I purchased this for my roommates toddler for Christmas. She always wants to use my Dyson v8 to help us clean up, but it's too heavy and large (and expensive) for a toddler to play with.
This toy is perfect. It matches my real one almost exactly!
The long tube is a clear orange (unlike the real one, which is metal) so they can see all the dust bunnies getting sucked up as they go. It also makes it easier to see any random objects they'll undoubtedly try to shove into it.
All of the attachments connect just like on the real one, but the red release buttons are a bit difficult for her tiny hands to press easily. Maybe they'll loosen up over time?
The roller bar is hard plastic with no bristles. It rolls when you push it around, but does not spin on it's own. This is probably more of a safety feature than a flaw like some reviews say. Remember all those old electronic toys that would catch kids' hair, chew it up, and tear it out? Yeah.
The dust collection cup flap thing opens when you pull the red release handle on top, but the entire top doesn't pull up like the real one. Another good move because that would be the first thing to get broken and act as a potential pinch point.
Most of the collection cup is actually sealed and filled with fake colorful debris. This means the cup walls won't get all nasty (like the real one) and they can't try to jam toys in there. The actual dust (cat hair, mostly) collects in a narrow space in the center of the cup. This makes it easier to clean since you can just wipe it out with a rag or a bottle cleaner.
The "filters" do not come off/pull out and I'm thankful. She more than likely would have tried to take them off of the real vaccum at some point if the toy did the same lol
The construction seems fairly sturdy. She rammed it into every wall the first day and it didn't scratch or break. I don't see any sharp or ugly mold lines, pretty much every iconic external detail is there, and the color match is perfect.
The obvious "downside" is that it doesn't really suck up much at all, especially when the batteries are low. I know that too much suction would be dangerous, but it isn't even powerful enough to suck up anything heavier than tissue confetti or cat hair. Not a big deal though. A $30 kids toy obviously won't work the same as a $400+ vaccum and that's okay.
My biggest beef is the power source. It would have been a great idea to make it rechargeable like the real one. It's almost 2022. Why are we still clinging to AA batteries for toys that literally suck them dry? Plenty of toys are rechargeable now. Even my cat has rechargeable toys!
That said, kids have imaginations so the actual functionality doesn't matter that much, it's just cool when they work.
Oh, and the real vacuum attachments do NOT fit on the toy one. Trust me, she tried.
Overall, this is an adorable, affordable, and fun toy for any kiddo. It's even better when you have the real one to match!

It looks and sounds like a real vacuum and the confetti inside helps with the simulation. However, there is no actual suction as advertised, not even a little bit. Also it arrived broken. The latch on the compartment that is supposed to hold what the kids suck up was broken on arrival. The lid just hangs loose open. Otherwise really cute and a fun plaything for the kids.

This little thing is so cute. It looks so much like the real dyson. The canister even opens. This one is much less annoying than the old school ones that pop as pushed. The size is also perfect for my 1.5 yr old nephew. Pricing is on point.
