what kind of floors do you have?

if bare or very low pile carpet (like, berber might be pushing it kinda low-low) this little guy is pretty nice. very maneuverable and lightweight, the quick-detach head thing gets regular use, super easy to dump it in the trash. it cleans better if you dump it after every room, but when I'm feeling lazy, I'll do the whole house in one go and it's fine.

the reviews mention it doesn't do carpet well at all which I totally believe, there's some berber in one area that it struggles to clean, but I can drag the shopvac to the berber when it really needs it

are you handy? there might be after-market parts for your Dyson
