I'm with Gottahaveahoover
I was given a new Dyson City a few weeks ago and the noise is Unbelievable, its hard to empty the bin and very dirty give me a good bag any-day the Filtration is appalling am I right in thinking that all of the dirt that bypasses the cyclone is going though the motor before it gets to the filter? and if you try and clean the dryer filter it just blocks. However, it does have one point I really like and that’s the hose detaches from the wand handle this makes it very easy to use with small attachments when cleaning stairs cars ECT. I would love to see this on a Miele. I was also given a G-Tec air ram and its really good at what it does, but I would not call it a vacuum cleaner its a very very good sweeper. As for The perfect Vacuum? am still looking but am coming to the conclusion that the nearest I have ever come to was a Hoover senior (Convertible) teamed with a Hoover dustette and a Lux in the kitchen / conservatory that i had 30 or more years ago
