Advantages: Picks up everything, is great for pets!

Disadvantages: very heavy and difficult to carry upstairs

I have always purchased the cheapest hoover available thinking they all done the same job so why pay more? This all changed when we got our dog, he has got very long dark hair and sheds it all over the house which didn't look good all over my cream carpets! The old hoover was fine up until then, so I decided to get a new one which was from argos and said 'great for pets' which cost around £80 which I thought was very expensive at the time so bought it regardless. This hoover still didn't pick up the hairs. I'd given up by this point and was saving up for laminate flooring as I thought if a hoover which was made for pets didnt work then what would but luckily for me my friend was moving away and getting rid of everything including her dyson DC15 so she give me it.

I'd heard of dysons but didn't know anyone who owned one so didn't know what to expect. When she brought it to me I was abit shocked by the size, it is very large and as I'm only 5ft that was a problem but it was easy to wheel around the floor so it wasn't too bad,until I tried getting it up the stairs. It isn't much smaller than me so when I did manage to lift it from the floor as it is very heavy it bounced off every step on the way up so now my partner has to carry it up and back down for me or else I'll end up falling down with it one day.

The dyson DC15 is grey and yellow and the compartment where it keeps everything is clear so it is easy to see when it needs emptying. It has little holders on it to keep the attachments which is fantastic as you can't loose them.

When using this hoover it really is amazing though, it sucks up everything in seconds, after only hoovering my front room it was full and had to be emptied because there was so many dog hairs stuck in the carpet which my old hoover could never pick up. Best of all now you can see my cream carpets and not black fur everywhere.

The lead for it is very long so you don't have to keep unplugging it to get to other places further away. Due to all the attachments you can hoover in the smallest gaps you can find with ease. The hoover is very easy to move around and doesnt drag on the carpet or anything. There are no messy bags to empty which cost extra money so once you've bought the hoover there are no more money needs for it (and it also saves you electricity bills as now I don't need to hoover daily too)

This really is the best hoover I have ever used although the price is steep I now Know it is worth it, as they last such a long time and work brilliently. I now recommend this hoover to everyone and alot of my family have purchased it and also love it. It is now available from argos for £220 which is a good price and it is worth the money.

Summary: Fantastic hoover, worth the price
