Kicking my frustrating Dyson to the curb! I used the Shark the day it was delivered and I had to empty the canister TWICE. Keep in mind that we vacuum every single day around here, so evidently, there was a lot being missed. The light on the front did a great job illuminating hidden corners. Also, the lift-away mode was so easy to use! I was able to get underneath our couches, dressers and even our low profile bed.
