    Decent. Was on sale so it was worth it. Ours broke and we needed something quickly. Seems to work fine.

    We bought this as a replacement for another Dyson Ball that finally wore out. Though it works just as well picking up the hair it doesn't have the power drive that the previous one had. Maybe we just went on the cheap, but the first was much easier to use.

    Without a doubt the best vacuum we have ever owned. The cleaning quality is unmatched. The only down side is transitioning between using the hose is not as easy as you would hope. So you'll have an easier time first going through the house with the vacuum and coming back through with the hose attachments.

    The vacuum is very heavy and hard to push on carpeting. I tried all 3 settings and all the same. Using the hose attachment was difficult too. The hose did not loosen when extending it without manually stretching it. Also concerned over time the hose would crack where it was attached to the attachment piece. When putting the vacuum back up in standing position the hose keeps running. Very disappointing after deciding to try a Dyson for the first time. Returned to the store.

    The suction is great and it’s well made, fairly lightweight but my carpet is new and thick and it’s really work to push it through my carpet. I wish the floor setting went a little higher
