Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have pets. That's why I bought this model. So I need the Max setting to get all the fur and dog hair. Unfortunately, on the max setting, the battery only lasted seven minutes. I can barely vacuum one room in seven minutes and, since I really take little pleasure in vacuuming, I like to do at least a few rooms at once (and get it over with). On the regular setting, it only lasts 20 minutes (although I haven't timed it on this setting yet). I called Dyson and after a 15 minutes with one representative, she disconnected me. so I called again and the second person at least had the courage to say that's just the way it is with this model; short battery life. Bottom line, only but this vacuum if you have a very small living area to vacuum or you like to take several days to do a one day chore!
