The dyson 15 was a stretch for me to purchse. I have owned a variety of expensive vacuum cleaners because I have asthma. I has a Rainbow vacumm which uses water as a filter and it was one of the best cleaners I ever used. Dumping the water canister aftr every pick up was annoying. I purchased the Dyson 15 3 years ago. It has performed likeĀ champ since it's first day out of the box. The prices and availability have become more promising in the time that I have owned this vacuum. It works well on bare floors, with the power nozzle turned off. It picks up effortlessly on carpets and upholstry with the power head on. The ball makes it so easy to maneuver around furniture. It is actually fun to vacuum. The suction is tremendous, and cleaning the cup does not require getting your hands dirty. One click of the button on the fromt detaches the cup and a flip of the thumb opens the cup bottom for easy dumping. This vacuum is great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a grat product at a good value.
