I recieved this dyson as a gift for my birthday two weeks ago, and I love it! Everything is perfect, I wasnt expecting it to be so strong and work so well. My previous vacuum would never get as much dust as this one does, and the quality of air in my house has never been this good. Many people complain about the weight of it, but considering that you're holding the entirety of the vacuum, I'd say something about 3kg is nothing to worry about. I highly recommend this vacuum compared to the other's on the market, I would actually say that others do not even hold a candle to this dyson!
