My ancient Algy vacuum cleaner (although it was bought for 600 bucks 18 years ago and it was not cheap) as hard as this dyson, so I'm not surprised by its power. But there have never been problems with closing the dust collector, and I could safely entrust the children with cleaning the apartment with its help. But with the dyson, the situation is different - I have to follow it myself, otherwise all the garbage wakes up on the floor. I also didn’t like the quality of the plastic from which the Dyson vacuum cleaner is made - it is soft and dents and scratches remain on it very easily. Specifically, on the nozzles and on the telescopic tube (with any clinging to furniture, scratches remain on them). I also have a vertical V8 Absolute - I'm 100% satisfied with it. But this vacuum cleaner disappointed me and I will not advise anyone to buy it. Yes, and there is a desire to change to another. Sorry for the money paid.
