It's hard enough keeping up with all of the stuff I am interested in. Truly makes you wonder how tough it would be to click on everything you're NOT interested in.
The whole ordeal is putting me off buying a Dyson. Might get the Samsung instead.

It did work in that it charged, ran for a while, vacuumed up junk, etc, for over a year. But the whole time we had it I was unimpressed, and the small things add up. Here are my complaints:
- You have to hold down the power button the whole time you're vacuuming. This is just dumb design and my wife and kids didn't like it.
- I was the only one in the house who could use the attachments. The connection between parts are very tight and it's not easy to disconnect pieces. And the plastic pieces that kept the vacuum together all broke on mine, so we had to tape the shaft to the canister/motor to keep it together. Tape together a vacuum? That's ridiculous.
- Emptying the canister was difficult and my oldest son and I were the only ones who could do it. You have to shove down on this plastic red thing to get the canister to open, and that shoving is what opens the trap. It seems like there's no spring involved and it was a tight fit that was difficult to open. Again, dumb design.
- The vacuum clogs easily and I was constantly unclogging it. Also if the filter isn't almost perfectly clean, the vacuum would give us a filter error mode thing and it wouldn't work. I was always doing dirt surgery to clean out the thing. If it has such a strong motor, why can't they design the thing so dirt flows easily into the canister? Another dumb design issue.
- Finally the brush roller thing stopped working on my vacuum and I happily threw the motor into the garbage. I wasn't at all sad when I threw the motor away, that's how much I hated that vacuum.
I had the V10. We've since bought a less expensive Shark stick vacuum from Walmart and so far it's been much easier to use and doesn't have most of the problems I listed above.I've had two vacuums (v6 and v7 roller fail) in last 5 years. I've had the V7 HEPA for 3 years and replaced the battery just now. Had to replace the battery with the in laws version too (2 years old). Once this fails, I'll be moving to another brand as there's much more competition now than when stick vacuums weren't as popular.
As for other products, we have the hair dryer and humidifier and both are good. But honestly, these are a bit overpriced for what they are (and they discontinued the humidifier anyways... it's such a PITA to clean especially if you live in area with hard water).
p.s. the whole attachments thing is a racket, imho. I have 4 different attachments, and living in a condo, I rarely use more than just the crevise tool regularly. I got the brush attachment (the one that rolls, and is made for pets), and use it couple times a year for the sofa (we don't have pets).

Pick one up, never seem a cheaper V10 before.
