After almost 5 months of using this product I have to change my review. At first it worked great, but it seems that over time the suction power decreases, almost nothing collects, even at high speeds. I had to go back to sweeping and using an old corded vacuum. I constantly empty it and put in clean filters. I don't know what happened, but he's not working anywhere near the way he was when he first arrived. My old Dyson lived a long time but was expensive, now I think there might be a reason for the high cost. I have a Dyson vacuum that I really like. He was having problems and I thought I figured out what was going on and ordered the part for $60. The day after I ordered I realized it was something else and tried to cancel the order but was told I would have to wait (ended up 2 weeks) for it to be delivered and then email them email saying I need to return it. which i did and sent it back and still no refund (two more weeks and still no refund). I decided to try another cheaper brand and I really like this vacuum! It's lighter and much quieter. Emptying is a bit more difficult as I have dogs and the fur gets caught on the filter so I either have to reach out and pull out the fur or take out the filter (which is very easy) and empty. I have a small house so the battery doesn't run out even though I used the lowest suction power most of the time. The highest suction power is amazing and picks up heavier stuff like pieces of dog food. that my Dyson could never absorb. Very happy with my purchase.
