Pros
Sort
-
Reviewers consistently praise the vacuum’s strong suction, describing it as potent, extremely powerful, and able to pull dirt, dust, and even carpet upward.
-
Overall opinion is strongly positive across most reviews, though the higher-level praise sits alongside repeated caveats about weight and large debris.
-
Ease of use is a broad strength across reviews, though it coexists with canister handling and weight caveats.
-
Versatility is a clear strength, with reviewers praising all-floor use, attachment swaps, hose-and-tool cleaning, and broad household-surface coverage.
-
Emptying is praised for pushing debris out, reducing mess, and allowing longer cleaning before trash-emptying becomes a concern.
-
Handling is generally strong, with praise for gliding, turning, following, and flat head movement, but canister drag and small hallways create a learning curve.
-
Fine debris pickup on hard floors is consistently strong for sugar, kitty litter, flour, rice, and ordinary dust.
-
Comparative performance is very strong in the reviews, including better carpet dirt removal than typical vacuums and pet-hair performance comparable to top uprights.
-
Cord management is a strength, with reviewers liking the retractable cord and describing it as effortless or a favorite feature.
-
Reviewers like the self-righting and anti-topple behavior, and one owner also found the vacuum easy to fit into a small closet.
-
Tool changes are repeatedly described as fast and simple, with parts snapping apart or into position with very little effort.
-
Maintenance is generally light and straightforward, helped by washable filters and removable components.
-
Under-furniture cleaning is a strength thanks to the low-clearance head, articulating handle, and nearly flat cleaning position.
-
Included tools are seen as useful, especially for moving between messes, stairs, and specialty cleaning tasks, though the evidence is stronger for usefulness than variety.
-
Build quality is strongly praised, with reviewers calling it top-notch and comparable to other well-built Dysons.
-
Low-pile carpet pickup is excellent in the scored reviews, with near-perfect test results and praise for easy pickup.
-
Cord length is praised because it supports multi-room cleaning and is called a favorite feature by one owner.
-
Carpet hair pickup is excellent, with one lab result above 98% and an owner saying it handled dog hair flawlessly.
-
Innovation evidence centers on the self-righting and hassle-reducing design, which reviewers frame as clever and efficient.
-
Ownership-cost evidence is favorable because reviewers emphasize the washable lifetime filter and corded design that avoids battery replacement.
-
Pet-related evidence is very positive: reviewers say it handles pet hair and broader pet messes well, with one review explicitly recommending it for pet owners.
-
Runtime is a non-issue in the positive evidence because reviewers treat the corded design as letting users clean as long as needed.
-
The dust bin is viewed positively for its debris-pushing design, larger usable capacity, and convenient 1.6L size.
-
Design impressions are positive, with reviewers calling it sleek enough for a modern home and one of the coolest vacuums they had seen.
-
Filtration and dust containment receive positive but limited support through praise for the washable lifetime filter, hypoallergenic framing, and dirt-ejecting design.
-
Crevice and corner pickup receives positive owner feedback, mainly because the vacuum’s power improved performance in corners and crevices.
-
Cyclone performance is praised in one review for improving airflow and capturing fine dust very well.
-
Hose/reach feedback is positive but limited, with one lab review impressed by the reach of just over 33 feet.
-
Low-profile design is praised because the head can get under furniture more easily.
-
Noise feedback is limited but positive, with one reviewer surprised by how quiet the vacuum sounded during use.
-
Stair-cleaning evidence is limited but positive, centered on the stair tool being easy to attach and push along stair surfaces.
-
Above-floor cleaning is positive, with the extension arm praised for reaching vaulted ceilings and higher dust without difficulty.
-
Value is mixed-positive: reviewers often say performance justifies the price, while still repeatedly noting that Dyson pricing is high.
-
Longevity evidence is limited to one owner connecting likely durability to an older Dyson that was still working after seven years.
-
Heavy-duty suitability is supported mainly by one reviewer saying the vacuum works well for large spaces and offices.
-
The floorhead earns praise for self-adjustment and roller-speed control, but several reviews say the main head struggles with larger debris.
-
Hair-removal channel evidence is limited but positive, with the owner describing excess hair removal as easy.
-
Attachment surface safety is supported by one reviewer using distance and airflow to clean delicate fabric without pulling on it.
Cons
Sort
-
Large debris intake on hard floors is the clearest weakness, with cereal and other thick debris repeatedly pushed, missed, or requiring direct hose use.
-
Weight is a consistent drawback, with reviewers calling it heavy and potentially too much for children or older users to carry.
-
Area rug handling is weak for thick small rugs, where suction can lift the rug and the release feature may not help enough.
-
The handle trigger and suction controls help surface transitions, but one reviewer disliked needing to hold the trigger continuously.
-
Edge and baseboard cleaning is only average to slightly above average, with one test noting it did not remove all edge debris.
-
High-pile carpet pickup is mostly good for smaller debris, but cereal remains a recurring limitation.
-
Debris-prevention evidence is mixed: one lab review criticized larger debris pickup, while an owner said the vacuum rarely clogged.
-
Small-space suitability is split: articulation helps tight spaces, but a canister layout can be problematic in a narrow hallway.
