This is our fourth Dyson. We have a lot of pets and thought this would be a good vacuum. After 2 weeks of use, the Dyson stinks - as if the dirt container had to be cleaned. Also, the extension hose is difficult to reattach. The red button needs to be right in the middle for it to sit properly. It really isn't as easy as the other Dysons we've had. Another good vacuum cleaner.
