Breaks down – I don't know how many times this has been back to dyson for repairs!the filter is so painful to clean & emptying the dust compartment is totally disgusting.The only thing it has going for it is the suction!Overall if you want to spend more time cleaning your vacuum as apposed to actually vacuuming go ahead.A real disappointment!!! Just wish I had $ to buy something else :( Good suction Bad warranty service,painful to clean filter & dirty to empty
