I've never used a Dyson but I can't afford it even on sale! I have 2 other B&D hand vacs on each floor of my house so my kids clean up after themselves. I bought this vacuum because I'm tired of the central vacuum setup and weight. Make no mistake this vacuum can't beat a central vacuum but it's light and easy.
Battery life mattered most as it takes 40 minutes and this lasts exactly that! It depletes just as I finish the last corner.
Easy to clean the canister and the brush head.
The negatives is that the brush head is very light. I prefer some weight to keep the head aligned in the direction I'm pushing it. This head flip flops side to side when going under furniture.
The battery and ease of use made it worth buying.
Update July 2024. The carpet/floor sensor doesn't work well. Battery life has fallen by a few minutes. I don't care for the sensor as I use the floor mode first then the carpet mode. This method seems to conserve power.
