it's got the power of dyson behind it and a guarantee
-
it's useless because it will NOT pick up hair. Every vacuum I've had until now has had problems with power loss etc but they have all picked up hair. It's infuriating and takes twice the amount of time as I have to get on my hands and knees to get the force needed to pick up the easier bits of hair. The rest just won't budge and I have to get out my old hoover for that part.

Excellent suction. Different tools for different surfaces - i.e. flat surface tool, carpet tool, mattress tool etc. All work very well (although I had to order some of the tools separately - the only disadvantage). We bought the Dyson in the UK and took it to Italy where the Dyson cleaners are more expensive. It's excellent for use on the italian tiled floors!
-
No real bad points - but I would prefer the older version of the tube attachment to the handle. The new style 'petrol pump' handle doesn't have the control I'd like. IT's a bit too fancy and you can't get that close into tighter places with the smaller tools.

Simply put, it is better than any vacuum cleaner we've ever owned: more efficient, easy and comfortable to use - and in nearly 40 years of married life we've owned a lot of cleaners!
-
The the only fault so far as we are concerned, and it might be to do with arthiritic fingers, is that it is not easy to unclip in order to release and remove the container carrying all the vacuumed dirt and rubbish the Dyson has effortlessly picked up.

It's just excellent. People who complain about it generally aren't using it properly. You pay money for a decent product and you have to invest time in getting the best out of it. It's powerful; it is designed well; it has a good range of attachments; the cord is long; the wand is long; the head is flexible and can be rotated and the whole thing can go practically flat, so as long as you have the elbow room you can get it right under furniture and beds.
I love it.
-
None really; the only thing I'd say is it takes up more floor space - when being stored - than you would imagine, but with a bit of creative thinking it's not too difficult to overcome. Hint; the thing disassembles very easily!

I just love this machine. Having always had for the last 27 years a machine with a bag in it and never having liked the dyson because of its awful colour and bagless cylinder. This machine has made me change my mind. The suction and moveability of the heads is ideal and i think the colour is so so much better than the yellow! I would definitely recommend this as i have to my mother who is 78.

Its a Dyson! I like the flat head, very important for us as have wooden, tile and carpeted areas. My mum has to stowaway animal which has a turbo head, I much prefer this head as goes under anything etc. feels less harsh. we have a dog, its fine for the hairs. Tools are great, the small head is great for the sofa, car and curtains, and I use the small round brush on the dado-rails and doors etc, overall a good set of tools, very functional. We were looking at other cheeper bagless models ad then got given one, it was completely useless! locked on the first go. But the Dyson just keeps sucking, even after building work mess. As the saying goes.... 'if you want something like a Dyson, get a Dyson'. We are quite happy with ours.

Comes with reasonable set of accessories and has a 5 year guarantee. Cleans well.
Main attachment is ultra thin and gets under furniture well.
-
The mounting point for the main head and tube looks a bit flimsy, but this will be covered by the guarantee,
The amount of dust etc that can be held before it requires emptying (according to the mark on the container) is on the small side. It will hold more but presumably at reduced suction.
