I have spent $1500 on a vacuum (Kirby) which was heavy and bulky, and then ($1200) on a Rainbow. Again, heavy and bulky. Both just did not preform to my liking. Then in 2000 I moved to England and while living there, I bought a Dyson, not the Dyson Ball, back in 2000 they only had the single cyclone. And with just one cyclone I was highly impressed. I have spent over a thousand dollars twice on vacuums and nothing could beat my Dyson. I had to move back to America in 2008, and the one item I wanted to bring to America with me was my very much loved Dyson, but America runs on a different amps here, and would not run my English Vacuum. Once back, I bought a 5 cyclone upright Eureka. The vacuum never had a great suction power, and it was always getting clogged. After using it for 1 1/2 years, I broke down and bought the Dyson Ball!!! It's even better than my loved vacuum I had in England. This has excellent suction power, incredible actually, it also is very light weight, moves with ease and self adjust when I go over different floor types!! That is such a plus, I have 3 types of carpet in my house and also tile and wood flooring and this wonderful vacuum will adjust itself instead on my reaching down to turn a dial like my old vacuum.
So, I can not say enough about the Dyson Ball, it is worth any money you spend!!

Truly satisfied.....
I have had many vacuum cleaners in the past 30 years. Their performance does not even compare to the Dyson. Works well on tile, wood or carpet. This powerful vacuum easily maneuvers in the house and around furniture.

Does EVERYTHING
This is a phenomenal machine. It cleans our carpet and our hardwood floors perfectly. With the attachments, I am able to clean hard-to-reach places without difficulty. It is so easy to empty the container as well. I highly recommend this product.
