The Omni-Glide certainly isn't the biggest and baddest Dyson on the block, but it does the job. It weighs just over four pounds and is designed to swivel in all directions. Plus, its compact form allows it to lie flat, so you can reach all those nooks and crannies your bulkier vacuum can't get to.

Overall, the Omniglide was fantastic at cleaning hard surface floors. It captured 100% of all debris we tested. The omnidirectional cleaning head has 360° of rotation, which allows you to clean in any direction. The dual spinning fluffy brush rolls help the cleaning head glide easily and clean close to edges and baseboards. On our test, the Omni-glide did exactly what it was designed to do.

Battery life is also a bit of an issue, as it only lasted 21 minutes on low, 8 minutes on high. Expect to recharge often if you have a large space to clean. But anyone with large areas of hardwood in their homes would certainly benefit from many of the vacuum’s features.
