NV501 converts Dyson and Oreck owners who fill the cup with grit from carpet they just vacuumed the night before. Lift-Away, front headlights, and a two-end dust cup make stairs and lamp shades faster than with most uprights. The brush roll is now permanent and needs scissors to clear, the body tips when you stretch the hose in upright mode, and there is no cord rewind.
Loved by buyers

Buyer concerns
- •brush roll no longer pops out for cleaning, so wrapped hair and string need scissors
- •body tips when the stiff hose pulls too far away in upright mode
- •canister is bulky enough to block low furniture without attaching the wand nozzle first
