I was skeptical, but I'm glad I bit the bullet
By K. A. on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2014
I did my best to research this vacuum as much as I could before buying it, but I decided to just bite the bullet and buy it, and I am glad I did!! I'm a 25 year-old single young professional who doesn't hate cleaning nearly as much as other guys. If anything, I WANT my house to be spotless and reflect my personality for when I have company over.This Dyson has thoroughly impressed me with how well it cleans. Right after moving in I "cleaned" my entire apartment with my battery-powered Shark that claims to "pick up what your vacuum cleaner misses!" and then I went back over it with my Dyson....BIG difference!!! I did not realize how much dust and how many hairballs were in the carpet (makes me question if they even cleaned after the last tenant moved out!!).My biggest gripe is that the hose extension is very, VERY awkward to use, as it collapses inside the hose tube and bends at really weird angles. It's difficult to extend the hose without tipping over the vacuum. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but that is certainly something Dyson could improve.Unlike other users, I had no problems assembling this vacuum. This is the first time in my life I've done so, and it maybe took 20 minutes? The most time consuming part was connecting the brush head, but I eventually watched the official Dyson video and figured it out. I like how sleek this vacuum and agile this vacuum is. It is slightly heavier and not as "low center-of-gravity" as Dyson claims, but it'll help me to workout I suppose!! The cord length is adequate, but I suppose it could be longer. I have an 1100 sqft apartment and my largest room is a living/dining room that is about 30ft wide at the longest. I do not like having to un-plug the cord each time, but I guess that's just part of life.I've only had this a week and can't think of anything else, but will update my review if anything pertinent pops up. As usual, Amazon's shipping was bloody amazing ---- this product (along with a few others) was ordered at 8:30PM on a Tuesday night and I had it at my doorstop, very properly packaged and punctually delivered. It still amazes me how fast amazon can deliver something, and that's what keeps me coming back for more!! (Granted, having Amazon Prime helps a lot!!)

I loved it until I used it
By Amazon Junkie on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015
It was only a matter of time before I bought a Dyson. I have heard so much advertising claiming how great this vacuum cleaner is and how it doesn't lose suction (not that I ever had an issue with that before) and it looked so cool. As soon as it arrived I put it together and started to vacuum my carpet...Man was I so disappointed. The vacuum was not able to pick up majority of the debris on the carpet. I then used it on my wood floors and it was even worse because it seemed like it pushed the larger pieces of debris around instead of picking it up. I really think it has to do with the automatic brush height since you can't manually adjust it which makes picking up items like tiny little pieces of paper (from a hole punch) that my old vacuum would suck down in a second almost impossible for the Dyson. This by far is the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. I actually started looking around the web to make sure I didn't have a defective machine but I wasn't the only one. Now I know why Consumer Reports rated all the Dyson machines so low. I guess I better look for another brand since this one is going back.
