Good Points

It works great! As advertised, it doesn't lose suction (Unless, of course, you neglect to empty it regularly). Works way better than our Hoover bagless at getting fine silt out of the carpet. Glides easily and is a pleasure to use. Empties very easily and we love the way it gets things clean and keeps pulling finer dust out from the carpet and from objects and furniture.


Bad Points

Doesn't go under low objects unless you use the wand.
Need to plan ahead a little and use the wand in one session since it's a bit of work to set up using the wand. (We use a long hose and wand from our Hover so we can quickly hook that up then get back to the carpet.
A bit costly and made of plastic but we shall see how it holds up (it may be durable enough that it's fine).


General Comments

We didn't get our Dyson DC07 Animal with all the attachments, so I tried the furniture sweeper tool from our Hoover. (It never worked well with the Hover since there was not enough suction to make it work properly). I works absolutely GREAT with the Dyson and REALLY cleans furniture and the cars wonderfully.
We are very glad we got the Dyson, it's embarassing how much dirt it pulls up from the carpet, but that's great!
I'd recommend it to anyone that feels that their vacuum is lacking in suction power, the Dyson Cyclone concept works like a charm and the easy empty makes life a lot easier. (We have three dogs that shed).

Long hair will get wrapped around the carpet brush and this does need to be removed as a routine maintenance but this is true for any vacuum with a carpet sweeper. I just unplug it and there is ample room (access) to remove the dog and human hair that gets wrapped around the brush. I'd have probably made a few things a little heavier duty but then again, it's a well thought out design and works well so I really have no major complaints at all. We Like It!
