Dyson Lightball Multifloor Plus 291282-01

Great suction for wooden floors and heavy low pile rugs. Flimsy rugs get caught. Not able to get low enough to reach under bed and need to use extension tool. However, the hose continues to contract whilst in use this becomes frustrating. It is heavy to maneuver and cumbersome on the stairs, my dyson stick for them. This is my first upright. The dyson barrel vacuum was easier to maneuver.

Not happy

I have been using Dyson vacs both barrel & stick & would always recommend so when I wanted to upgrade I thought the upright would suit me as I’m getting older. I am so disappointed in the upright model I find it hard to maneuver, for me it is heavy & both my wrist & shoulders hurt when I use it. I get caught up in the cord & do not like the hose as all I do is drag the vac around when I try to use it. I really thought this would be a great choice & I did check out the reviews but I’m sorry I bought it but of course I can’t return so I’m stuck with it as I gave my old Dyson barrel vac to my daughter - she’s happy but I’m not.

Good for those who enjoy an upright vacuum

It actually does a great job on flat, thick, carpets. It's own weight pushes down on the carpet allowing it to pick up dirt that's been packed in there over the years. It also runs consistently along the carpet, even though its heavy, you only need to use a certain amount of energy. Navigating around corners is also not too bad for an upright. Overall it picks up more dirt than any other vacuum at record time. The cons however: My wife doesn't like this vacuum as its too heavy. Even in its transporting "mode" to move it around between rooms is very cumbersome and many times it keeps clicking out from the transport mode. Carrying it on the stairs even worse. I don't know what they were thinking when it came to the pipe extension. Almost 80% of the time when I use it, the vacuum falls over. Its difficult to use this unit to clean sofa's, car's and corners. I have not seen any other vacuum that has been able to match the carpet depth cleaning power up until we upgraded our cordless
