People hate on them, but after reading others saying the same thing - convenience = more frequent cleaning, we bought one. Floors have never been this clean. It weighs nothing and isn't very loud, and it performs better than any corded I've used, which have all been cheap for the record.

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.
