very long hair and had to cut my hair out of the brush almost every time I vacuumed with my Animal and with this one, I have used 3 times and not had to do that yet, which is nice! I love it!

    I have been using Dyson vacuums for more then 10 years so when it was time to upgrade, there was no hesitation. Easy to put together, new hair de-tangle head brush, and all my old hose attachments continue to be supported. The only thing I wish this had is a feature from the wireless Dyson vacuum and that is the dust bin to have a built in dirt remover, that would be 5 stars.
