I have been running a small house cleaning business for 5 years and have tried all kinds of different vacuums. A few of my clients have dyson vacuums and I am appalled they payed $500 dollars for this piece of junk. For starters its really heavy and hard to lug around so forget about trying to clean stairs with it. The attachments are a joke: the the hose isn't very flexible and doesn't stretch very far. I actually had the hose snap back on me once because I had stretched it too far (less than 2 feet mind you) and it hit me in the face! Also, its important to note that not being able to use the attatchments properly is a big problem for this vacuum since its enormous size makes it impossible to vacuum under most furniture meaning you will be using the attachments frequently. I also have a huge problem with bagless vacuums in general and this one is no better than any of the others I have tried. I found myself having to constantly empty the cannister which is time consuming and very gross since no matter how hard you try the dust goes everywhere which is a little counter-productive if you ask me. I was also not impressed by how it cleaned bare floors: it actually left scratches on some hard wood areas which is definitely not ok! I also found that the suction was overall pretty poor and didn't pick up everything regardless of type of surface. So if you love wasting money go ahead and buy a Dyson. If you like a vacuum that will last forever and actually work the way it should buy a Kenmore cannister vacuum for half the price.
