I read all I could, good and bad, and settled on a Dyson v12, it was on sale, smaller sized, and we have 90% hard floor with a few low pile area rugs. The laser is awesome to see debris, and the carpet attachment sucks a lot out of the rugs. I'm impressed. That said, it's not anywhere near BIFL, it's all plastic and a few good drops would likely break something fairly quick. The filter needs cleaning way to often, which I don't know if that is the common defect I read about or our floors haven't been vacuumed properly before. Decided to give it a few weeks of use before reaching out to support.

tldr; awesome for cleaning the floor for a few years, but not BIFL.
