Only downsides: a bit noisy and limited range (15 minutes by standard power); it is therefore not consider it as a main vacuum but really as a troubleshooting vacuum cleaner to pick up quickly crumbs lying around ... Otherwise it is possible to buy Dyson a second battery, which can be loaded independently of the vacuum cleaner and that we will use when the first will be empty.
Note that you should always press the button to operate the aspi ... Some will see a downside, I personally consider that muscle although this index is an advantage because we use the battery only when you want to aspirate and when not moving objects on the ground ... So, 15 minutes of autonomy are more than sufficient for my use.
This vacuum is anyway much lighter and therefore more manageable than its competitor brand Rowenta (tested with my mother).
So I do not regret my purchase despite the price and hassle of autonomy.
