Pros & cons
Dyson Big Ball Multi Floor

- ✓250AW motor with 2-Tier Radial cyclones for sustained suction as the bin fills
- ✓12-inch turbine head cleaning path works across hard floors and carpet
- ✓5-year warranty, longer than most canister competitors
- ✓Telescopic wand and retractable cord for storage
- ✗Corded with a 21-foot cord — shorter reach than some rival canisters
- ✗17 lbs is heavy to carry between floors, even with the low center of gravity
