I leave a vacuum that B & D aspired to nothing, and that for about six minutes maximun. What fun to have a real Motorised Suction and a really good self, for my first fifteen minutes cleaning the car and the battery still does not give signs of weakness. It was by chance that I discovered this version without battery (on amazon.de) and I'm really glad I bought this product compatible with batteries of my punch and my screwdriver. It is bruillant, but this is normal because so powerful! For the home, it is in my opinion unusable as garbage collection, there is no support and it does not make sense. As vacuum to a young couple who moved, it will do well as the accessories make it very easy to handle, cleaning is easy and efficient filter. A buy with or without the battery and forget the Dyson very ugly and very expensive.
