The wheels which you use to store the machine when "parked" don't seem that sturdy, the cord isn't quite long enough for my requirements, heavy to use (although I don't mind that and like the fact it probably gives me more of a workout), heavy to carry up stairs. Don't like the fact you can see the brush bars rotating and the grime stuck around that area, which you can't keep on cleaning.

Don't particularly like the position of the on/off switch. I am happy with it being foot operated, but the position is a little awkward, as it's right next to the suction pipe. Also, where the suction hose connects to the base of the hoover is a little awkward, as it easily gets knocked when trying to hoover under the bed or furniture.

The only thing I can think that could be a disapointment is that it does have a tendensy to tip over if you pull it too hard. I would just like to see the wheel at the front to be sturdier maybe.

good suction easy to use like the storage for tools

I have two dogs and this is the first vacuum I've found that does what it says and picks up the hair and dirt they leave behind wherever they go. Initially I thought this vacuum was expensive and wondered whether its performance would justify the price - but it does and is worth every penny. I can't say I'll ever get to like vacuuming but this machine makes the whole process as quick and effective as I suspect it can be. The design is good with the parts such as tubes, brushes, filters fitting together easily and securely and the vacuum feels like it is built to last. I also like the way the bag seals itself as it's removed, so there's none of the swirling dust and dirt that I've previously had with bagless vacuums. I like this vacuum!

Great for picking up dirt, hair, etc - brought a manky carpet up like new. On board tools storage case is a bit flimsy. Doubt it will stand the test of time. Also, hair gets entangled in the rollers and must be cut free which is a nuisance. Overall though - really pleased with it.

It is a very reliable vacuum. I like the fact that you can easily undo the hose so you can dust or get into small places. It also goes very flat for reaching under chairs etc

Do not like the way the tools are stored on the top of the cylinder as they can get knocked off easily. Otherwise a very good vacuum cleaner.

SWITCHING IT ON AND PUSHING THE FRONT DOWN, DONT LIKE THAY

Excellent value for money. The overall appearance is very stylish and it does everything l expected. It was easy to assemble and l like the fact that there are lots of openings to clear any blockages ie build up of debris. Very good suction and the turbo brush is fantastic on the stairs.

the telescopic shaft of cleaner does not go down small as would have liked

Like all these mini hand held vacumn cleaners it is a little awkward to empty. Bit stiff but may loosen up with use.

Easy to use, like a hoover. Good results and sucks most of the water from carpet.

For people like me who don't have a lot of storage space it's the best. And it's light to move around.

Picks up all dog hairs like no other machine

Light in weight. Tools easy to access as you don't have to take it apart to use hose like Dyson uprights.

The main fault i find with this product is the positioning of the cable, I would find it easier if it was higher as i like to hold the cable as i clean to keep it out of the way of the suction.

Really like the turbo brush. Good compact size and metal tubes (opposed to plastic ones).

It has a powerful motor without being heavy to use. The bagless system is also very easy to use, and you do not have the dust you have hoovered up on show (like some models)

very light and easy to use# nothing bad about it deals iwth the cat hairs very well, my carpet looks like new

dont like the vents on the on board tools. i like all the suction when hoovering and using accesories but new dyson tools seem to have vents on them dont know why .

Very powerful, great for picking up the dog hair and my carpets look like new again.

I like the fact I can clean carpet, wood and tiles. It is very powerful and everything about it is easy.

small compacked, works as good as it bigger brothers, dont have to move everthing to get around, in an out of all the small places. packs away like a dream.

Lightweight (my previous vacuum cleaner was a DC07). Easy to manoeuvre under furniture (sideboard/dining table/chairs/beds etc). Useful "switch" between rugs/tiles and laminate - and it doesn't scratch the laminate - like the DC07 did! Quick and easy to change attachments. Finally, my children don't mind vacuuming now, as they found the DC07 far too heavy and cumbersome - hopefully the novelty won't wear off too soon!

Excellent attention to design detail. Excellent quality and performance. If you like solid, intelligent technology chaps, you'll appreciate the German build. Does what it is supposed to do. Cheap dust bags; readily available spare parts; 5 year warranty.

After struggling with a heavy Dyson this machine is a joy to use. I bought it specifically for its weight but because the depth is slim it is able to go under all my units, I also like how it gets to the carpet edge. The flexible hose design is also very user friendly. Personally I cannot fault it.

I would like the battery life to be a little longer, but most of the time it lasts for enough time.

unfortunately it iis very loud on the eardrums which can lead to hearing loss so as I already suffer from tinnitus I tend to wear earplugs. It is a pity as I quite like the vacuum cleaner apart from this. The other point is I had quite a bit of trouble putting the dust cap back after emptying as the lid is very stiff so had to phone to see why it would not fit and was told to keep pushing the lid round much harder. This really hurt my hands but now I will not take it off again but unscrew from the inside to take out the filter.

The wheels on the floor unit enabled my 81 year old mother to use the unit without problem, she also liked the amount of suction the cleaner has.

everything and its weighs like an elephant!!

I don't like the way the brush moves and would prefer a static brush head

I like the power and pick up ability

It's a little noisey, and there's a lot of filters to clean with water, but are they all like that?

Everything you need is attached to the valume helps easy storage and ease of cleaning. Like to see how much dirt I have collected which can do with see through drum also know exactly when to empty drum.

I bought this product because I loved the Vax cyclone cleaner I had a few years ago and currently own a small Vax cylinder type cleaner which I am pleased with. The new wheel design has made this product a lot easier to use and it's very light to push across the carpet. The suction power is better than any other vacuum cleaner I've ever owned and leaves my carpets looking like they've just been cleaned. It's easy to empty too.

Although it is lightweight and can be picked up easily, it could have done with being a bit more manoeuverable as the wheels are very "fixed" and it doesn't follow you around as well as I would have liked.

Filters terrible to clean - especially the one that looks like a car air filter. If it wasn't for this problem (which puts me off using the vacuum cleaner) I would recommend it.

Powerful suction, picks up my dogs hair. Long lead, I can hoover the whole bungalow from one plug. Like the manual lead rewind plus the large bag capacity.

Used on a light carpet with quite a lot of marks and it came up like new - brilliant

I am very pleased with this product and my home is now immaculate. I particularly like the stair cleaning facility which makes this difficult task a breeze. It is very good at picking up cat fur from all surfaces. It also looks quite sturdy and well made.

Easy to use and picks up really well. Like the easy to use extension hose.

Would like to be able to clip the hose to the vacuum to store it away neatly. Would be nice to have option of different colours.

Would have liked a slightly longer cable, but can work around that.

Its fab value for money, easy to move around, does a good job. really like the product. I cant think of any bad points,its just fab value for money.

It cleans very well, great power. I like the way the tools fit on it for ease of use and the very versatile wand. I wouldn't buy anything other than a Dyson.

Cleans like a dream

The Hose coming out of the top of the handle not like my old Dyson DC07 All Floors

Its not so much bad a point, you have to get use to manouvering the ball, after a few bruises on the shins you get use to it. The pull out handle for stairs is not as flexible as I would like it and putting it back into ilst slot can take some time....again its just getting use to it.

This is my 2nd purchase of the same model. This time it has better color & material in the body: sleekish, cleanish, robotic, ready-set use image EXCELLENT performance, smooth movement like it's following me wherever I go like a dog. Quite'ish. Like the Eco switch-option. Reliable & reassuring anti-allergies vac that suits my budget & lifestyle. Thanks for caring & saving my life!

Follows you around the floor better than its (famous) predecessor - a lot cheaper too.It's got a longer cable, is lighter, has better suction, we also like the power control being on the handle.

I suppose you could say its loud, but so are other hoovers! Disappointed that the hose doesn't reach to the top of the stairs - it is not flexible like my Dyson!!!!! so you have to lift the hoover on to a step.

when using the hose to vacuum under furniture the Vax pulls over very easily, so far I have been hit on the shoulder blade, which was sore for a couple of days, and it has nearly hit my young son who likes to help a couple of times as it just topples over without the hose being stretched to its full length. I have the power lead looped through the handle, as where it comes out of the body of the Vax it trails on the floor and tends to get stood on, so by having it up high I am no longer standing on it.

I like that the tools clip on & don't fall off like other vacuum cleaners I've had. The ball is great!! Cleaning is great too!

It is light and easy to pull along, or carry upstairs, cord rewinder is very good, I like the design and colour it also stores away very easy.

lovely colour, easy to use, feels like a quality product that will last.

It picks up just like your 'normal' size dyson and doesnt loose suction power even when the battery runs out simply turns off

It Design is terrific. I felt like buying a new car. But it wasn't what I was looking for. Therefore it performance is great and it solve the problems, being dust, hair or sand.

would have liked a longer flex

Doesn't like plaster or saw dust (fair enough I guess). My model does not have filter that can be replaced regularly with dirt bags. Have to knock out dirt rather than put in new filter pad..

The handle is adjustable and removable, but because of this it moves slightly as you use it to push the hoover. Feels like you don't have total control.

very good suction cleaning power. easy empting, extra extendable hose, quick release cable, good tools and well designed storage on the machine, I also like the light.

Dont like the metal shaft that attaches to the hose. Never really think that is quite as good as using plastic to plastic. The handle shape dosnt allow ease of use if you are not using the metal adaptor so makes it difficult to hoover stairs and skirting boards.

It's very easy to use and like all Dyson products the suction is brilliant.

Sucks like a mad thing!

would like a longer nozzle and maybe longer hose to reach top of stairs.

very efficient, light to move around, sucks up like no other vaccuum cleaner I have had. easy to store as it is quite small.Easy to change bag.Lots of different tools with it.

MIELE S7260 1800W - CAT & DOG This is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used, especially good if you have pets as no nasty smells come through the vacuum during use due to the active charcoal filter and its very powerful as it has lifted our bedroom carpet pile back up which our previous Dyson failed to do so. The Miele is very robustly built and very quiet compared to my previous Dyson DC07i, I have had 3 Dyson's in the past and the parts break quite easily on them and the suction seems to reduce over time. The Miele is very well thought out as all the onboard tools are very handy and accessible even the cable tidy is positioned at the top of the machine, so you don’t even have to bend down to wrap the cable back around after use. I don't want to go off on one pulling Dyson's products to bits but everyone knows that Dyson's sell themselves on being a bag less cleaner, which is great if you don't have pets, and don't mind stripping your machine down every so often to give it a wash out, but if like me you have any pets you will notice that they start to smell pretty bad after a while and unless you strip the collection bin and cyclone assembly every few weeks with a mild detergent they smell terrible when in use, Whereas the Miele is fantastic "so what" if you have to buy bags every so often it’s so much cleaner to use, as the suction passes through an active charcoal filter before passing through Dust Bag and any pet odours are eliminated, once the bag is full simply dispose of it in the rubbish bin, pop in a new one and you're off, no parts to strip down and wash. Definitely recommend to any pet owners.

my husband can't work out how to put the hose back so leaves it like a snake in the cupboard. (at least he uses it !)

Makes my 7 year old carpets like new again even though this item replaced a Dyson. The edge to edge cleaning brushes really do clean right up to the skirting boards.

good suction, lifts tuft of carpet with ease - looks like new when it was really flattened, rolls easily, easy dust release mechanism

Have owned a Dyson for past 10 years my last one was a DCO4 it finally gave up . So its performance prompted me to buy another one .The current modelsis a huge improvement much easier to empty and I also like the side edge brushes actually positioned to the sides and the do get right in tight

I usually buy upright cleaners but I have found that they can be cumbersome and difficult to use especially on stairs. After a lot of research I decided to opt for a Miele cylinder and have been very happy with my purchase. It is lightweight, easy to manouvre and ideal for both carpets and hardwood and, because of it's size and weight ideal for using on stairs. My only complaint is that the cord isn't as long enough so I find that I have to unplug it more than I would like when going from room to room. Saying that I would recommend it.

slightly noisey, but unsure what others are like

I love the DC08 Animal. I have two dogs and am allergic to house dust mites, also I have both hard floors and carpeted areas. With my new DC08 it's quick and easy to pick up the hair and get rid of the dust. Best points are: telescopic handle and wrap system, filter on the bit that blows air out is brilliant as my asthma no longer kicks off while I vacuum. I purchased the hard floor tool as an extra (would be nice if this came as standard), which is the perfect fix for dust free sweeping. I also like the ease with which the main brush head can be cleaned.

Transparent dust box. Close cleaning at edges where walls meet floors. Easy to use. It is overall a good machine. I like it's 'chunkiness'.It is squatter than the last Dyson I had. Ease of emptying the dust collector.

fabulous product, cleans really well and the carpet looks like it has been deep cleaned everytime. Would reccomend to anyone.

I purchased this Dyson in December 2008. It is light weight, easy to move around furniture, easy to carry easy to store away due to very compact size. Has good suction for a low power motor. Picks up dirt very easily and doesn't blow it away like my old vacuum cleaner did ( Electrolux Airstream). Overall I find it much easier to manouvre than the larger model, which I tried out in the store, especially around furniture

It is a bit like a task on the krypton factor to figure out where all the attachments go!

Like all upright dysons,getting the hose out is bit of a pain,especially if you only require it for one small bit.

tools are useful i also like the extendable hose

looks like something off robot wars

Brilliant at picking up and carpets look like new every time i use it. Easy to use and easy to clean.

lighter than the dc01, which was my previous vacuum. onboard tool storage, can go from hard to carpeted floors. amazing suction! actually lifted my carpet off the floor! i particularly like the change of design for the pull out wand with hose, as i used my hose/ pull out wand all the time on my old dyson. love the fact that i don't have a messy job anymore to empty the bin, unlike the dc01.

do not like suck changing to tube when handle in vertical position

Powerful, easy to manoeuvre and quiet. I especially like the rotating brushes. Easily outperforms other vacuum cleaners I have used.

ease of movement, no flashy gismo's hanging off of it, it's light, especially like the long flex, prefere the wind motion to rewind the cable, always found that the automatic kind never work for long, and he's a little friend i do actually speak to him,!

very good suction, good tools-like the hand held turbo charger

I had a DC01 before and the hose/wand was much easier to use. This one doesn't unravel very easily (maybe 'cos it's new but don't think so) I also don't like the way you have to put the cap on the hose to transfer the suction back to the main bit - the old one transferred automatically when you replaced the hose. I also don't like the angled nozzle attachment - I would prefer it straight. Bring back my old Dyson!

Motor very quiet, powerful suction. Like the cable rewind. Exceptionaly light weight.

Neat - folds away and very lite. Sucks like nothing else and gives the floors, whether carpet or wood, a really deep clean Bags are simple to change

Excellent design and very easy to empty. No dust on hands like other bagless cleaners. Great suction and fits into awkward corners easily. Light to carry and the handle makes that easy. Doesn't make your back ache like so many other cleaners. Superb edge-cleaning, definitely the best vacuum-cleaner I've ever had!

A bit too heavy for my liking and when you want to roll the vacuum cleaner backwards to pull it to for example, put it away, the wheels sometimes don't run well. Sometimes the hose pops out of the hole where it meets the main body of the vacuum.

A highly recommended product! Easy to use as all Dyson products are. Not too heavy at all and doesn't take too long to recharge. It gives excellent suction power (was as good as a standard-size model) and has managed to get rid of spilled cat litter with ease. The fact it looks like something from a sci-fi film means I'm not the only one vacuuming any more!

Just got new carpet thought my old cleaner would be fine, old clearner not even a year old what a waste of time didnt look like i hoovered, left aven the smallest of cotton on the floor. Saw the Animal so i bought it as it was designed for animals in mind. which is fantasticI have a dog and i hate the hairs but this had great suction and you could see where you had hoovered and even lifts the carpet making the pile look like new

Much easier to use than the previous Dyson models, seems to be stronger less likely to need to replace parts.I like the stowaway design it fits into the cupboard much better.I also like all the utensils on the main part of the vacuum, rather than the old way of being attached to the wand.

Would like it if sucker tube could be reduced in size for storage & cleaning stairs etc.

LIke the accessories & how they are stored in the machine. LIke the POWER - very good & like the way you can press a button & the power cable goes into the machine. Very light to carry/move.

Doesn't draw as much water out as I would have liked carpet wetter than I thought it would be

The only point I would like to make that is a downside is that the plastic contain er that cllects the dust is quite small and am emptying it more than any pther hoover model I have had previously.

Just brilliant! I never thought a carpet cleaner at this price could clean as well as one of the 'industrial' ones you can hire, but it's actually better. It's as easy to use as a normal vacuum cleaner, and I like the fact that it keeps the dirty water seperate from the clean water. My friends have borrowed it and all say that they didn't believe me when I said how good it was, but all said afterwards that they agreed! If you've got children or pets then this is a must. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

This is my second Dyson after making the mistake of buying a cheaper one in between. I have a big hairy dog and two cats and a cream carpet the Dyson makes pet hair disappear, it folds away brilliantly and is really easy and clean to empty. Please don't waste your money on any other brand like I did, just stretch that bit further and buy this. I have just taken down our real christmas tree and vacumed and it picked up every needle - Fab!

It's like having a new pet who happens to clean the floor.

absoltuly brilliant - like having a full power vacuum cleaner in your hand

ive always had a dyson from the first one that came out, so i bought this for my mum because we like them so much.

Cleans very well, I especially like the side cleaning wheel for against skirtings.

nice to use and well built I particularly like th way the hose can swivel 360 degress.

wall mounting bracket akward and concerned too easy to knock and pull off wall opening for waste smaller than would like tho so far not too much of a problem

very noisy................I don't like the tool positions in comparision with the DC04 we own which is now 7 years old and although a bit rattly is still good

Excellent machine. Previously owned a Dyson & a Hoover but both went wrong. This machine was more expensive than I could have purchased but it is like a Mercedes or Audi, the general build quality & performance warrants those extra few pennys in the long run.

Looks good (as if that matters); powerful suction, and especially like the end nozzle that fits under settees and radiators.

Excellent suction - brought the carpet up like new - good at removing dog hairs. Also clip off front is excellent for 2 flights of stairs.

It works exactly like it says it will. Very powerful vaccum. Highly recommended.

Bit messy emptying the bag. Does not pick up things like cotton bits or close to the carpet bits that stick, so rather disappointing as the fluff is one of the annoying things in the bathroom.

Like my old Dyson, I still find the handle cumbersome to hold, although it has improved on the old DC06. I guess you can't have the technology without giving up something and with the Dyson, it is the weight. It is slightly too heavy, though manageable.

Still heavy so my wife refuses to use it....poor me! The wand hose is a little too short for my liking. After time the wand and its hose can get stuck in the housing ...easily remedied by a spray of silicone.

Having to assemble it was a real pain. I hoped to clean the whole carpet before the suite arrived, but assembling the thing took hours. (I'm not a practical person when it comes to things like that.) If only it had come fully assembled I could have completed the job in time.

its heavy to move around, you run the cord over as it has been put at the bottom of the machine, the wheels like to go there own way,you get covered in dust when you empty it at least twice a week also does not pick up very well and you have to go over it twice

Great design, always handy in my living room for small jobs. Nothing like the suction of a real hoover, but what can you expect

expensive, but with a 5 year Dyson guarantee likely to be value for money in the long-term.

but the performance is abysmal - there is near negligent suction and it needs constant recharging as if you are expected to leave it plugged in forever(something that is impossible to provide in these exorbitant electricity prices). Overall - looks good in the corner, but not very useful ( a bit like the husband/wife (take your pick and delete accordingly).

The overall construction and materials seem very poor quality particularly the small wheels at the back which mean that it is almost impossible to move the machine backwards without deploying the handle. For things like using the hose to clean the stairs it in poor as is the attachment storage. The method of removing the dust container is poor also

If you like extreme suction then this bad boy is for you. Great vacuming experience. A proper tool.

i ordered these two dysons, one for me one for my daughter having also got a dyson animal.i was really disappointed with the suction on the dysons, on both mine and my daughters,they are nothing like as good as my other dyson. the pick up and suction is poor.and i would not recommend this model i feel thgat i have wasted a considerable amount of money on what i though would be the best of vacs

As its a dyson, the usual good points, easy to clean, easy to access on board tools, good suction. I also like the red and silver colouring. I have 2 dogs and although this is not a pet model, it does the job in picking up hairs.

I REALLY LIKE THE HANDS FREE EMPTYING - NO MESS.EASY TO HANDLE, GOOD SUCTION PICKS UP EVERYTHING. AN EXCELLENT HOOVER, I WILL BE STICKING WITH DYSONS FROM NOW ON.

I would have liked the electric cord housing to be a little easier but I can live with it.Havw pets

Complicated to put together. Wouldn't like let anyone that can't assemble flatpack furniture do it. Bodywork seems a bit flimsy. Initially had problems trotating the the dust holder open and closed but that seems to have gotten better with a bit of use. Don't like the position of the power switch...foot operated.

Great "suck". We like the separate small turbo brush.

Seems robust, very easy to use. Has not broken down after a couple of uses in our extreme environment like cheaper machines however early days.

tHIS IS MY 3RD HENRY SO YOU CAN TELL THAT I`M A HUGE FAN. EASE OF USE JUST UNDO THE PIPE AND YOU CAN SCOOP UP TRICKY ITEMS ALSO FAB FOR DOOR JAMS NO FIDDLY EXTRA FITTINGS TO MESS WITH. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE DUEL CHOICE OF SUCTION ON THIS MODEL, MAKING IT GREENER.

It so easy to use and picks up very well, because its connected to the mains it remains powerful and there is no time limit on when the power is reduced for example like the dust busters that are chargeable. It is really good in picking up pet hair off of chairs and sofas and beds. highly recommended.

It's just fantastic! When you look at other vacuums in the same price range they dont seem to be very robust and are often made from cheap materials which scratch and break easily. I have bought three vacuums in the same amount of months and had to take them all back because they were not fit for purpose. This vacuum is heavy duty and is like how appliances used to be made....to last a life time! I don't understand why I have not seen this vacuum for sale on the high street. It's so good my mum has bought one too and she is also amazed after having a string of useless vacuums.

Messy to empty with dust rising into air. However, just like all bagless ones.

Don't like the way the stairs tube comes out the hose. The turbo brush does'nt attach properly and falls off!

like all dysons this has fantastic suction, is simple to use, and can be cleaned with ease.

Fantastic cleaning, hoovers up everything (not like the dyson i had previously) and the little brush attachment is great for dusting!!

Excellent suction and my carpets look like new and fairly light to use.

Easy to handle and picks up well, as we have two dogs this is important. I also like the easy clean filter system.

I love Dysons - and had my original yellow/grey one for many years. The new one is great. I like the additional floor and fabric attachments I bought too. If I had one small niggle it would be that the house is slightly harder to clip back in - but it does have a button release which I am not quite used to whereas the old one just pushed back in. Otherwise I love it.

really liked the previous one I was replacing it with, still looks nice

The cable isn't long enough - that said I don't mind unplugging the product to do my cleaning. Apart from this, I like the product.

brings the carpet up like new.

overall the product is very good. It picks up more dirt and hair than any other cleaner that I've used before. Really like the turbo brush of rugs curtains and the sofa. very easy to empty and clean the filter.

Really lightweight to push considering strength of suction. Very easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces. I like the drop-down handle for storage and no messy old bags to change. Also the ready to use wand.

I liked the look of the Sebo, streamlined and no odd places for dirt & dust togather in I liked the weight of the Sebo It has a good long lead, nice quiet motor

Will remove animal hair from all types of surface with ease. As all cat owners are aware cats like to sit in the sun, whether your curtains are in the way or not! With perfect ease you can remove such hair with the attachments without sucking your curtains up the tube! What more can I say?

Too small its like a toy vacuum cleaner, don't get sucked in by just the picture as I did...!

Excellent suction. Nick-named it 'Fido' as it looks a bit 'cute' ( like a pet dog! ) and thought it may encourage the kids to vaccuum for me - but alas that ploy only worked once! If I accidentally suck up something precious it is more easily found in the transparent dust compartment than in a bagged vaccuum.Small main body.

Not so good on hard surfaces like tiles, need to use hose connections a lot as the product blows air out quite hard causing lighter dirt such as dust and hair to blow about all over the place.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED 2 OTHER DYSON OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS BUT THIS MODEL IS THE BEST I HAVE USED AND ALSO THE WIFE LIKES IT BEST OF ALL THE OTHER MODELS.

dont like the design of pipe for tools,... very awkward to use

Like everything about it

don't like the way the tools are situated. Prefer how they were on older models inside of the dyson

don't like the exhaust air position, keeps blasting one in the face!

I don't like the colour.

Like the detachable rotary brush, it good to use on the stairs and on soft furnishings

Too complicated and time consuming to clean and use. Very small does not hold a lot of dirt. I feel like i'm pulling it apart half the time to clean or use different parts.

Extremely powerful and easy to use. I particularly like the small compact size of the hoover so it's great for storage too!

It's a bit heavy & there isn't a flat attachment for surfaces like stairs.

Good machine. Like bagged machines rather than Vax type ones.

really good suction both on bottom and through sucker attachment. much easier to empty than my previous one and I really like reversible pole which gives handle when doing a lot of attachment cleaning.

Best cleaning vacuum ive ever owned,makes Dyson look like rubbish.

Can be heavy for some operations, like the stairs.

i don't like leaving the charger on all the time so sometimes it does not work for very long. Did not work very well cleaning inside of car.

The ball is a bit large to fit under some furniture. I am aware that the dust collector is a little small but to me this is an advantage because I like to empty it after use, especially as we have two dogs.

It's great for a home with pets, especially a dog which moults a lot like mine, it picks up every hair with ease. Very easy to manoeuvre and also quite light.

powerful suction and ease of use make this cleaner one of the best i have purchased. it looks good too i like the colour scheme.

Would like a longer hose when using the tools - probably because I'm not very tall

Like the economy feature - I didn't need the additional power, the suction lifts the carpet as it is!

plastic tube flexes slightly and the places where the tubes and electrical accessories attach wobble. I'm am sure the tube and joints are durable enough and should not put you off buying this model - I just don't like the feel of it!

would like dyson to make a version that unclips from the main frame to be portable for stairs etc.the machine is a bit weighty.

On/off button is located in a place where it keeps getting knocked by your hand. The whole thing is very "stiff" - not just new - actually very stiff and not fluid like my previous dyson. It is VERY noisy Two parts of the suction that meet at the bottom isn't very "tight" and if it moves apart even slightly then you lose suction. Wand not as long as my previous Dyson for the top of the stairs - it reaches but only just - maybe it's the rigidity that's a problem? One of the tools has changed design as an result it doesn't seem as effective.

placement of Tools look like afterthought

The dust container is ridiculously small, so you have to empty it often - before each vacuuming usually. I can't help thinking they could make the design and use of the telescopic arm and attachments more user-friendly - I feel like I'm swapping between different attachments all the time.

Replaced old Bissell with this new pro-heat and what a difference the constant heat makes, has brought up all the carpets like new no mean feat with two young boys in the house no hesitation in recommending.

So far I have no bad comments to make about my new one, but I would like to add that as I have had three dyson now the one and only bad comment I would like to make is the material ie plastic which over the years it kept on breaking.

a lot lighter than the last one we had,brings all the carpets up like new every time

Suction not strong enough, not as good as my old Hoover Upright. (disapointed) Don,t like having to wait whilst the Automatic Brush Height adjustment takes place Operation (back and forth) has to be slower than my old Hoover in order to "pick up" "Bits" from the Carpet. All in all, a bit disapointing for the price paid.

It does what it say's on the can! I had a green/purple Dyson for six years and it only gave up the ghost because for the past year it has been used on the equivalent of a building site with no respect from its users! Just like the last Dyson this one is easy to empty and very efficient on all surfaces.

Easy to use, great suction, good range of tools. I really like the padding as I have historically had problems chipping the paint on skirting boards when using this type of vacuum cleaner. That doesn't happen with this model. I have a dog and cat and my previous vacuums were the no-bag turbo kind, and I think the sebo vulcano is much, much better. The first time I used it, my carpets looked like new!

Just about everything is very good. It is easy to assemble, feels strong and easy to use . I especially like going back to bags as it is a lot cleaner and less smelly (I have three dogs) and doesn't need emptying so often as it compresses the dirt.

It is easy to use. Easy to empty. It made the carpet look like new. Hadn't realized how inefficient our last cleaner was until we used this one. In our business this is extremely important as first impressions are paramount to our succes.

I always buy Dyson as I feel they clean extra special especially as I have real wood flooring it has been a great help to hoover floors as well as rugs and carpets I specially like the tool for stairs so much more advanced than my last Dyson (which has been passed onto my Daughter who is delighted)

don't like tools storage

a little bigger/heavier than i would have liked but i guess thats a trade of for better performance

very poor quality of the attachments and not enough of them. Buttons look like they might fall apart after a lot of use.

The small upholstery tool keeps falling out of its retainer and I would like to have a brush attachment for upholstery. The sekf winding coil mechanism isn't always efficient.

Sounds like an aeroplane engine!

Don't like the wand very much. Not easy to clean stairs

WONDERFUL MACHINE! It is the most powerful & efficient handheld I have ever used and does a great job of the stairs and of picking up pet hair (which is a true test). It is like a full sized Dyson, miniturised! Yes it is a little expensive, but you have to pay for new technology - and a lot of thought and money must have gone into producing it. Also, there is no drop in power as the battery runs down - it runs at full power to the last.

the cable is way to short not enough to do from 1 room to other like my previous hoover, also everytime you pull it along it turns over so yr having to stop to go and put it upright. ive had a lot of hoovers in my time they mainly being upright this is the first and last time that i would buy an hoover like this. it certainly wasnt worth the money.

Not enough cable it seems like they are penny pinching on the cable front

Cleaning power is excellent, made my carpets look like new.

Machine is a bit heavy and the dust container is not as big as I would like

Nice design, unobtrusive colour, cleans and picks up really well. Good selection of tools. Does not topple when using the extension hose like my old cleaner used to.

EXCELLENT ALL ROUND HOOVER WITH PLENTY OF POWER THAT IS VARIABLE FOR ALL CARPET SURFACES. I LIKE THE EXTENSION HOSE FOR THE STAIRS THAT COMES WITH IT

every thing about this machine is brilliant its easy to load for washing and so easy to use tust like vacuming .

the product is lightweight and easy to handle, it's ideal for laminate floors and particularly good at picking up dog hair on this type of floor, it can be used on short tufted rugs or carpets and good for cleaning stairs. I like the slender design as it is easy to store in cramped spaces. Provided the filter is emptied frequently (after a couple of usages) it is very efficient.

I do find that the suction could be better when it comes to picking up things like bits of cotton, as i tend to have to go round picking these up after i have hoovered!

I would only recommend it to someone who like me only has a few rooms with carpet and a couple of large rugs on wooden floors it would not be suilable for a fully carpetted large house.
