This is a direct comparison to my old dyson v8 pet. I owned it for 4 years and that vacuum served me well. Ive been a loyal samsung user for 8+ years and this is my first shot at their vacuum. 

-Feels more sturdy and firm. 
-looks 100 times better. That awful purple wasnot my faborite.
- suction is good and consistent.
-battery life: TBD

I've only owned it for 3 weeks and I'm please to say that its been better than the old vacuum.
