It is very powerful and well engineered, the power head is very good. It is more compact than my last dyson that I had for many years, so it fits in the cupboard better. There have been changes made over the years to the design and all good. Including...

excellent motorhead for lifting pile on carpets.good at swivelling around furniture,especially on hard floors.

suction not great on hard floors and often have to try different tools to pick up stray bits,which can be time consuming and awkward.very bulky to store and needs large cupboard to store in.

Dyson DC21

 

Very good suction Longer lead than I had expected.

Ugly. Heavy. No good instructions at all included with new machine. (Only in ?Japanese or double Dutch). Bushes mark velvet carpet but it can be vaccumed finally without brushes for smooth finish. Fairly noisy but they all are.
