I would strongly advise against buying a Dyson. I bought one and it worked well for a year and then lost suction - even though the advertisement claimed that it never would. Dyson provided a major new part and again it worked well for a while but reverted to poor suction.
The small plastic parts - brushes, etc are also too easy to break. I think Dyson are only too aware of this because they are willing to replace even out of guarantee. However the machine is a boring liability and I now have a Miele which is much better designed, is more compact, works better and looks better.
Cheaper too!
The staff in the relevant John Lewis department said that Dyson uprights were OK but that the cylinders were rubbish. They recommended Miele
Advantages of Miele
It has 6 levels of suction, easily adjustable by a dial on the outside, the brushes fit inside the casing (convenient for storage), the main rod thingy onto which the brushes and turbo heads fit is telescopic and the colour is a tasteful matt dark blue..........
