I bought this a couple of months ago. A bit disappointed in the battery life and suction. It’s ok for hardwood floors but struggles on carpet. If you want a Dyson, stick with corded vacuums. I would not recommend this cordless vacuum.

I got my first Dyson which is a V8 a month ago. Not happy because battery runs out after an hour even if it is fully charged. Not expecting this kind of performance with this brand!

I charge this and it only lasts maybe 20 minutes at a time. You have to hold the button the ENTIRE time your sweeping (never had a vacuum that did that). It won’t stand up on its own unless you drill the bracket into a wall to set it into. Very disappointed. The actual cleaning part does well but the other factors make it not great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I do like the performance and maneuverability of this machine. I hate the fact that I have to hold the power trigger all the time. And I also don’t like having to change the heads for carpet to wood floors.
