    Love ours! So convenient for our carpet and wood laminate floors. Gets dusting done as well with its attachments. Easy to operate and easy to dispose of waste. Very powerful suction compared to any other vacuum i’ve used before. i have two small children and two medium/large size dogs so this investment is definitely well worth it.

    Strong vacuum power with good maneuverability with sufficient cord length. A bit heavy on thick carpets.

    Great product. Although it is a bit on the heavier side. The suction power is impressive. This model has a useful improvement over the previous one - there are three suction modes present. That is required when someone is vacuuming carpets vs. hardwood floors.

    In terms of cleaning probably one of the best suction vacuums I've ever used. It's a LOT heavier than a stick vacuum and that does make it a bit of a challenge to move around. Had some difficulty with under couch and around chair legs since it's a lot wider than other vacuums.

    Best vacuum ever. It is a little heavier than my Dyson stick, obviously, but it is much more powerful. I can fill up the canister nearly every use. My carpet literally feels softer.

    With 8 animals this can really keep up with all the hair and dirt they all seem to track in. Never clogs the hose or gets stuck in the wheels. Has good turning radius. The hose is not the easiest to use when needing to bend. Wish the locking mechanism for it standing upright was a bit easier.

    It has powerful suction but too obtuse to manipulate between spaces. Very heavy to push around the floor which isn’t ideal for the daily use. It gets tangled up too easily with the rug fringe or any decorative fabric and eventually gets stuck or over heated. I returned it with the bestbuy warranty to exchange for the cordless Dyson model,

    This vacuum is amazing. Some of the strongest and efficient sucking ive ever experienced. Took about 5-10 minutes to assemble from the box and I put it right to work. My previous vacuum had been broke for a few weeks so this dyson had it’s work cut out. It sucked up every drop up and left nothing behind! I nicknamed it Teanna T due to its impressive ability. I look forward to all my future cleaning sessions with it! Def recommend.

    Strong suction, but overall not impressed. It’s heavy and not the easiest to maneuver around furniture. What’s more frustrating is how difficult it is to find replacement parts. When the roll hose tore and a small clip broke, I spent weeks trying to find the roller, most weren’t available on Dyson’s site or from third-party sellers. For a vacuum at this price point, I expected better long-term support and easier maintenance. If anything breaks, good luck getting it fixed quickly.

    I had an original Dyson for almost 10 years. when it finally gave up the ghost, money was tight and we went with a Bissel pet vac. I never really cared for it and wasn't impressed with it's prformance. The hose and things were breaking and I said forget it. Saw this Dyson was 100 dollars of and I got 12 mos no interest. Win win I LOVE this vacuum. It sweeps so well, my carpets are worn out and need replaced once our rescue is fully house trained and reliable, but this sweeper has such great suction, that it helps fluff the pile up a smidge on our worn out carpet. It has all the attachments that I loved and missed with my last one. I now swore that I will NEVER own anything but a Dyson. So worth the cost. Best vacuums ever
