OK, you need to understand one thing. This ain't no Dyson. As an owner of three or four high-end Dysons, I can easily compare the two brands, as long as your expectations are realistic, I think you'll be really happy with this product. It is, in some cases, maybe 1/10th the price of my most expensive Dysons and I would say it does more than 75 percent of the job. Honestly, I was surprised by its performance. It's very good. My budget pick for the best low-end unit would still be twice as much because it's not sold locally and Amazon US ships it. So, at the end of the day, you're much better off with this unit. It works equally well on hard floors and carpets. And judging by the amount of carpet fibers that end up in it, it does an amazing job. Having said that, you do get what you pay for, the body is very basic plastic, and overall the vacuum feels a bit flimsy. Just remember that this is very inexpensive. It's less than the cost of a meal at P. F. Chang's so you shouldn't complain, really. Overall, an excellent value. However, this review is just after a week of usage outside of the Middle East. Time will tell how long this will last. Will adjust the review accordingly.
