The big Dyson has some worthwhile improvements over its smaller brothers while retaining the improved root-cyclone system of the DC14. Hose system is like other Dysons, but swivel powerhead and "ball" wheel are unusual and make vacuum somewhat more manueverable around turns. But vac is heavy, somewhat "flashy" (some wand adjustments are not obvious without practice), and its dirt chamber center can become overfilled with fine dust without you knowing until the final filters plug up.
This vacuum is one of the most discussed/debated/whatever vacs at WTBV. Be sure to check out the many threads related to it!
Pros
Cons
bagless cyclones (no pleated filter to plug) unique steering action around turns more aggressive powerhead than other dysons electric switch for powerhead long hose washable filters
Powerbrush very loud in some samples heavy; can be tiring if pushed a lot somewhat clunky plastic parking stand can be overloaded by fine dust
