Ball Multi Floor DC50

I have the Dyson ball multi floor whatever from Costco. I think it’s a dc50. It’s like 10 years old. It works ok, but our gen 5, which is probably a year old, still kicks its butt on carpet. It surprises me because who’d think a battery vacuum would be better? It is. And it’s great on all surfaces.

I actually quite like my DC50 Dyson. I hate the bloke as he rehashes old designs and claims he invented them but the corded Dysons are great in my opinion. Sucks good, parts are easy to get, etc

Same here, the Dyson DC14 is getting long in the tooth. I have tried a Shark - Worked well for 2 years then fell apart. Tried a Vax - Same thing. Tried a DC50 - Flimsy pile of shit, sucks ok but nowhere near as good as the DC14. DC41 - Same issues as DC50 and was stupidly hard to push because of the stupid ball. DC14- The king, had it for 20 years and still works like new, except it has a very strong burning smell. DC04 - Was good, but not as good as the DC14 and fell to pieces after a couple years.

That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.

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.

Had a Dyson roller ball. It was absolute shit compared to the shark navigator I have now. Can’t speak for the super high end ones. But shark beats Dyson and it’s not close.
