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!
