This is the worst Dyson model i have ever had. My first was the DC01 which was great, but when it needed replacing it was no longer made, so i opted for the DC04. I was never as happy with the DC04 as the first one, but it was still very good. Then i bought this contraption! I thought with it being shorter and wider, that the problem of it tipping over would have been resolved - but no! Also the suction on the 'chisel' end isn't so good......what are those slits all about!? Don't try vacuuming sand or shake'n'vac coz it all sprays out of this slit! But my worst gripe is the emptying procedure. The others were so easy, this is a nightmare, and my husband has to do it for me. I'd never buy this model again although i do still rate the dysons...just not this one
