My husband broke our Dyson  and I needed a quick replacement. I’m going to be honest...I like this one better! The self propelled movement and sucking power are AWESOME. It picks up pet hair so well. The much lower price didn’t hurt either. Not that this makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of housework, but it’s also quite pleasant to look at. It’s a fun color and the polished “chrome” grill is reminiscent of a classic automobile.
