Bad Points

General Comments

Read reviews on Dysons (in general) and despite Dyson's reputation, I was a bit hesistant about spending £200 on vacuum cleaner. I have to say that after initial use I am very impressed. The carpets had been vacuumed only hours before with Electrolux vacuum (which this Dyson replaces because despite "cyclonic technology" it lost useful suction within about 18 months, despite frequently cleaning filters).

Also, with the turbobrush (no extended hose) I can cover 9 stairs, which I deem to be adequate.

I hope that the Dyson maintains its performance as on first impressions I shouldn't have hesitated to buy in the first place.

Please note I have given a durability rating of 5 to remain neutral as I cannot yet comment on robustness of this vacuum cleaner.

    I found this review helpful because it stated that the cleaner was easy to useand sucked well which I need with six animals in the house. I have owned three Dysons before but they fall down on durability. Henry hound or Miele would be my choice for animal hair pick-up but both have bags and the Miele has a short lead.
