I did weeks of research before finally investing in this Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner. (It is replacing our previous Dyson, which served us well for 15 years.) That first use is always mind-boggling, when you realize that you only *thought* your previous vacuum was doing its job. It was astounding.
As we've come to expect from Dyson, it comes with high-quality attachments that cover every possible need. Some are much easier to switch between than our old vacuum, which means I am using them more frequently. Especially appreciated is the smooth ability to use it in cars and on upholstery. Dyson excels at anticipating consumer needs and filling them.
The slide mechanism for clearing the canister is new to us and much appreciated, as I'm not a fan of having to manually remove the debris that did not just fall out, which was frequently the case with our previous Dyson.
As others have mentioned, we quickly quit paying any attention to the particle meter. Being able to switch between suction power modes is nice. I have tested and can typically vacuum the entire downstairs on Boost and then recharge to do upstairs. It should be noted that Boost mode WILL suck up lighter-weight rugs, or just become impossible to move across the surface. I switch to Auto for those or if I am finding it harder to push and pull the vacuum due to the stronger suction. Note that minimizing your use of Boost mode would also, presumably, extend the life of the battery.
We've found that this model excels at picking up fine dust particles and even better, not spitting them back out.
The green light has to be mentioned. I alternate between loving and hating it. It is supremely satisfying to use...on all but my 23-year old hardwood floors. Watching dust and debris vanish, and finding spots you have missed, is fun and cool. Realizing that your hardwood floors have embedded particles after years of washing and waxing is not. (It reminds of how I felt when using a blacklight on my carpet. Ewwww!) I understand now that I really need to put effort into the hardwood floors and remove the layers trapping the particles.
Another improvement with this model is that Dyson has taken steps to ensure that the bars of the vacuum no longer become entangled with hair, string, etc. This is a huge and much-needed improvement. It works!
The only negative I can find to report is that this model is heavy and given the design, the weight is concentrated near the handle. I was surprised to find myself with mildly sore shoulder, arm and hand muscles after my first-week vacuum spree. Now, I try to switch hands while vacuuming, but of course I prefer my dominant hand. This could be a consideration for some users.
Finally, it was disappointing to learn that Dyson only warrants this model for 2 years. I'm told this is due to the expected lifespan of the rechargeable battery, but an innovative company should be able to deliver longer lasting batteries. Especially at this price point.

AMAZING!
Vacuum works amazing! I am really happy with my purchase. I had the Dyson Outsize before upgrading to this one & I see a big difference. It is a bit pricey but I bought using affirm so it doesn’t hurt too bad. I highly recommend if you are a clean freak like I am; IT CLEANS AMAZING!
