Ok, its expensive, but if like me you have a dog then this Dyson is the one for you.
I had never owned a Dyson vacuum with a ball before as always opted for the older fashioned type so it did take me a few tries to actually enjoy using this as its slightly tricky to begin with because it moves side to side which I wasn't used to.
This model is lightweight and easy to maneuver around the house, (once you get the hang of it!) which means its light enough for my 6 and 9 year old to also use!
You can vacuum right up to the edges of the room and it seems to pick up really well. This Dyson does have seriously strong suck and there are two options when vacuuming; either the brush rolls round or not which makes it good to use on different floor surfaces.
If you do happen to get a blockage (suck something up you perhaps shouldn't!) then the Dyson comes apart with ease in order to remove the blockage.
This Dyson is simple to empty and because it has no bag you can just empty the dust immediately into your household waste bin. There is a removable, washable filter which is simple to do.
This comes with 2 floor tools to use on the hose which also took a bit of getting used to as Dyson have changed the way this works but now I am used to it works really well.
I didn't realize exactly how good this model was compared to other Dyson products I own until I used my old Dyson to clean up and then went over it again with this one - wow!
