I like how it works on floors, but I do not like how it works on carpets with thicker pile. It will stop turning and does not glide smoothly over the carpet. This is my second Dyson the first one worked better on the carpets. I cannot find any suggestions on any of the websites or what was included in the packaging. I think that could be better and be more helpful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this because my V-6 broke. I hesitated because of the price but decided to buy it anyway since I needed a new one and I’m so glad I did it’s a great improvement. I use it all over the house for a quick and thorough pickup. It picks up the smallest crumb. I really like this vacuum. I’m not sorry I bought it.
This vacuum immediately showed the shortcomings of my older Dyson. A second pass was performed after the initial pass with he older vacuum and twice as much dirt, fine particles, and hair was removed. The unit is easy to assemble and operate. Lightweight and accesses tight areas fine including underneath low profile furniture. Runtime is adequate though charging from a low battery can take several hours so you may need to plan out your patterns/schedule depending on the areas to be cleaned. You might have to alter your grip a little to make it comfortable when using but that is my only critique. A great product!
my favorite all time vacuum...love the light feature where you actually see the dust on the floor....I never imagined i had that must dust on regular basis as you can't see with the naked eye. I must have a leak somewhere which this vacuum has encouraged me to have our windows, doors checked for leakage.
I had the slim version of this vacuum prior to purchasing. I loved the slim but was unable to order replacement parts (not happy with Dyson about that but they do have a good vacuum). I thought I was just ordering a bigger version of the slim but there are some major differences I didn’t realize. This vacuum has a trigger pull instead of an on button. You literally have to hold the trigger the whole time you vacuum. I actually got a blister the first time I used it and now have a callus. To me that’s a down grade. The slim has button you push to turn on and off and it stays on until you decide to turn it off. Also the motorhead with the laser on the slim you can turn the laser on and off. On this one you can not turn the laser off. The laser is nice but I don’t like it on all the time (it can drive a person mad to see all the dust 🙈). One other thing is the weight. I didn’t realize how light the slim was until I picked it up offer using this new vacuum. The slim feels like a toothpick compared to this one. If I had to do it over again I’m not sure I would have purchased this vacuum. I either would have just replaced the slim with another slim or bought a newer version that has the button to turn on and off. This is still a good vacuum. It does a good job but in my opinion it is a downgrade from the slim.
