This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The Dyson is one amazing piece of quality. Few products are built with this much consideration and design integrity.

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads with Señor Dyson describing his passion for redesigning the vac so that it doesn’t loose suction as the dirt gathers — that it doesn’t use bags. All that is true, but the beauty doesn’t stop there. All the pieces snap together with ease. The handle retracts from the body and extends out so that the tip takes the attachments or offers full suction w/out the attachment, and with plenty of reach as the base of the handle is the extention hose. The other day, I accidently sucked up a sock. I was able to simply detatch the extension hose at the base of the handle to pull the sock through. The front end of the vac extends nicely to reach just under the couch. It’s not as loud as other vaccuums I’ve used. Perhaps the best part of the vac is it’s pure suction power and the immediate feeling of satisfaction when you see junk pile up inside the transparent canister. It’s glorious. Oh, and disposing of the junk is a sinch. Simply press the button to pull the canister from the base, then walk to your nearest garbage, hold the canister over the garbage bag and press another button to drop the bottom out, dumping all that nasty goodness — freeing your home of dirt once and for all… until next week.

If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
