• Storage footprint & upright-stand stability 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 17 reviews 3.8
  Most reviews assume dock or wall-mount storage as the primary way to park/charge the vacuum and keep tools organized. Storage works well if you can mount it, but it’s less ideal if you want a truly freestanding unit.
• Weight 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 13 reviews 3.7
  Weight is manageable for many, but longer sessions—especially above-floor work—can feel tiring, and the trigger grip can add to fatigue for some users.
• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 12 reviews 3.7

• Emptying & Mess Control 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 3.6

• Cyclone performance 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.6
  A few reviews call out Dyson’s cyclonic separation as part of its strong performance and suction consistency, but it’s not a dominant discussion topic compared to heads, sensors, and runtime.
