My husband bought this for me. As a senior I love the light weight and it does a super job picking up hair that accumulates from our golden retriever. We have mostly bare wood floors with a couple of scatter rugs and it does a great job for me. Only con is having to keep my finger on the switch to keep it running.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this as a gift from my daughter. She has an older model that I used at her house. Mine is even better. We have an old cat and need to clean everyday. It is easy and quick to do the clean up.

I can't believe how great this machine is, that something so lightweight is so powerful. It has made vacuuming a 3 level home a breeze.

Frustrating - battery life and other issues
on April 2, 2022
Posted by: Basketref
two stars instead of one as there are some good features...
1. strong suction
2. good ergonomics - I like the handle
3. Easy to maneuver
Now for the bad...
1. Battery life is substandard. 15 minutes at best before needing recharge
2. Easily clogs which bogs down performance dramatically and makes the engine run erratically
3. Here is the real biggie...the dirt compartment comes open all the time. So, vacuuming along and then look down and realize the work has been wasted as the dirt has flowed from the floor, thru the vacuum hose, into the dirt compartment and then back to the floor again.
It's so frustrating. I think it is appropriate this vacuum is called the Animal+ as its about as frustrating as stepping in animal waste.
Suggestion...engineer this machine so it won't start when the bottom dirt compartment is open....same as when the top part isn't latched in place. Maybe then this company can earn customers faith.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just got a Dyson, I thought they were a little pricey compared to others but 83% positive reviews won me over. This little compact machine is truly an animal on dirt and dust.

Excellent vacuum!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago after my other vacuum (not a Dyson) quit working after only having it for 1 year. This is my third Dyson and first cordless vacuum. I'm very impressed with how well it picks up the fur from our 2 cats and 1 dog from carpet and furniture. It works very well on our hardwood floors as well as the tile. It is very easy to swap the attachments and to use to get the cobwebs out of the corners of the ceiling. It fills up fairly quickly, but the dust container is easy to empty. I was skeptical about the length of time for the battery but I am able to vacuum our 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, hallway, living room and kitchen in addition to the basement stairs on one charge.
