Advantages: Brushes can be turned off easily to enable hard wood floor vacuuming

Disadvantages: Heavy....strains te wrist a bit??

Having had Dysons in the past when my last one decided to give up after a number of years I didn't hesitate to buy another one.
I looked into all the different models and thought this one looked adequate for what I needed it for and tbh I was quite intrigued by the design.

It was very easy to put together with a few clicks and the machine was ready to go.
Upto now I haven't been disappointed with the way if performs. It is very powerful and cleans really well. The ball means it does move around corners easier however it is quite heavy which means it can be quite strainful on the wrist (it might just be me!!).

I love the fact it has a button so you can turn off the brushes to enable me to go from carpet to hard wood flooring, we have a mixture of both in our house and it used to annoy me having to get a brush out to do the hardwood after hoovering!! Its so much easier and saves quite a bit of time.
The tools are ok, I like the fact that on the nozzel tool you can move a brush bit down the nozzel to enable you to hoover along the skirting boards.

To empty the cylinder is also very simple and works in the same way as my older dyson..press the release button at the top of the cylinder and once over the bin push the button on the cylinder to realease the bottom. It does seem to have a smaller capacity than my older version dyson so does need to be emptied more often (either that or my house is muckier lol).

It is quite noisey but then I haven't really compared it to other hoovers so I assume they are all that noisy.
All in all I am very pleased with my purchase and definetly worth the money I paid for it £215 (special offer £60 off at argos a few months ago). It does seem quite expensive but comes with a 5 year parts guarentee aswell.

Summary: I'm pleased with it!!
