I have wanted a Dyson ever since they first came out, but when I went to a store to look at them, it was so heavy I would need one for each level of my house and not enough closet space to store them.
This new one is under 12 pounds, fits easily in a closet, and is so light it’s very easy to carry up stairs. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of cleaning but being a female engineer I certainly appreciate well-designed products. This one has many clever features. The cleaning head is low-profile, so it easily hugs floor boards under kitchen cabinets (huge plus!). The ball design is incredibly inventive and so easy to use. It’s like the difference hauling a suitcase around that has weels that go in only one direction vs. the new ones with pivot wheels – makes SO much sense and doesn’t hurt my back to use it.
Cleaning power is great! It isn’t especially labelled for pet hair cleanup, but does a great job. I cleaned once with my old vacuum, then filled this Dyson up with a second run through. I was amazed at how much my old one didn’t pick up. A GREAT REVIEW
