I have the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Pro Canister. Works great!

I love my Dyson Cinetic canister, but I don’t think you can get them anymore. I hated my last Kenmore because it didn’t take standard accessories. At least the Dyson has available adapters for cheap! And the suction is amazing.

I wonder this as well. I have had lots of brands over the years, but not a Miele or Riccar. My favorite is my Dyson Cinetic canister. The suction is so much stronger than anything I have ever used. I have been using it for about 8 years now. Hopefully it never dies as they don’t make it anymore. For quick pickup of cat fur and liter I use a Tineco S1 stick.

My stick vacuum is the worst. I got a Dyson Big Ball canister vacuum because I can’t afford the fancy ones. I have two dogs and two feral children and it is the bomb. I know Dyson gets hated in, but honestly I really like it for what I need it for.

I got a hand me down V6 Motƶrhead from a friend who was too lazy to buy a new battery. Bought a cheap one on Amazon and it's lasted me 5-6 years with no trouble until recently the brush has stopped spinning. Have not had a chance to troubleshoot yet, so I can't say if it's an easy fix or needs replacing . I will definitely buy one, but I'll buy a refurbished one at a discounted price. I will also add I have always had a more powerful corded vacuum as well. The cordless is just for convenience between the deep cleans. I had a Dyson DC 07 for over 20 years and just bought a Dyson Big Ball canister on sale for $200. Sucks great, but not sure I'll ever get used to the canister. Time will tell.

I bought a Dyson Big Ball Animal Canister a few years back. Smart solutions at the joints, but besides that not great and pain to empty and clean. I got frustrated and threw it to the garbage, pledged not to buy anything Dyson ever and got myself a Siren with water filter.

I purchased the drag along ball model one like 10 years ago for pets. It was like $350 or something, and was a terrible vacuum. It would barely suck up pet hair on a bare floor, pretty much had to drive over the hair, and even that didn’t work sometimes .

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.
