Dyson Animal Big Ball , plug-in. The pet hair attachment is great plus the main foot too. All the other attachments are ++ but for pet stuff they’re the stars Def not cordless. If I use my bf’s stick Dyson on the rug then use my Dyson there’s a noticeable difference!!! The stick is for quickies 😜

Canister vacuum: Dyson cinetic big ball (no maintainance) / Dyson big ball (filter to maintain) Both have hygienic bin emptying (your finger doesnt go near the waste disposal area) It’s easy to reach around due to the extendable wand. Upright: Dyson ball upright vacuum (any) theyre easy to maintain, they have hygienic bin emptying, and they have a long wand on the back thats easy to use with the on board tools. Cordless: Dyson v12 (it’s small and uses a button power system, easy to manoeuvre) / Dyson gen5 (it’s normal size, uses a power button system and had a built in crevice and dusting brush combo). Both have hygienic bin emptying

Thats bad, but all of my dysons are nice and haven’t needed repair yet, I would definitely buy another Dyson ball, or cordless. This just sounds like horrible luck but do you vacuum and fill the bin all the way to the top before emptying it?

Ok so firstly, never buy a shark. They’re some of the worst vacuums in the long run and break easily also shark bins are super small. If you want a Dyson corded, they sell the ball origin and the ball animal (discontinued on Dyson’s website) for £250-£300 so a little over budget. I personally prefer Dysons as bagless uprights as they’re super powerful and easy to use. The only downside is that they’re a little heavy compared to most vacuums. If there is anything else specific or of your not willing to get the Dysons because you don’t like the reviews or design or price just let me know in a reply.

I got a second hand dyson big ball vaccum for $10 off FB marketplace. gave it a quick service and it was good to go. Best vaccum I've ever had

Buy the dyson bigball. I have it. After extensive research, i opted for a wired one. Cordless looks good on paper but you are mostly going to use it on floor only. Plus it is heavy to pick up and clean curtains etc. just go and have a demo of dyson bigball.

I just bought my second Dyson for our upstairs and we love it. The Big Ball vacuum was on sale for under $250 and it even has a dog grooming attachment I use on our golden retriever. Works great. Better than our older Dyson stick. I'd say if you want a Dyson that won't completely obliterate your bank account, give the Big Ball a try.

We've had a Dyson cinetic ball for about 5 years and it's awful. I've seen posts about Miele and sebo but theirs look like it's all $1000+? Are there any decent vacuums around $600??

Well, considering I can repair my Dyson, and I have before, my cinetic has lasted me 6 years so far and still going strong. My ball animal 3 is going on 4 years now.

I have a plug in big ball dyson that I bought in 2016 and I work as a cleaner so that baby gets used at least 3x a week for a couple of hours. It's one of the best vacuums I've ever owned ( my favourite is the Electrolux) The sucking power and the head swivel, the interchangeable parts all have stood the test of time. I love that i can dismantle the head for cleaning it. I highly recommend this vacuum to everyone. I do absolutely hate the dyson stick vacuums though!!!
