This is the second Dyson. The first one I took to an apartment 2 years ago - it still works like a clock. The battery has not dipped yet, although I use the vacuum cleaner almost daily - because of the cat. The impeccable work of the first dyson led to the purchase of the second - now to the country. I wanted to buy a newer model, but the prices there are completely unrealistic, so I took the same V8 - ideal for a house / apartment of about 100 m2.
