We have a Dyson 14 also. I mostly really like it and think that the design is almost perfect, with some minor caveats like the power on/off is so big and placed in such an easy to hit spot, that sometimes when converting to wand use, I turn it off and on.
Seriously, I think that's my only complaint. Note that my house is all hardwood floors with a few carpet runners, and this Dyson was always rated better on hardwood floors than carpeting.
Not sure if I'd buy another, though. Consumer Reports lists that model 19th with many cheaper models as better rated.
Top rated are the Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition U6485-900 ($230) and then the Kenmore Progressive 35922 ($350).
