Can't believe how much dust it collects! – Of all the vacuums I've used, Dyson is the best brand by far at picking up fine dust and hair/fur. When you first use a Dyson in your house, you can fill the catcher for every room!

It is heavier than most barrel vacuums and that can make it difficult to maneuver. However, it is very easy to use, easy to clean, sturdy and comes with numerous attachments. It also stores reasonably compact. Unbelievably good suction, easy to clean filter and easy to empty catcher. Heavy, not easy to maneuver, hose twists easily and catcher not big enough.
