I have been using the new Dyson gen5 outsize for the past week.  This is my 4th Dyson vacuum but first in several years.  The power and innovation in this new machine are incredible.  The battery run time and suction power make this a viable alternative to plug-in vacuums - I was able to do the whole house and still have plenty of charge remaining and only had to empty the canister once.  The canister empties thoroughly thanks to the way it slides down to push the dust out.  Despite its power the unit is super quiet when using the hardwood floor head.  The laser for seeing dust is addictive and the “scoreboard” showing how many particles were sucked up provides metrics for how well it’s working.  While it is large and a bit heavier, the features and added utility are definitely worth it.  Also, you can actually smell the HEPA filtered clean air as you vacuum!
