Great powerful vacuum cleaner – Overall I am happy with my Dyson purchase. It cleans the house thoroughly, has a smaller vac attachment to do under the beds and good attachments for chairs and behind cupboards etc. Easy to clean and look after. I like upright vacuums for my back and this is no different. It is very easy to glide around the house. Easy to clean and bagless. Easy to maneuver around the house and doesn't hurt your back. Very powerful The cord isn't long enough and I have to use an extension cord to vacuum the whole house. The hose is quite hard to use, doesn't have a lot of flexibility- very stiff
