For the price, I have long been reluctant to take the plunge. I husked reviews of other buyers on all commercial sites, forum and test sites. Personally, I find that it is very good vacuum, and that contrasts with all the others I've tried before. The noise is not so loud that several people have suggested the comments, it makes noise certe months but a canister vacuum midrange brand with less suction. Aspiration is extra, with the turbo brush for carpets and rugs, it will really look small dust removers. I spent the dyson on my carpet after my old vacuum cleaner, and it happens to a lot of dust off again. The hard floor brush is effective in flooring and tiles, nothing to add to it. The other 2 accessories shipped with also find useful. The reservoir may be a bit small, but I'm used to empty it after each use, so no worries. Once we understand the manipulation, there is no problem to empty. Easy to handle, it easily guide everywhere without any problems. All aspi is plastic, but very good quality. Only downside, the manual reduced to its name, very basic diagram to explain the mode of operation. At this price will have the dyson make an effort. The question is what that will give over time, but the beast is 5 year warranty.
