I have had a dyson which i bought second hand on ebay 3 years ago. This was now past its useful economic life so i decided on the baby dyson as i have a 2 bed flat and this will fit nicely in a cupboard. The design and peformance of this dyson cannot be faulted! I would say that as it has a short 5m power cable and very small dust chamber that this would be suited to a small house of flat only. It looks and feels very premium, and the suction power is adequate!
