Get one with a cord. Also, Dyson filters need to be cleaned often. Try cleaning the filter to help with suction. I have a Dyson multi floor canister (with a cord) and have had it for over a decade. I still love it. Recently my husband bought me a handheld cordless shop vac for cleaning up messes in the kitchen. It's awesome. It's by Ryobi and uses the same battery packs as my husband's tools. I highly recommend it. They have a stick vac version of it too.
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.
For the hard floors on the 1st floor my partner literally uses a small rigid shop vac lol holds a ton of hair and debris. Upstairs we have carpet and I use a dyson big ball canister vac
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.
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 Motörhead 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.
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
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??
