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).
Walmart has a good selection of Dyson refurbs. I got my v10 on there back in 2020 and it's still going well. Just picked up a Bissell PowerClean FurFinder for $88 since Amazon had 30% off Amazon Warehouse. Was intending to use that in my car, I really like how it has front lights in front so you can see dirt typically near invisible without lights. But in comparison to the Dyson, it's not nearly as good and it's noticably heavier.
We have a Dyson, V10 and it works well
We had a Dyson and it was fine. If you have a Costco I would recommend purchasing from there for their return policy. They have the Dyson V10 on sale for $400 right now.
They are decent cordless. Just make sure to keep the filter clean. We have 3 dogs and I would say I was cleaning it every two weeks.
The Dyson from V10 up are all great
I got the V10 after asking a similar question here and I’m obsessed, it’s great! And someone here said it’s better to have one with no display as it may cause issues.
