First impressions: this thing is light, effective and just a whole ton more easy to use than any vacuum cleaner that I've used before. The ‘Stick vacuum’ setup was entirely new to me and seems a little odd: all of the mechanism of the vacuum cleaner (including the dirt container) has been moved into the handpiece/handle thing. When you use it, you're effectively holding the entire vacuum cleaner up in the air and waving the suction wand around. This turns out to be a great solution: the wand is now light and nimble. Anyone who has used a cassette vacuum cleaner (ie. wand-and-box) knows how this feels, but in this case there's no box to heave around either. The other startling difference is NO CABLE. It's battery powered, so you stop battling with the flex, moving sockets, running over the cord, etc, etc. I can't tell you how much simpler it is to pull out the vacuum and clean - as a consequence I have a cleaner floor, because it doesn't take as much mess to make me take it out.
There are downsides to these features: mainly battery life and the fact that the hand-piece is pretty heavy - these are linked issues. This model (V8 Animal) has a slightly bigger battery than my parents V7 Motorhead so it runs for 40min on a charge (V7 does 30mins). That's enough to clean 2-3 rooms of our pretty small house, but it just shuts off dead when it's done and charging takes a long while (like, three hours). Consequently, the hand-piece is heavier than my parents and I find my wrist is pretty tired and a little sore after a half-hour: I'm a mid-forties guy, my wrists are in pretty decent shape! I wouldn't think older folk would be happy with the weight and I'd say go for the smaller model or consider a more traditional design.
The other worry is battery lifespan: I'm quite sure that this lithium battery isn't going to last 20 years like our last cleaner and you're looking at $50-$100 to replace the battery IF they still sell it when it dies. And while you get there, the battery life will get shorter and shorter. It's a worry.
The enduring impression is of something well-built and well-designed. Everything clicks together positively and all the attachments are sturdy. I'm an ex-engineer and I get the impression that they haven't skimped on material quality and things like the thickness of plastic walls, so I'm expecting it to last ok.
The bagless design seems like a huge win (no need to buy and toss bags, no decrease in suction) but it comes with two big inherent compromises:
1. There's nothing to contain the dust and dirt when you decide to empty it (naturally). So as it clunks open (it's a fairly dramatic mechanism) I find it creates a pretty disgusting cloud of airborne dust and grossness. You shouldn't do it indoors as it undoes the good work you just did. Even outdoors I find myself breathing in nasty-tasting mystery particles.
2. Be very careful around water. When you suck a bit of water, the cyclone thing smears the water all over the inside of the transparent cartridge, and dust starts sticking and clumping. Again, if there was a bag - no problem - but now, if (when) you let it dry, you'll have to manually scrape the stuck-on residue from the cartridge. And because it's transparent the pretty clean sci-fi looking cartridge now has yucky brown crud stuck to the inside. It’s impossible to completely clean it.
This cleaner isn't the most powerful vacuum cleaner you ever used, but it's obvious that they've tried to balance the issues of weight and power to make it work well enough. We have a dog, so it's not an easy job cleaning our family room and it does just fine.
On balance, the pluses easily outweigh the negatives. Our house is cleaner and vacuuming has gone from sweaty, fussy work to a grab-the-Dyson-and-swish kind of vibe.

Happy that people found my review helpful: just thought I'd give a perspective after 4 years: the battery is still running surprisingly strong. I can't say I've noticed a big decline so far, but when Lithium Ion batteries go, they go, so - still a worry. It's weathered a decent amount of usage, still battling dog fur without anything breaking so far. On my recommendation, a friend of mine bought the same and the power 'trigger' broke after approx 3 years, which wasn't great. I think they had trouble repairing it, but that could happen with any device, I guess.
I was impressed with the suction power (the amount of dust I pulled up from the Moroccan rug was disgusting but in a good way when you're talking in vacuum terms), it is really lightweight for me (I'm a 5'6" 125 lb woman in her mid 30's), and it's pretty quiet for a vacuum this small and mighty. Plus I love that it's cordless! For me, the 40 minutes of time is fine bc we have a smaller house, but I could see how that might be a problem for those with bigger jobs. I will provide an update after a few months, but my first impression is how did I ever do without this thing? I had a Miele stick vacuum which was soooo heavy and, according to my housekeeper, didn't work well. I feel like this product is perfect for me and my use and it's so light and easy to use it makes me want to vacuum daily...is that weird ;) it is pricey, so maybe try going for an older model as I don't think there is necessarily a huge difference.
For me, this was worth the investment because of ease of use, weight, cord free, works really well, I'm getting a dog soon too so this model I've heard is great for pet hair. I'm impressed and if it reallly does it's job for many years, I will not hesitate to buy another Dyson in the future. It's not cheap, but I do believe in this case you get what you pay for. I'm a stickler for things like good design and ease of use, and this fits the bill perfectly. I don't even mind that you have to hold the on button to activate it because it probably saves the battery and it's not really a hard/sticky button to keep pushed down. Buy it, you won't regret it, and you'll save because you won't have to replace your vacuum that may have been cheaper but broke a year later...

Er saugt Problemlos das Katzenstreu auf. Die Tierhaare machen ihm auch kein Problem.
Die extrem langen Haare meiner Frau schluckt er auch Problemlos, ohne das sie sich
in der Bürste verfangen.
Der Akku hält für unsere 90m² Problemlos, nur das Laden dauert ewig. Da ich gerne
2 mal am Tag sauge eher ein Minuspunkt, aber der Akku hält, noch, trotzdem eine zweite Runde durch.
Er ist sehr gelenkig und leicht zu reinigen.
Er ist sehr schwer und drückt mir auf den Gelenkknochen am Daumen. Klar wird man dies gewohnt mit der Zeit, das liegt aber nur daran das man den Sauger immer gleich angreifen muss.
Warum? Weil der Sauger-Start Knopf nicht einrastet. Er muss immer mit dem Finger gedrückt werden....
Und das in der heutigen Zeit ^.-
Die erste Saugstufe ist laut. Aber Stufe 2? oO Na holla. Da startet ein Jet....
Der Bürstenkopf ist so groß das er nicht mal 5 mm unter der Couch Sauber machen kann...
Man sieht den Dreck aber er geht ned weg.
Die Couch mit dem mitgeliefertem Zubehör zu saugen ist ein Qual. Will man zwischen den Polstern saugen
entsteht zu wenig Saugleistung. Somit schaltet sich das Gerät ab.
Die Kabelführung der Wandhalterung ist ok. Aber nicht verständlich. Warum muss ich 20 mal eine Biegung machen um dann erst nur nach unten das Kabel abzuführen?
Ich bräuchte das Kabel nach Links raus. Nicht nach unten.
Alles in allem ist er in Ordnung. Aber das Geld nicht wert. Mal sehen ob er 2 Jahre übersteht.
C est très désagréable, alors que cet appareil à le mérite d être pratique en état.
Je pense que vous pourrez résoudre ce soucis.
