I have to say first of all I hate housework ! I am 69 years old and was struggling carrying my Henry vacuum up the stairs with the leads tangling around my legs ! I suddenly thought why am I doing this so decided things must change ! I did my research and the Dyson V11 had good reviews . It has completely changed my life it’s amazing the suction power and all the tools means I can do my carpets and laminate without switching buttons . I’ve gone cleaning crazy , the car , the rugs ! I would recommend to anybody to get one sooner than later in life  I am even cleaning the cob webs off the ceiling !! Cordless is the future !!! Just add I have a golden doodle dog that doesn’t shed but believe me she leaves fur behind which I didn’t even realise Thank you Dyson
