Coming from a dyson v6 that has seen its better days... the wife couldn't wait to turn it on. But the it arrived with a near dead battery obviously for safety during transport. In the 30 seconds it lasted it vacuumed a staggering amount of dirt on an area of carpet that was cleaned the evening before. After charging for an hour. The house got blitzed. We are impressed I love the aesthetics and its efficiency and looking at spare parts they are a reasonable price too in comparison to other brands. The ability to take in large debris without pushing them around is also a plus.
