bought this for my second home.  i already own a dyson v10 and loved it.   was hoping this would be as good, and am happy to say it is.  comparing to dyson v10:
+  slightly more quiet. 
+  more maneuverable.
+ metal feels more substantial

- dyson point and shoot is better for dumping bin.
- dyson has better battery life.  i can only get about 20min on mid suction.  about 10 on high.  just dies too quickly.  only negative.
- free stand is great and comes with a wall hook to keep it in place.  but the hook does not take into account the wall's baseboard and so the hook is that much short.  if you dont use the hook, then it is wobbly.  if you use it, then it make stand to stilt up and puts stress on it.

overall great product.
