Advantages: Lightweight.

Disadvantages: Difficult to use. Not good for larger houses.

I've used Dyson hoovers for years, and have always been impressed, however this is the first time a Dyson has left me disappointed.

Firstly, this Dyson is significantly smaller than others, and when purchasing online it's not immediately obvious that this is the case. It's great for small houses, and for older people who need a lighter hoover, but for larger houses with families it fills up ridiculously quickly.

Secondly, Dyson are well known for being the people that make hoovers with GOOD suction. Sadly this one does not live up to the reputation. And it gets worse if it's full. The anti-allergy one has amazing suction, and having used that, this one seems pitiful in comparison. It's good for light cleaning, but not the heavy duty cleaning necessary in a four person house with a dog to contend with too!

The ball is handy as it does make the hoover good for getting around furniture, however it's difficult to maneuver and takes a lot of getting used to, and the suction pipe does just as good a job as this vacuum does!

Summary: Good for smaller houses without pets, but not for houses that require heavy duty cleaning!
