I loved loved loved loved loved my dyson. I have *always* hated vacuuming and with this toy tool, I would often volunteer to do that chore. There was a small issue with emptying the container, but because our kitchen garbage can was tall and thin, I could usually lower the container fairly low into the garbage bag and empty it with no problem and only a small amount of dust exploding. They are expensive vacuums, but they are such a fantastic investment because they're extremely easy to maintain, suck up an amazing amount of dirt and don't loose suction over time!
