This is the first time I purchased a vacuum I researched spoke to clients that had Dyson read forums YouTube demonstrations This had great reviews bla bla I cant use for more than a few minutes and it stop with a blockage the point where the stick goes into the barrel is small and right angled this creates a area for dust har fur ball a ball of any type to block it then it winds up until it stops I am so disappointed plus I feel like an idiot wasting my time reading misleading reviews that I honestly believed This would be great if you lived in an ivory tower where no grim could ever reach
