I bought this vacuum cleaner in addition to an Electrolux because I have a house with a floor. So I Electrolux for rooms upstairs which I use several times a week, and I wanted to invest in a vacuum cleaner for my room / lounge / kitchen. I also have a Dyson "normal", but it does not always have the courage to take it out, plug it every day. With this Dyson DC62, more worries, it is always charged and ready to use, both for sucking your furniture using soft brushes or soil. Very good aspiration, long battery life (over 20 minutes normally aspirated, a little less if you put the turbo, but honestly we did not often need because the already powerful normally aspirated). The charging time is short (3:30 if it was fully discharged). Since I bought I have not stood my broom and rarely grabs my wipes dust! it serves me several times a day (once a week and I get out my big dyson) THE ADVANTAGES - Handy (a little less than Electrolux) and passes easily under furniture - Always on hand, fixing system convenient and fast wall to catch - Excellent suction - Long battery life - Short charging time - Very easy and quick to empty THE DISADVANTAGES - The brushes are not always easily clipped - Brush change needed if we are to aspire carpets - Easy to empty but certainly a little less when we want clean (which must be done as it aspires régulirement fine micro dust) I put him at even 5 stars because I am very satisfied. the price on amazon is interesting (but still pricey anyway)
