    Love the cleaning power, but the removable hose with attachments is very rigid and hard to use.

    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

    Great suction but feels heavy due to weight distribution. Hose can be a pain to use causing the vacuum to fall over while using it.

      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

    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.

    I was surprised that I was disappointed with this purchase. It was not easy to get out of the box. Putting the parts together was also difficult. It does not reach under beds to vacuum or the couch.
