On the corded front We have a Dyson Ball Animal we bought in 2021 no issues at all with 5 girls, and 3 males most with long hair which we bought while we replaced a host the kids shot a short pencil through. We also have a Dyson Multi Floor 2 (bought 2018) that the kids shot a short pencil through the curved back hose. we replaced with the newer Dyson ball while I decided to get around to fixing. I fixed it by buying that curved hose part for $18, then installed it and it is working great. We also have Dyson V8 (2018) which is great but doesn't have a long battery life on turbo. I have other family members that also have V8s except 1 which has A V10 they got at Costco which seems to be like the V10 but longer battery life. Other brands I hear good things about is Shark which Costco also carries. Unsure the hate. Over 10 Dyson vacuums in the family absolutely none of the have had issues unless we caused physical damage to it. Seems it was very easy to repair.
My boyfriend gave me his old Dyson vac with the yellow ball and I've had it over 5yrs and it was old when I got it and it's still great. Super suction. Best vac I've ever used. All these comments surprised me. I had no idea everyone thought it was a shit product
I have 2 broken shark lift away navigators one so far is just the head replacement and the other is the hose to the vacuum elbow connector but I can't tell if it includes the hose. Then I have an orange ball dyson I can figure out how to engage the beater bar. I bought the navigators refurbished. One lasted years the other more recent 1 lasted maybe a year. They keep making them so much less quality it seems. What can I do with these vacuums? I literally got a vacuum graveyard growing in my living room.
I know that’s not how you want to spend your time but just giving some insight. Stick vacuums are also not intended to be the sole vacuum (not sure if you’re using it as such) especially with carpet. I have a Dyson corded: the ball canister that I LOVE and the regular upright yellow one that I love but it’s a little heavy. I’ve also owned the shark rotator vacuum that was good for a while and then I didn’t love and have the cordless shark that I actually really like and is easier to clean. Check Rebel Stork to see if they have mieles for cheaper. They’re returned products so some of them are new and some are used you just have to read the description.
I have a yellow upright Dyson that I’ve had for many years and it works perfectly still, I’ve had to change the belt 2-3 times, other than that it’s still fantastic. I have a v6 animal and the battery health died after a few years of very light use. I might give them one more try on a cordless or just replace the battery on the v6.
I just got a Dyson ball upright for $160 refurbished. That’s like half the cost of a new one and it’s through them so it’s legit. I know people gonna come at me for this cuz they’re not the best vacuum. But I just needed something decent. Not the best vacuum on the market. It works great though!
I hate my cordless vacuum. I always had a mains power Dyson. I could pick up a brick with it! I loved it. Carpets looked and felt clean. Now I live somewhere where I have to use cordless to keep my power draw low. I have a good make, I bought it new but it’s useless. It won’t clean the cabin on a single charge. It lasts about 5 minutes on full power, 20 minutes on medium and on low power Id be better off laying on the floor and sucking through a straw. It seems to spit as much debris out the back of it as it picks up even though the filter is clean which means I have to wait hours to repeat the process to have the place look clean. I have dogs and they walk it lots of grit. It won’t even contemplate sucking up grit. It just shoots right out the back. So frustrating.
I did this, they’re anywhere from $40-$100 and is an insanely good deal for the price but you’ll need to clean the cyclone which takes a decent bit of time and patience so be aware.
