so we have been seeing how this compares to our big Dyson and for 95% of the work this is lighter and easier to use. There are some functions (attachments) to most vacuums that are better than this shark. However the speed, and ability to maneuver this vacuum should not be under appreciated especially for those that have to carry a vacuum up stairs or around multiple floors..this can be a hand saver and or a back saver for those issues

I love the slim profile because it was easy to find some closet space to put it up when not in use.
