Tech Advisor's 4.5/5 'Dyson design at half the price': 310 AW, a removable 90-minute battery, a dust-count display, a blue-light dust reveal head and a full tool set including a soft roller and pet deshedder. The $599.99 list is inflated; it sells at $299–349, which is why Value and Features tie at 88. It cannot stand on its own (wall dock included), the bin is fiddly for some, and Amazon lists a weaker 210 AW Z30 Essential, so check the SKU; Warranty is the softest at 66 on 2 years.
