    This vacuum works like a charm. Great for hard wood floors and especially carpet. Best purchase yet!

    I purchased this vacuum when I received a promotion at work, and felt like I deserved it because I have two huskies. I would give it four stars, except that there are some annoyances that make it difficult to use. The extensions are stiff and inflexible. This makes it difficult even when standing the vacuum upright to get behind small spaces in corners. In general, it also feels kind of like a cheaply made vacuum. However, I've had it about six months and so far it hasn't busted yet.

    This Dyson is just as good as the others we’ve worn out. Only bad thing is the instructions are lacking. Leaves a lot to guess work and trial and error. Love the vacuum, not impressed with the instructions.

    For a 4 cat household, this vacuum pulls its weight. Even the base model has enough options for everyday cleaning. Definitely worth it if you value your time and cleanliness.

    This vacuum has the most powerful suction of any I've ever purchased. It gets fine pet hair out of rugs & carpet and works great on hardwood floors. It requires some extra effort to maneuver but tones up your arms and picks up any & everything that isn't nailed down! The assembly instructions don't include illustrations which would help! I don't know where the bracket and attachments go??

    It picks up everything you need and all the dog hairs you have on the floor. The only thing I would recommend is making it easier to use the suction when your take it out from the vacuum it’s not very flexible

    Overhyped and Overpriced

    This being my first Dyson purchase I expected to love it. However, after assembly and minor testing I packaged it back up and returned it. From the moment I took it out of the box I couldn't believe how cheap it felt. The handle is thin plastic, the cord hooks feel cheap and the entire structure feels like it made of flimsy plastic. It doesn't have a foot release so getting it into position to vacuum is awkward at best. It's wobbly and doesn't like to stay in an upright position. The back "wheels" are thin pieces of plastic and don't feel right. Also, it's a hassle to try and move while upright because it doesn't stay upright. The suction is great, but that's about it. Not at all worth the price tage.

      Hi there, this is Tia from Dyson! We're sorry to hear of the trouble with your Dyson upright vacuum hose and can offer some tips on resolving the issue. Rest assured, the hose will become more flexible with time and use. Aside from attaching your accessories directly to your hose to stretch the elasticity of this part, we also recommend stretching the part of the hose that is nearest to the vacuum first when extending this part to clean your home.

      We would also recommend checking to ensure the wand is not obstructed and that the hose is not sucking into itself as the hose is not something we would expect to be an issue during use.

      If there is still a concern regarding your vacuum's hose, we are happy to offer further support by troubleshooting the issue. You are encouraged to reach out to our support team at askdysonus@dyson.com.

      We hope the tips above resolve your concerns. Thank you for choosing Dyson technology!

      Best wishes,
      Tia
