I bought the digital slim from target. It came with one brush roller head which Dyson said will scratch hardwood floors. My floors were just redone so I need a soft roller. I called Dyson 5x and each time got different and mostly incorrect info. They told me they had a soft roller attachment for floors. Then the $100+ attachment they said would work they said would NOT fit my model. I love the vacuum- it’s light and goes for an hour+ without recharging. I took a chance and before returning it, I ordered a soft roller head from Amazon that did not say it worked with the digital slim model - but it looked like it might work. It worked!!! It even has a light so you can see the dust on the floor. Dyson customer service and communication sucks, but I am happy with the product and the $34 soft roller head for wood floors that I bought online

I got one and did a deep dive into it after It’s a Costco specific model that builds on their smaller “lite” version of a vacuum and also comes with a wet floor cleaner head The vacuum works pretty good but it’s such a small dust bin

Used a Miele for years and was very happy with it. Then for some unknown reason, I switched to Shark. It was OK if I used a dustmop first on the hardwood floors. There was some kind of robot machine here for a while.....Then switched to cordless Dyson Submarine - what a piece of junk! Am now very happy with my new Miele - advertised as the one for dog hair. I Love this machine! House feels less dusty. And I WILL NEVER USE A BAGLESS MACHINE AGAIN! WHAT A FILTHY MESS!

My vacuum shit the bed a few months ago and I came here hoping for good recommendations- nope lol I ended up rage quitting and buying a Dyson at Costco and I love it. It’s also one of those with the mop head so I don’t have to drag out a big mop bucket. It works incredibly, seriously who tf can afford an $800 or something vacuum in this economy 😭

We have a German Shepherd Collie mix, and he sheds so much! We also had a white cat that shed a lot of visible hair. The hair becomes tumbleweeds on the floor. We purchased a robot vacuum that runs once a day, and we also have a Dyson with a special, fluffy brush designed to pick up pet hair. It's amazing! We also have a big lint roller brush that is not the plastic one, it's like velcro and picks up any fur on you or furniture. The dog sleeps on the bed with us, so I lint roll it once a day! If you have carpets, get a soapy bucket and rubber gloves and scrape the glove over the carpets or use a brush, it's amazing for getting rid of a lot of inbedded hair. Try that at least once a month. I hope this all helps you x

Don’t get the Dyson. It says it has detangler, but it doesn’t work. It’s heavy, and you have to painfully hold down the trigger the whole time. Not to mention expensive. I just clean the roller each time, using scissors to cut wound up fur. I did buy a robot vac and that works really well. It comes with a floor washer too. I love it and with two long fur cats, it runs everyday.

Dyson stick is terrible. Unwieldy and heavy and hard to empty because you have to take it apart. Buy a vacuum that is not designed by a man.

The Eureka 451 roller does not tangle from hair or fur. I hated the Dyson.

Heavy, hard to empty (you have to take off the pole) and you have to press the trigger constantly, stressing my hand. Men shouldn’t design vacuum cleaners.
