Very disappointed in the length of time you can vacuum with it in the max mode. Vacuum battery will only run for six minutes when using the max mode to vacuum carpet . With a fully charged battery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’ve had this Dyson cordless vac for a month or so. It is excellent! So powerful compared to the previous versions. I have a large white Labrador retriever who sheds terribly. I use the vac at least twice a day trying to keep up with the hair. I’m grateful to have it.
I bought this several weeks ago to see what all the hype was about. Sadly, this does not live up to my expectations. I’ve had several cordless vacuums and they all beat this one out by far - without the price tag. To start, there is no display - I cannot tell when the battery is low, when there could be a clog, or when it’s suggested to clean the filter. There’s no way to indicate the status of this machine. Next, there is no light for the floor attachment, which I’ve had on several other much cheaper vacuums. Not having a light was such a miss in this one. Another disappointment is the battery life. This doesn’t come with a spare back up battery, which I’ve had with several other brands of vacuum. Not only is the battery life short, but it also takes awhile to charge. All in all, I will be going back to other less expensive brands that have equal to better performance with all the added features this one lacks. Such a bummer!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
