Malcolm, Wolverhampton

+ Light, easy to store, good cleaning suction, good range of tools with the machine and also can be supplemented at a reasonable price. Ideal for cleaning stairs and much easier than the larger models for carrying upstairs.Easy to transport ( I look after my father's house) and very good for car cleaning.

- Short power cable, flimsy extension tubes, small capacity bin

hannah, stott , “cat owner and mum ”

+ small which is great for lugging round the house and storing, turbo brush is amazing for picking up hair, really quick and easy to empty too. Comes with lots of great tools.

- cord isn't long enough to do more than one room at a time really, which is a pain

+ The suction is really good, and the turbine head really efficient. It's small, so great if you don't have much storage space.

- 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.

+ Lives up to its claims - particularly good with pet hairs.

- Not really bad, but reason for docking one point is there is nowhere to park the small turbo brush

Emma, Southampton , “single mum always rushed”

+ How everything folds away onto itself.
It's a dyson.
Light and easy to carry around.
The rotating brushy bit seems much more easy to clean out which is brilliant.

- Due to design the nozel, when extended won't go into such narrow places anymore.
Wish i'd got a more powerful one - thought it would be more powerful for the money but made a bit of a rush decision there.
Haven't had a go at cleaning yet but seems a little complicated.
Plug lead is not as long as my last one - used to be able to plug into the middle of my house and do everywhere - now hardly reaches up my stairs.
Not really a sensible place to keep the tools.

+ Good suction, good at picking up hair.

- Doesn't hold much at all so have to clear out very regularly. The carpet heads are a bit strange as the suction is used purely to spin the rolling bar in the centre of the head, which is good for picking up hair but it's not great for dust, christmas tree needles etc. as the suction disappears out the side of the head through a valve.

Sam, London, UK , “likes to hoover...”

+ Very small and lightweight, and yet can clean large areas and carry a lot of dust.
Not very loud.
Can bend easily carried, assembled, packed.
Very easy to clean and empty. Low maintenence.

- It sometimes has trouble picking up small pieces of thread, but that's not a big problem.
Price... it's too much, although you are paying for quality.

- Looses suction when telescopic hose not fully extended and colecting cylinder fills up very quickly. Expensive - we are paying an excessive price to own a Dyson.
