Bought this a month ago and am very happy with my purchase.  Following my first dyson animal I bought several years ago, I have never been interested in buying anything but dyson because of how they perform.  I love the stick vacuum, versatile and incredibly powerful suction.  The only slightly negative I have is you wouldn’t want the handheld to be any heavier and emptying the dust chamber seems somewhat sticky.  I will go over instructions again to assure I am pushing the correct buttons.  I also will be purchasing more attachments for it.
