Fantastic for cleaning up after Kids (Young and old!) – Decided to upgrade after purchasing several other branded hand held stick vacs. Previous devices were great for the first few months but tended to loose suction and battery life after a short time. This dyson has been fantastic on both. Great continuous suction, long battery life, incredibly easy to move around furniture and simple to empty. Also love the attachments and variation. Suction and life of battery. After almost 2 years its still going strong! Love the fact it comes apart to clean almost all compartments The clip for easy release emptying is a little dodgy, locking and preventing "easy empties".
