The vacuum works great but is it worth it? NO!!! It's incredibly heavy. I'm exhausted after using it. Give me a good old vacuum bag anytime rather than inhaling the dust that flies all over when you empty the canister. And, worst of all, I can never get the pieces back together again after dismantling the handle to use the extension attachment. If I had it to do over again, I'd keep my money and live with less suction power. Get more detail about Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner.
