I’ve had this vacuum for about 3 weeks. I have always had Dysons. Well no more Dyson for me. This vacuum had better suction and a bigger dirt  cup then my old vacuum. The best part is the power switch......with Dyson I had to hold a “trigger button” with this Shark it’s a switch that I turn on and off. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it hurts to hold a trigger switch for vacuuming.
