I have had this vacuum for about a month now. I purchased this based on the reviews. While I think this vacuum is good, I think there are improvements that need to be made. First and foremost, the cord is WAY too short. Having a Dyson previously and knowing the benefit of a longer cord, this cord is at least 10 feet shorter. It is good for one room decent size room but not more than that. Secondly, The cord comes out at the bottom of the vacuum and points towards the ground so you are constantly picking up the cord and holding it. Final improvement I would recommend at this point would be that you cannot detach the canister and still use the floor piece. As soon as you detach it you lose power to the other pieces. The positives are the suction and the ability to use the canister for hard to reach spaces. Would I buy this vacuum again? I am still up in the air on that one. I really like my Dyson products and decided after 20 years to make a change, jury is still out.
