Dyson DC18 Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

It took a few days to get used to this new smaller Dyson, it was a bit heavier than I had expected and the new roller ball steering was quite difficult to suss how to use. BUT once I had cottoned on to just let the machine go where it wants instead of trying to fight the steering I found it absolutely brilliant!!!
The smaller slimmer head is SUPERB and gets under the furniture and into lots of places where previously I had to move stuff so is worth it's weight in gold for that alone! It's equally good on my hard kitchen floor.
It has a terrific suction (but then all Dyson's do) and this one has lost no power through being smaller. The dust cannister is small but lovely and easy to empty and I haven't filled it yet! I do tend to empty it every time it's used as I have 2 dogs so don't want a smelly vacumm!
My one and only gripe is that the power lead is slightly shorter than the bigger dysons so where I could hoover the whole bungalow from one socket I now have to unplug it and move it to another socket which is a shame for the sake of 12"!
All in all I think this is a great little vacumm and it comes with the dyson 5 year gaurantee (Their after sales is superb) It does exactly what you want a vacumm to do, pick up the dirt and keep your carpets looking nice!
