I always have dyson brand and have the last couple of times invested in cordless. Decided to return to corded again as the cordless only have a 3 year guarantee and both of my cordless have just broke a month all so after the guarantee runs out. Atm liking the new one takes about 20 minutes to figure out where everything goes but pretty easy to assemble. Not as heavy as ole cordless but stillquite heavy. Hopefully this will last long than 3years. Seems a little bit more plastic than I remember with the old corded but good sucking and easy to more about
