so I used to have an old Dyson and always feel like you should invest in a nice vacuum. This shark is amazing. Small and light weight. The suction power is amazing and so is the anti wrap brush. I know a ton of people said hair still wrapped around theirs, but I shed like a husky and no hair so far has wrapped around it. I've only had it for a couple of weeks but I am in love with this purchase. The only down side is the size of the dust cup. It could be a little bigger but no worries.
