I have had this model of Dyson for 5 years. It is a brilliant machine and no way would I swap it........

I bought it as a retirement present to myself and have never regretted it. It is heavy to carry, but does a fantastic job, the handle reverses so you can clean under things, the dust brush is handy for cleaning curtains and soft furnishing as well as getting rid of the cobwebs you cannot reach any other way.

I recently had the Dyson serviced by Dyson in my home £65 for a complete service and included the parts. A new brush bar and filters and it works as well as ever, the suction is so powerful you have to watch you do not pick up things by mistake. Its so easy to empty too, mind you it can be scary the first time you use it to clean a carpet with the amount of muck you can see in the cylinder is truely amazing, I was horror struck the first time I used it.
