Unlimited 10 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

I wanted one great vacuum I would have forever and I picked up the Bosch Unlimited 10 recently and overall love it, and it's got attachments for everything. It is pricy tho. Also it's quite heavy so some people who use it might find it overly fatiguing to hold.

Well ultimately if your wife has final sign off and she wants a dyson...well you know the rest. V15 is probably the model I'd suggest in that case, they seem to have fewer failures than other dyson models based on my anecdotal experience. That being said, cordlesses as a category don't appear to be awfully high quality. But there are options which at least inspire more confidence build-wise. The bosch unlimited 10 might be worth looking at. It's made in Europe and includes a 10 year motor warranty. Includes a lot of nice-to-have features including a flexible tube for cleaning under furniture without bending over (the unlimited 9 lacks this, if you'd prefer to avoid the added complexity), a battery time readout on the display, long runtime with rapid recharge time, dust sensor, quick release floorhead without needing to bend down, a dust compressor slider in the bin which helps it hold more fluffy debris like hair between emptying plus helps wipe off the mesh screen inside. It resists hair tangles and vacuums debris when pushed into or pulled backwards over the debris. Plus various small tools. It has a lot going for it, and probably the most fully featured European stick vac contender. The only downside I'd say is the lack of multicyclonic filtration, meaning dust will accumulate on the filter more quickly. Though it has a twist flick mechanism to dislodge dust from the filter, which then falls out of the bin when emptied. So, manual through cleaning of the filter shouldn't be required frequently. Just a few twists of the filter cleaning knob. Other notable options include the miele triflex or duoflex ranges. The triflex is made in Germany, it benefits from a unique design which allows you to configure it as a sort of mini-upright vacuum. It's really nice for floor cleaning in this configuration, it stands up on It's own and the weight isn't resting entirely in your hand like many stick vacs. Downside is, it takes more time to then switch it around for handheld use in that configuration. The triflex also lacks the runtime screen and other niceties from the bosch. The miele duoflex is another good choice. It's a solid feeling machine, though made in china. Good performance all around, just a bit less fancy than the bosch. It's advantage is good carpet performance, I'd consider it the best of the 3 on medium to thicker carpets though the triflex and bosch are solid as well. Honorable mentions would be the LG cord zero models and samsung bespoke jet (the only one on this list with a self empty station). I wouldn't say these are quite as well built as the bosch and miele options but they are still credible competitors and would be more budget concious choices.

No. The dyson pencilvac has an extremely tiny dust capacity, it requires emptying every use which is fiddly because you must remove the floor nozzle to do so. It lacks a cyclone separation system, so the filter gets dirty quickly and requires cleaning especially in very dusty environments. Also, it is completely unsuitable for carpets. It is strictly for hard floors. A cordless vac might be a good addition to your home as a supplementary cleaner, but not the pencilvac. There's much better and more versatile options out there for much less money. Any miele cordless vac, the bosch unlimited 9 and 10 series, and Henry cordless are all better choices with much higher performance, the ability to clean all floors, less maintainence intensive, and more robust with better runtime.

Dyson & Riccar only offer 2 year warranties, Sebo a 3 year warranty, Bosch offers a 10 year warranty on the motor. I just purchased a Bosch unlimited 10 after owning 2 Dysons. So far I'm super happy with it. It is heavier than the Dyson. Bosch has great customer service & it's easy to speak to a human. I used a coupon for 20% off that I found on the Bosch website under "Special Offers". I think it's good until Feb 16th

We have a Bosch unlimited 10. Bought in April and it’s been life changing honestly. Comes with two batteries so you can have one on the vacuum and one charging. Loads of attachments included, great on carpets and hard floors. We have 2 cats and it’s great for picking up fur and the trail of litter they leave behind them. We previously have had 2 dysons, both hand me downs admittedly, but the 2nd one was maybe only 6 months old when we got it. The batteries run out super quickly on them, no where near the time stated by Dyson, and gradually no longer hold charge. The worst part imo was parts were not interchangeable between models, they made them ever so slightly different so it was really hard to get spare parts - Bosch parts are interchangeable between at their vacuums in the unlimited series. Comes with a 10 year motor warranty as well!

Well, I've just tried: - Bosch 18V (green not blue). - Karcher vacuum cvh3. - Nilfisk VU200. The first two were useless; the VU200 is still a bit useless TBH, but at least it gets dust. Not leaves though. My next tries were going to be a Bosch Ultimate 10/Miele HX/Dyson v12, or a Metabo 18V (I already have their batteries), or a 18V blue Bosch. An extension cord is frankly probably the best.
