Of course, if you're willing to spend even more than that, there's also the Dyson Gen5outsize, which differs slightly from the standard Gen5detect by featuring an enlarged dustbin and a wider cleaning head. They are often lighter to handle, are more manoeuvrable, have better balance when you are using them on stairways and are slightly less noisy as well. These are best suited for getting to those hard to reach places like doorframes as well as cleaning up dust from hard surfaces or removing pet hair from the sofa.

Suction is fantastic, my cats are shedding fur/cat hair as it’s summer time, used my good old Henry for years through out the house, standing on stairs pipe in one hand hoover in other, being mindful of the cable then unplugging from downstairs as can only hoover a few steps, no more struggling to carry hoover up and down stairs.

While the distribution of the appliance's weight has something to do with this, the triggered power certainly doesn't hurt.

With a trigger, you only use the vacuum when you're approaching debris, rather than it running continuously while you move furniture or go to a different location, thereby preserving battery life. Compared to the higher-end Dyson V15 Detect, it has a less powerful 150AW suction motor, so it falls slightly behind in deep cleaning performance. It's also worth remembering that having multiple accessories can be more of a hindrance than a help, especially when storing them, which is another reason not to splash out on a model with expensive extras unless you're sure you need them. At least emptying the bin is quick and easy, with a convenient sliding mechanism opening the lid and letting the dirt drop out freely into a rubbish bag.The fibers sit close enough together to trap debris, but they're also fine enough that they release the debris so that the suction can carry it to the bin. This feature combined with the lightweight design makes it the best cordless vacuum for the elderly. The motor inside the cleaner head drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpets to suck up fine dust and ground-in dirt.

Tangle free turbines: Designed to handle carpets and upholstery with large amounts of hair deposits. Beyond the typical combination and crevice tools, the mini motorised tool does a fantastic job on sofas and in the car, effectively picking up dust that has had the chance to settle. However, the Dyson V6FLEXI’s trigger releases instantly, so the battery is only being used when you’re cleaning – it’s on when you need it and off when you don’t. Dyson bundles its more expensive variants with additional attachments like a flexible adapter and a 'Worktop' tool for cleaning hard surfaces like counters or work tables. With that, and not with a simple one-button press, you’re only draining the battery as and when you need to, even if it is a touch sensitive.Its uniquely designed pivoting floorhead allows you to maneuver around obstacles like table legs and coat racks easily.
