"the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared."
"continually having to take it apart and cut fur from the roller."
"animal and people hair can twist around the beater bar, so watch that and keep it clean. Take the whole thing out of the head. Get the hair hidden in the gaskets."

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?
I got the Dyson animal v10 for my second stick vacuum, it gets my wife's hair without jamming the beater bar so it should handle the pet fur that it's designed for. They will eventually die, but I'll get another dyson stick in 5+ years when that happens, for my 2200 sq ft home
I had a Dyson v10 animal and used it twice a day for about 7 years then the trigger got stuck, I fixed it. Then the battery died, bought a new one. Then the trigger got stuck again and a friend did it for me… and it stopped working. lol Anyway, would love the Dyson v15 detect but too expensive when there are so many other options. Over 6 months I was given 3 sharks. ALL OF THEM HORRIBLE! lol Spit litter out and all over the place, some wasn’t picked up at all. On Amazon, was between Smoture, Unicell, rendow, and Jellypig. Took time to search the reviews about comparisons to a Dyson vs wanting a Dyson but not affording it and trying whichever one. Your review pushed me over! Thanks!!! And I got it for $132!! You still liking it? What made you choose that one?
I had a Dyson v10 animal from Costco and used it twice a day for well, every day! lol carpet, stairs, tile and a 1700 square foot house with two cats. It gave out after many moves (a friend broke I think) and I was given three sharks. All horrible. Spit litter back OUT. lol Got a cheap Amazon jellypig/ way better than the shark, not even close to Dyson. But it was only $132 from $229. I hear smoture and dsorpa or fieety are good but I bet they’re the same. Will try one more and then if it’s not good, getting a refurbed v11 or v12. My friend’s v8 Dyson is still going strong at a decade. :)
I have this vacuum. I got it cheaper than this several years ago from Costco- I think around Christmas. If you have a pet with coarse hair, do not get this. I have a corgi and the way this vacuum is made, everything it sucks up is forced through an awkward rectangle that is less than an inch wide. My corgis fur clogs it up almost immediately and I have to pry his fur out of it with my fingers/butter knives/chopsticks/whatever I can angrily find. I spend way more time unclogging the thing than actually using it. I did not mount mine and therefore do not leave it charging 24/7, I only charge it when it dies, but two of my friends had the same vacuums and had them mounted and the batteries died within a year or two. Dyson told one of them that they aren’t meant to be charging all the time and it affects how long the battery will last.
Yo. I like my Dyson wireless vacuum. But, I only like the V10 animal. We got the newer model and it’s shit. They fucked it all up. I returned it. The v10 (without the worthless graphic/dust screen display) has a switch for 3 settings and on Medium it is perfect. The new ones just don’t do “medium” as strong. Here’s the kicker, I get mine on EBay refurbished from the Dyson store for like $200. I’m telling you, it’s the best loop hole for an excellent vacuum. To be clear, if you look for a v10, it needs to be without the display screen. The ones with the screen fucked up the suction settings.
Breaking the bank is subjective but my Dyson v10 animal lives up to the name. Does the whole house in a full charge (might need emptying more than once) but it’s so small and light and comes with great attachments such as the hard floor attachment with a green laser to show up all the dust and hairs. I believe you can pick up a refurbished one (mine came with a brand new battery) for in the £2-300 range. Just saw the end of your post. Mate just save a bit extra and get a Dyson. Bite whatever bit of pride you have against them and just get the superior product for a cleaner house.
We’ve had our Dyson V10 animal, for 7 years. With a dog that sheds, psoriasis and two toddlers it gets used a lot daily and it’s still going strong.
I'm Dyson fanboy, so I vote for the Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal+ from Costco. Dyson has great hair detangling technology, and this model comes with two motorized heads (one for the floor, and the other for upholstery and stairs) that work well for picking up pet hair. You might want to purchase the Dyson Soft Roller Cleaner Head (or a third party equivalent) for cleaning your hardwood floors.
I bought the Dyson V10 Animal back in 2019. It really helps with all the cat hair. Pricey but works great and is still going strong 6 years later.
It looks like you have a Dyson V10 Animal. I have a V10 too and this thing is not that good. If you want something with less maintenance perhaps you should look into getting a bagged vacuum! They can offer better filtration, less work on your end, just throw away the bag, and they can be reliable but over time if you dont change the bag it may start to smell. And you gotta buy bags but they can last a while depending on how much you such up. Like another comment said a kenmore canister is a good option. However I did notice that you are in Canada and are from the UK, perhaps you can try to find a Numatic Henry supplier? NaceCare is the North American distributor for Numatic products and theyre based in Canada. Or you could try a Miele, but im not sure how much they cost in Canada. But for all 3 make sure there is a powerbrush so you can clean the dog hair up off carpets(The Henry has an airpowered one which will be weaker).
