Good Points
Stylish and very good at cleaning carpets when serviced properly.
Bad Points
Poor suction at the wand. Some components feel fragile and the wand did break when my Dyson fell over.
General Comments
Other reviewers have spoken of a loss of suction and suggested checking the narrow airways for blockages. These checks are worth doing but the main problem is that even the genuine Dyson belt hardens and elongates by up to 50% over time. This means that although the suction may be optimum, the rotating brush does not have enough torque to pick up hair etc. I replaced the belt and the improvement was amazing.
