Dyson - Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

I’ve had 2 Dyson stick vacs break and honestly the manufacturing seems to get cheaper not better. Just switched to shark and happy so far but when you’re in the $400 range you are buying a short term vacuum anyhow.

Yes. I use my cordless Dyson daily for small messes and use it as my main vacuum. It’s so convenient. I love it. I also got it on sale at Costco.

Yes, being cordless and effective for what I need. They have HEPA filters, at least mine does. The no bag is a feature for some of us not a defect. It's all a tradeoff. For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. I dont make a mess emptying it vs making a mess swapping bags - cause I overfill it. That's a me thing but it's a consistent me thing and I dont have to worry about it with the Dyson. I never would have thought I'd defend a near $1,000 cordless vacuum but I got one as a gift and will never buy anything different now.

Same - Though Reddit seems to hate them. We got a Shark as a gift, lasted 1 year. They replaced it for free. Lasted about 2 years. We’ve had the same Dyson stick over 10 years with no issues. A charge doesn’t last long as long as it used to, but suction is still excellent. I can save you the trouble, Reddit will recommend you buy a $1300 corded Miele/Sebu. If God forbid you must have a cordless, $1000 Miele or $200 shark. I just don’t think it’s worth it for something where the bar is “does it get my floors clean?”. It reminds of certain hobbies like Mountain Biking where anything other than enthusiast-level ($$$$) is ‘junk’. Okay but I had fun riding my ‘junk’ the last decade while saving 8K. PC gaming, too - nobody has enjoyed a game with 12GB of VRAM, apparently.

Don’t know how often you’d use or charge yours but after having to replace the battery on my Dyson twice when it died the third time I got a black and decker instead - swappable battery means there’s no wait for recharge an I don’t need a place to plug it in - I also had a ton of the batteries for other tools already. Oh, and it works great for a cordless stick, as well as the Dyson did an we use it on floors and rugs (still use an upright on the thick pile rugs weekly but it does the job for a quick tidy on them)

I would absolutely recommend one. I lived in a small apartment with my boyfriend when we got 2 cats, and our vacuum was also corded and bulky, which definitely made us dread vacuuming and not doing it quite as often as we should. We ended up getting a Dyson v10 (Woot has sales on Dyson vacuums all the time, so it was <$300) and LOVE it. It worked so much better than the older vacuum we were using at the time, and it makes getting it out and using it *so* incredibly easy, so I was vacuuming all the time. My only concern was that it might not cut it once I bought a house, which I did 3 years ago, but I'm still using it as my vacuum! It honestly works great, and it has enough charge to vacuum both of the two stories of my house. I actually got a hard floor vacuum head for the downstairs since the floor is vinyl there, and it works fantastic on that as well. **Edit**: I'll add that my parents, who would always have the most ridiculous and hard to use vacuums ended up getting a cordless one as well - the Wyze cordless one, which is a lot cheaper than a Dyson - and they love theirs as well (and they even have a fairly large house to vacuum, plus 2 dogs - 3 when they initially bought it).

Merk je verschil tussen die twee? Ik heb zelf de V10 (animal) en heb daar een nieuwe accu ingezet en zo’n borstel met licht erin. Twijfelde of ik dit moest doen of ook naar de v15 overstappen. Vandaar dat ik benieuwd ben naar jouw ervaring. Btw, wat is ocd?

With the dyson stick cordless, the battery can be replaced. We did so on ours after 8ish years and it is like new.

When our battery started to go I had no idea it could be replaced. Needless to say I was very excited, lol

My husband ordered and exchanged it. I dont recall it being a pain in the ass. There seems to be 2 screws.

I have the rechargeable #2 on the list Dyson stick and I LOVE IT! If you have carpeted stairs, it’s no challenge dealing with those. I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge.

Second vote for Shark. I had the very first Dyson, and later a Dyson Animal. I’ve since had a Shark Navigator Lift Away, and another Shark, whose model name I can’t remember. Give me some grace, I’m old! Both Sharks were FAR superior to either Dyson, and FAR cheaper! They picked up EVERYTHING, including tons of dog hair, the brush rolls rarely tangled, and when they did, they were easy to clean. A bonus on the Lift Away is that it comes apart so that you can use the top part as a (comparatively) lightweight canister vac, which is great for stairs, overhead cleaning, etc. I’ll never buy another Dyson. If you tried to give me one, I’d ask if I could have another Shark instead.
