I love it. I have dragged it from Chicago to Southern California and back. It has a crack in the cannister handle, I am concerned it will break soon.... I have largely wood floors now, but that was not the case when I got it. When I first got the Dyson, I already had an Oreck which was easy and quick to use but I was ALWAYS out of bags. I also had three dogs, four (and more) cats, ferrets, snakes, turtles, bunnies, tarantulas.... all with their own mess (yes, there was a reason I called it the Moon Zoo!). What made it for me was completely vacuuming the house with my Oreck and then doing the same area immediately with the Dyson. I filled the Dyson TWICE! vacuuming two rooms. Its heavier, and harder to handle, but I LOVE it. I love the long
handle and I use it to clean my whole house - I don't usually dust anymore, I clean walls, ceilings, stairs, floors, chairs, sofas, and Bailey with the Dyson. I want a new one with a ball.... <br><br>Yes, there is a problem when you empty it - I carry it out to my big garbage can and put it inside, I close the top over my arm and then press the button - viola! no dust flying around the house or on me...<br><br>Heather at OEBE Chicagoland Regional Headquarters with <br>Pw.
