I have one too (DC59). Parent it right, it is pretty amazing (no more "ugh have to get out the vacuum cleaner and plug it in, so much faff"). Only cons are:

* Bin is too small - you have to empty it a few times per clean which kind of sucks (unless you clean every other day or something). It also means the dust sometimes gets stuck in the bin and you have to pull it out. * Bin opening mechanism is a big unreliable.

Battery life and suction are both plentiful. And the hassle of emptying the bin frequently is still miles less than the hassle of getting out and plugging in a corded vacuum.
