Outstanding!,
This thing is amazing!
I have wanted a Dyson ever since they first came out, but when I went to a store to look at them, it was so heavy I would need one for each level of my house and not enough closet space to store them.
This is under 12 pounds, fits easily in a closet, and is so light it’s very easy to carry up stairs. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of cleaning but being a female engineer I certainly appreciate well-designed products. This one has many clever features. The cleaning head is low-profile, so it easily hugs floor boards under kitchen cabinets (huge plus!). The ball design is incredibly inventive and so easy to use. It’s like the difference hauling a suitcase around that has weels that go in only one direction vs. the new ones with pivot wheels – makes SO much sense and doesn’t hurt my back to use it.
Cleaning power is great! It isn’t especially labelled for pet hair cleanup, but does a great job. I cleaned once with my old vaccuum, then filled this Dyson up with a 2nd run through. I was amazed at how much my old one didn’t pick up!
Assembly is easy – just 3 snap in place steps and no tools. If you get stuck on attaching the wand (which didn’t seem to fit when you put it in according to the picture), turn it around to the other side and it snaps right in.
Most vacuums have hand tools that are awkward or just don’t work. This is so easy to pull out (with a long handle to reach ceiling cobwebs) that I don’t hesitate to use it many times in the midst of vacuuming a room. The attachments have very good suction power. The long handle makes everything, floor to ceiling to window sills, easy to reach without effort.
The only thing I’d improve upon is a better attachment for stair cleaning. The attachment isn’t quite wide enough to make stair cleaning as fast as I’d like. I think there is an attachment sold separately that looks wider that might be better. And if you try to do stairs without the attachment (and carry the whole vacuum up each stair), it is difficult because the back set of balls move and disable the rotating brush and you can’t manouver the whole thing across a stair. But no vacuum can do that properly, right?
All in all, I think it is a tad bit expensive, but I think I’ll never buy another vacuum in my life. And how good for the environment, not needing to buy and throw away vacuum bags! If I divide the cost by the number of years I’ll use it and the decreased allergens in my house, it is worth every penny!
I’m not the kind of person to get excited about a vacuum cleaner, so I hope you appreciate my review 🙂 I really do like this machine!

|Worth every penny…,
I was skeptical about Dyson vacs in general because of the price, but I have to say this is probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made for several reasons. The main reasin is that I have nerve damage and less than normal cartilage in my lower vertebrae, which made vacuuming very painful and laborous. On top of that, I have two dogs so I vacuum all the time. This vacuum is literally a miracle for me. It is so lightweight and so easy to maneuver that I don’t have any pain after doing the whole house. That is really saying something, since things as small as leaning over for 10 minutes to wash the dishes causes me pain. It practically glides effortlessly across my floors (which are half carpet and half hardwood). Seriously, I almost cried tears of joy the first time I used it.
In addition, it works spectacular, and just snapped together out of the box. The first time you use it you’ll see that so much thought went into the design specifcially for functionality. It’s pretty and modern, but more importantly, it’s functional. I love that it can move along flush with a wall, so I rarely need to use the attachments (except to get behind stuff). And it’s relatively small. I expected it to be much larger, but it’s small and so very, very light. You’ll really notice the difference between it’s 16lb and the normal 25-30lb for other 11 amp vacs. And it’s relatively quiet.
Another thing I really like is that it doesn’t seem to be a dust magnet. My last vacuum cleaner seemed to attract most of the dirt to itself, rather than sucking it into the canister. I stored it outside in our laundry room because it was a stinky mess (and I’m talking about a high end Dirt Devil model that was less than a year old). The Dyson is clean enough to stay in the house after several months.
Vacuuming is not the most glamorous thing in the world, but this vac has surely revolutionized house cleaning for me. I know, silly, but it’s true.
