Difficult to use the hose as you have to use it quite a distance from the vacum cleaner itself otherwise you risk breaking the hose when you try to get into difficult places.

This is an efficient and powerful vacuum. It cleans right to the edges (it really does). The accessories are easily stored and inserted and the two way wand is brilliant on the stairs. The new style drum is very easy to empty and the whole vacuum cleaner is easy as anything to keep clean. Everything that can be cleaned out comes apart with the minimum of fuss. The filter is simple to wash out....no money spent out on the old style filters...what a bonus.
-
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.

After having my previous Dyson (DC 1) for many years I was expecting this model to be an improvement but I would say the reverse is the case. It's much too heavy and much too tall. It is also extremely noisy. When using the tools, the flexible hose pulls the cleaner around with you instead of extending and gets in the way. I would also say that the tools are not as easily accessible as before.
