Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: I’ve had this vacuum for approx 6 months now. I’ve already had to send it in to Dyson for repair as it keeps pulsating on all settings when there is no clog and the motorized vacuum head stopped working. Also, even though they say clean the filter every few months, I’m having to take it out after almost every vacuum, or else the pulsating begins immediately. I’ve had to go back to using my stand up vacuum because I can’t vacuum with this. Even after getting it back from Dyson for repair, the pulsating continues. I’m VERY disappointed at spending that much money and not having it work. Not looking forward to having to send it back to Dyson. Wish I never purchased it. Original review: As a stay at home mother of 2, I was having a very hard time keeping up with vacuuming the house. We have a stand up style Dyson that is going on 8 years old. Dragging out that heafty appliance, I dreaded vacuuming as it took hours to do our two story house. Also being our home is mainly hardwoods, I was finding myself using the extension with the hard floor attachment almost exclusively. Not to mention, it’s loud and cumbersome. So, appalled at the price tag on the V10 animal, I hit the buy button anyway. But that is where buyer’s remorse ended. It has been a joy to vacuum! Such a major improvement from our older Dyson. It’s super light and not very loud in comparison, which is helpful when you need to clean up while you carry your sleeping baby around. (So far) I have not had any issues with holding a charge, and was able to vacuum my whole 2000 sq foot home on one charge, but I find myself doing a few rooms every other day instead because it’s just so quick and easy to get out, vacuum, and put away. I find low suction for hardwoods was adequate for my needs, and medium suction on the rugs and carpet gets SO MUCH debris out... I haven’t even needed max suction. There are a few things I wish Dyson would address to completely justify the price tag though. 1. My hard floor attachment from my older vacuum doesn’t fit the new design. Not a deal breaker because the motorized head does a great job with pet hair and dust bunnies. 2. Non removable battery. Why can’t dyson have a removable battery so you can have a back up if you run out of charge half way through cleaning. Also, not a huge deal if you vacuum in sections instead of the whole house at once. 3. The hanging dock only has 2 built in spots for other attachments. This specific one has 4 extra attachments... so I had to put the other 2 away in a cupboard (where I’ll probably forget I have them). Eh, it would be nice to have everything in one place. All in all, well worth the purchase. It has even enticed the hubby to vacuum on occasion without complaint. I’d call that a win.
