My almost 20 year old dyson ball recently died. I purchased this thinking I'd get another nearly 20 years out of a Dyson product and I can now say, with certainty, this new one will likely less than 5 years. The good - nice long cord and the vacuum seems to be very powerful The bad - my god, the horrendous smell of plastic is overwhelming. I had to take breaks using it. It's bitterly cold or I would've set it outside and opened the windows to use it. The quality is abysmal. It feels like a toy made for a child and not a nearly $400 vacuum. The fact that you just yank it down instead of a floor button to release the handle should tell you all you need to know about the quality shortcuts. I'm trying to decide if I should even bother trying to return it now that I've used it. I'm beyond disappointed and shocked that this is rated so highly. Buyer beware, Dyson is not longer a company known for its quality.

The suction pick up on the Dyson is great! However, using the hose and attachments are very frustrating and very awkward. Clearly this design was NOT thought out well. There is no bend in the attachment hose and trying to hold the hose for suction to continue, hold the vacuum, and clean the stairs at the same time is crazy. If I could, I would return this vacuum and buy something cheaper but easier and more efficient to use. I do not recommend this vacuum.

Loved the way it works as promised !

Difficult to maneuver, loud

Works great, it is heavy but I think it’s worth it

I love it it’s one thing I bought that works as advertised!

Bulky, extender wand is also a struggle

Excellent vacuum works great.

A little heavy but super powerful!

Excellent sweeper! Just a bit heavy. Suction is great and cleans well.
