I haven't tried it platypussy no. I was simply lured in by the telly advert... I was hoping it would be bound to be easier to manoeuvre than my clunky old basic Dyson which gives me a hernia every time I carry it upstairs.
Maybe I need to try the roller one, take DH with me and get him to try it, then if we like it hopefully he might decide we definitely need one. He has a tendency to do that with gadgets...
