Our Dyson is great fun to use, easy to operate and the attachments make reaching awkward corners simple. Never cease to be amazed at how much dust and hair can come out of our carpets when they look clean. Easy to empty, far less work than a conventional hoover with a dust bag. It's still very new so have not yet attempted to change filters but hopefully this will be as straightforward as operating it is. one thing i would change would be fitting a self return cable as i don't like winding it up and down... laziness and a sore back are my excuses. the Dyson is a lightweight hover with heavyweight power and i would happily recommend it.
