    Just bought it, but the older version that we had worked great for over 3 years. It it stop working took back to store and they gave me a store credit and got this newer version. Hopefully it will last more than 3 years this time if not to to worry bought the 5 year warranty again.

    I love the vacuum cleaner. I love you don’t have to squeeze the trigger. There’s a lot of things I love about this vacuum the one thing that I’m a little on the fence about is the section on the.Eco mode it kind of sucks and when you have it on super section, you only have like six minutes to sweep something

    Dyson Quality Isn't What It Used to Be

    I’ve been a loyal Dyson customer since the DC01 and still have a DC04 that works perfectly. Unfortunately, Dyson’s quality has really declined over the years. Their vacuums used to be solid and reliable. Now, they feel brittle, break easily, and clog constantly. The build quality has clearly gone downhill. I really want to like the Gen5detect Cordless Vacuum. The design is smart, the LCD screen is a nice touch, battery life is good, and the optic cleaner head is impressive. But it just doesn’t hold up. Even a small piece of paper will clog it. The wheels on the vacuum head are flimsy and held on with a tiny axle. Ours kept snapping off after just a few uses. In the end we just drag it across the floor without the wheels! We are not using it aggressively. We’ve had to return the vacuum twice. On the third issue, Dyson refused to cover it, even though they admitted the problems were product faults. I escalated the issue to corporate, and they sent us replacement heads, which also broke. After more problems, I gave up. It’s just not worth the hassle. Dyson can and should do better. At $949 plus tax, this level of quality is unacceptable.

    Awful: the wheels literally fell off within days

    Never again Dyson, and never again Best Buy. Hafeez, the manager of Best Buy on Elston in Chicago was practically giddy to report that unless i bought the protection plan on a $1,000 vacuum my only recourse is to continue to search for a human at Dyson to help me. Big box stores serve little value anymore other than padding profits through extended warrenties. My dad always said, if a company makes a good product (as Dyson claims they do) an extended warrenty is a waste of money. I’ve always supported big box stores because I assumed they supported the community and their employees. They just reduce employees to delivering bad news on bad policies. So sad.

    Great vacuum my only complaint is that it doesn't come with a second battery or i wish you could use the charge cord and have the vacuum turn on if needed. It usually only lasts 30 min on carpet on auto setting. I also dont like the soft roller for hard wood floors. The light on the soft roller is awesome but the soft roller doesn't really suck up dirt.
