I have two one for each floor. I will get another for the basement tho.. I have the blue one and the purple one. I love them. Hose a bit wacky to use but bit oh boy does it suck up everything. The hose has powerful suction and unlike others that barely pick anything the dyson hose will pick up everything. I use it for stairs, upholstery but I do not recconend using it on the curtains !!! Way too much suction for that!! Careful with the corner of throw carpets and fringe its so powerful it sucks them bad boys up just by getting too close !! I LOVE my dyson. I love both and do not have preference over the blue or purple. Both are awesome!!
