Sorry but I'll be the first to say I absolutely hate Dyson vacuums and most vacuums to be honest. I've never found one with a proper reel or a canister big enough to hold an entire house full of dirt. I live with four men in my house along with pets and if I tell you the canister was full before I left the LIVING ROOM. I've never been so shocked in my life, I literally vacuum almost every day, but it's clear that nothing happened to our old vacuum cleaner. Shark suction is insane and sticks are no exception.
