I've had 2 Dyson vacuums, both of them had issues. I had one for only 2 months and it was utterly useless because the brush would stop spinning if the slightest thing got caught in it. The other Dyson simply broke down. Neither of them had decent sucking power. Overrated - overpriced trendy junk- I will never waste money on that company again.
The Shark, on the other hand, was affordable, and works great.
It seems to have more sucking power than the Dyson. I like how the vacuum comes apart in different ways depending on your needs. The cord is a good length. The canister could be larger, but it's enough room to get a few rooms done before needing to empty. Depends on your carpet type and amount of stuff on the floor. It will fill up quick with wool carpets.
There is an accessible switch at the handle to switch between hard floors and carpets, and you can turn the suction up or down if necessary. It comes with an extra attachment to dust your hardwoods (dry) with a microfiber cloth.
The only downside is that when you switch over to the hose attachment, whatever is left in the vacuum head spills out on the floor, so you end up having to vacuum the trail it's left behind. This is a bit of an annoying flaw, but I can deal with it since the vacuum does the job for the most part. It's lightweight and easy to carry around. Easy to empty and just easy to use all around.
I wouldn't say it's the best vacuum on the market, but it's definitely a good multipurpose vacuum.

Designed for photographers in mind, this BenQ 27-inch Adobe RGB monitor provides clear HD resolution. Enjoy features such as black-and-white photo mode and the Palette Master Element color calibration software. The full 2560x1440 ppi QHD resolution and a shading hood with OSD controller make this BenQ 27-inch Adobe RGB monitor perfect for the budding photographer.

I purchased the BEN-Q 32" 4K display, but had to return it because there were too many glitches. I have a refurbished 2012 MAC Pro Tower (6 core cpu) 32 RAM, with a Sapphire HD graphics card, but it still wasn't suitable enough to power the 4k display via displayport. The screen would intermittently flicker, and that worsened upon multitasking activity.Even without multitasking it would glitch. I had everything closed with the exception of a NF movie. I opened the movie for full screen viewing, then the flicker was much worse. That was the moment I decided to send it back. Keep this mind if you plan to try 4K on an older machine, or one without a very high end graphics card.
I decided to try the 27 IPS display instead, and it worked like a charm. The Adobe colorspace is excellent and the resolution is suitable for my needs. Everything appears sharp and crisp. You can easily adjust display settings with the provided controller.
While I prefer the size of the 32 4K, the 27" display is still large enough to organize a layout for editing graphics, video and photography.
I've only had this for a night, but I am very pleased with this monitor.
I am not a gamer, so I can't speak for that end of things.
I've loaded Adobe Photoshop CC to give a test run and the illustrations looked fantastic.
I haven't sent out anything for print yet, so I am not yet ready to compare the screen work to actual prints. This is a very important feature since I work in graphics and photos for print. I will update the review once I have sent something out for print.

Dyson DC39 Animal Canister Vacuum Cleaner: Keep your floors free from pet hair with this bagless canister vacuum that features Radial Root Cyclone technology for powerful suction. Combo, stair and mini-turbine tools make it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas.

There is a sensor on the head of the vacuum that continuously stops the brush from spinning. I keep it tangle free the best I can, but it is just too difficult to constantly get every hair and string off the brush. Dust bunnies constantly get stuck to the button/sensor on the side and so that seems to be causing a problem as well. It has gotten to the point where I dread vacuuming, even for light jobs. I have started using the upholstery attachment just to get through it, but that is most ridiculous when you have many floors to vacuum. Now I am concerned that improper use of that attachment would only cause damage to it. I really like the vacuum, if not for this issue.
