I've had this vacuum for 2 years so this review is from long term use. Overall, this vacuum is amazing. It does everything you say it does. No problems with suction or performance. My one per peeve is the dust bin was not designed to handle long thick dark hair. I always have to reach deep into the bin to pull out long hairs. It seems that Dyson forgot to look at how to deal with hair that is long, dark, and thick. If you live with folks with long hair that is as strong as superman's.

It's good, but I did pay extra for the Animal version as I have two dogs. My brother bought the regular version and we compared. They basically work the same. The vacuum end is advertised as tangle free, but it definitely still tangles. It is convenient to pull apart to clean, but not what's advertised. So....I think I just spent more money

I used this a few days ago for the first time and love it! My carpets look brand new! So much dirt came out, you'd think it had been months since I'd last vacuumed instead of a couple of weeks (my old one broke). It is so easy and light to use, the canister is easy to empty. I can't say enough positive things about it!

Lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and powerful; this vacuum works very well on both laminate and carpet. One of my favourite features is the easy-empty dust basket. The container opens and empties directly into the trash can with the push of a button. No mess or fussing with bags. I'm very pleased with this purchase and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or buy again.

I bought this machine a month ago and what a difference from my older Dyson DC35 machine. Stronger suction, different power levels as well as a longer battery life. The duration of the battery does vary on the level you choose and I found using the middle level allowed the battery to last longer. Although I bought the Dyson 10 cyclone Animal and we have no animals, there is no longer any hair on the power bar, it just goes straight into the bin. The new bin holds more and easily gets pushed out of the bin and into the garbage, so you never have to touch it. My only criticisms would be my model came with several attachments which do not all fit onto the docking station.

Only had it now for a month but so far so good. Only negative is the power brush head is a bit small if you are using for a big house. There is an larger version you can upgrade to. And it's a little hard to release the long wand but I am hoping this gets easier with use.

I bought mine 2 weeks age and really like it . All in one . Has a light weight very easy to use with powerful suction. Before I hated vacuuming and now with this great vacuum I really like the cleaning my carpets. Very easy and quick. Thank you dyson.

My husband bought this for me before Christmas. It is great! My only problem with it, is it is heavy for me after a while. I was wondering if there is a handle of some sort for it. That would make it the best. I have a built in, in the house, but this is so handy to just grab and go. Love it!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this vacuum, going from a traditional upright. It just looked weird and awkward. But omg, I absolutely love this thing. It would be my third Dyson. Yes, it takes a while to get used to holding the trigger, and having a smaller receptacle that needs emptying more frequently, but I feel so free with the the cordless aspect, the smaller head, and the light weight. Instead of lugging out the heavier old upright, undoing the cord, plugging it in, I just unhook the charger cord and connect it to the stick part. Now if I see a little something on the floor I can take care of it right away, 1, 2, 3. The attachments are great. I put them all in a small plastic box with a handle and just take that out of the closet too when I am doing a more deeper cleaning. I just hope the rechargeable battery has a long life.

So far we are very please with this Dyson, We have 2 V6 models but this is far more powerful , only slight bother is, it is noisier and vibrates more than the V6, but thats probably because of the extra power and the larger head. Overall , very satisfied .
