Score 9.0/10+ The small tool is perfect, just takes a bit longer because its smaller. So although I do have some carpet, I prefer the small head attachent. This also gets ito the corners better. But so far, my morning sneezing fit is no more. Fantastic!!! Fits perfectly into a small storage space.
- The main attachment holds too much grip to be useful on hard floors as it is hard to move it about.

Easily stored.
Great at hoovering laminate and carpets.
-
Once you have used it a few times the cord stretches and is harder to wind round the hoover.
When carrying the hoover bits are always falling off it

Score 5.0/10+ good suction. easy to change the head for carpets and then to harder floors you just have to push a button rather than actually change heads.
-
The extedable tube is a nuisance as when you try to extend it it sometimes takes a few goes for it to click in place so when you start hoovering the goes back into itself and you have to keep extending it to stay in place.
The bendy hose is supposed to wrap around the machine when storing but it is very difficult to do and to get it to stay there i have given up trying. Also when using the machine (although we are probably not supposed to) but when you are using the machine and you pull it towards you as you are moving along the bendy hose comes out of the machine. Also when you are pulling the machine along it doesnt follow along in a straight line it veers off to one side which means you cant steer it through doorways and it is always crashing into the skirting boards you have to go and pick it up and carry it.
It doesnt sit on the stairs very well like my old dyson used to.
To sum up i would say that the machine is not very user frendly

Score 9.0/10+ amazing how much stuff it sucks up. we vaccumed our flat after the builders had already done it with a henry and filled the thing up. very powerful
- switching on wood flooring mode, seems to switch back to carpet mode too easily.

Score 7.0/10+ Light enough to use on the stairs, and the head unit can get under the bed. When working almost flat (i.e. me lying down!) the head has excellent suction - ideal for under the bed! Best when using the smaller attachments on the hose, and getting on tops of cupboards or in corners - very easy to use. When you get the suction the cleaning is great - it has transformed our bedroom, and my husband no longer wakes up sneezing as a result of his dust allergy!
- The suction offered by the head when used upright (i.e. me standing up) is not that good for cleaning wider carpet areas. It tends to 'skid' off the carpet. I have another 'upright' dyson, and I use that for the main carpet areas.

Score 9.0/10+ This is my third Dyson cleaner and I'm always very impressed with them. I've only given 8 for ease of use because it takes a while to unwrap the hose and put the head on but to be fair it's a Stowaway and that's what it's designed for.
- I'm a little concerned about the Telescope Wrap as it does appear to be a little flimsy but then the cleaner does come with 5 year guarantee.

Score 7.0/10+ The design is good The suction power is very good.
- It is a little on the heavy side and the parts are cheap. The main stem of the hose keeps disassembling from the rest of the machine.

Score 9.0/10+ strong suction, good storability, easy to use, transfers well between different floor surfaces
- the cylinder doesn't always follow you straight - it goes off to one side and gets stuck around corners

Score 8.0/10+ small and compact
- to many clipps and connections, could easily streach and damage hose wrapping it round the body of hoover.

Score 7.0/10+ Good suction.
- Probably more suited to a bigger area, bit of an awkward drag around furniture in a smallish room.
