Got tired of lugging our old Dyson V10 Animal with a failing battery up and down the stairs to the basement, so decided to try an alternative for a downstairs vacuum. With so many options to choose, it basically came down to liking the color scheme on this one. When it was delivered, I charged it overnight and expected to be perfectly whelmed the next day. To my surprise, it's actually great, and possibly better than our old Dyson (not entirely unexpected with the age gap). Suction is powerful, easy to assemble, easy to empty, easy to charge, and the green lights on the front actually illuminate dust and pet hair really well! The trigger is on/off unlike the Dyson where you have to hold it the whole time. The LCD screen on the back includes touch screen buttons to change suction power as well as color coded battery bars. This new vacuum lasts like 5 times as long as our old V10 and at a quarter of the price, I'll be a lot less annoyed when it eventually goes down hill (we're on our second Dyson). I'm happy with our purchase, and the adjustable tube means it even gets short enough combined with the fairly light weight that my 2 year old can use it!
