"I like the bag. Our bagless vacuums always made a MESS cloud of dust when trying to empty them in the kitchen. I'd have to go outside, and it would still make a cloud all over me. This was easy, close the lid on the bag, lift it out, toss it in the trash, put a new one in. It holds more than I'd typically think, because unlike our bagless, the dirt all gets packed into the bag, it gets more dense. So it holds more than you would expect."
"We've neglected the hell out of it. It has 1555 hours on it with minimal maintenance. Ran it every night for 4 years or so. So I always thought these things were tanks. It still works"
"All the parts that will have tangled hair (like rollers, empty bin, rotating brushes, and wheels) are extremely easy to remove and clean, almost with no tools needed. I literally take only ten minutes to remove every dog hair inside the system."

"The Mesa II's are super light ... something like 8oz lighter than the Vivo Hydra ESC ... I got spoiled by super light shoes and it's hard to wear anything else. now. ... So I'm a big Mesa fan."
"Copper Spur is perfect though I have also used a 20+ pound REI Kingdome when space was less of an issue. ... I do a fair amount of trips that start with a flight so a lighter tent that takes up less room is a must."

"sounded like a loud squeaky balloon. ... Every time I shifted weight or switched sides it was loud. ... Even someone walking by looked at me and said “that’s really noisy”."
"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"
"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"

"you can't even order replacement parts unless it's from a third party."
"Filters are ¥400 and have an rfid encrypted chip so you MUST buy one from Xiaomi. ... They also 'activate' once swapped out so when the xiaomi app says you have 0% life and need to change that's the end of the discussion. you can't just hose it down and dry it off. ... Same BS as most ink cartridge manufacturers. ... The pocket looters even ask if you want to automate purchases for filters in the future."
"They haven't even had the vacuum in stock on their website for years so you'd have to buy from a third party"

"dustbin clogs of fur where there’s empty spaces on the side due to an inefficient dustbin design"
"One thing I’ll add is that it needs dust emptying much more frequently than other robots because its dust bin is smaller than typical."

"aren't really for trail running/hiking anymore ... not intended anymore for actual trails ... more of a casual/city shoe and not intended anymore for actual trails ... Basically it's a gorpcore shoe for trendy fashion"
I used a dyson and once I got used to it I love it tbh. My house is only 96sqm so I put it on full blast and it does the job. I do appreciate its a pain in the hole if there is something a legacy cleaner would deal with. If I had more space in gaff I migjt have went for a Henry. I am mostly commenting because my mob is shite and need to get something better myself 😅
r/AskIreland • What vacuum cleaners do people recommend? ->I think it just takes a but of getting used to. Like the first few times I used it if there was a small peace of plastic.or paper on the ground my old Henry would eat it right up but the Dyson goes on strike 😅. Once you make that adjustment I find it class. Light weight, easy to use and with mod houses its so easy to store as well.
r/AskIreland • What vacuum cleaners do people recommend? ->Dyson are an utter rip off. I sympathise completely with you. Used to own one and I felt I’d have to do two rounds of the house to get it clean. Go for a Miele, they are cheaper and significantly better.
r/AskIreland • What vacuum cleaners do people recommend? ->Mi is gondolkodtunk a philipsen, de az eladó le beszélt róla, mert szerviz igényesek nagyon..igy maradt a dyson..abszolút nem bántuk meg
r/askhungary • Dyson vagy Philips álló porszívó, melyiket ajánlanátok? ->I bought the original Dyson Dc01 back in 1993, it still works well. Since then we’ve had a couple of their light plastic models and they’ve been a complete waste of money. My Xiaomi S20+ is brilliant though
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->It’s simple. Dyson is made from extremely cheap plastic parts. Their customer service is some of the worst in the industry. Lastly, when you want to have ur Dyson fixed, most places won’t touch them bc Dyson wants to be dealt with directly. So everything is a lot harder than it has to be with Dyson. I had an upright and the parts were super cheap. Like some of the lowest quality plastics on any vacuum. Only had it for maybe 5-6 years before it finally died on me. I’ll be going with a Sebo next.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum money can buy? ->I had an upright Dyson which died on me. I wasn’t a fan considering the price point and the cheap plastics they use for it. I just purchased a Sebo D4 and it’s no comparison. I have carpet and hardwood so the Sebo does both with ease. It has a powerhead for carpets as well as multiple attachments that are stored right on the machine. The motor has a 10 year warranty and it has a lot of suction power. I also like the bag capacity too since I have dogs that shed so I can vacuum my two-story house without having to constantly empty a cannister or bag. I’m impressed with it so far.
r/VacuumCleaners • What's the Best Vacuum Cleaner in 2025? (Price, Power, Capacity) ->Nekünk Dyson van, 2 gyerek, 2 macska mellett nekünk igazán megváltoztatta az életünket. Mivel könnyű, az iskolás gyerekünk is játszva ki tudja vele takarítani a szobáját és imád is vele "játszani".
r/askhungary • Dyson vagy Philips álló porszívó, melyiket ajánlanátok? ->Dyson plug in upright , i hate these Henry type things you have to drag around and are to use and dont suck up stuff easily
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Right? I'll grant you some other brands that are underpowered. But Dyson? Dysons are great. I got one as a wedding gift like 14 years ago and it was an amazing vacuum. So much so that I bought another to replace it without even batting an eye at the price. The Dyson was still going strong but the battery was toast and I couldn't get a replacement. I'm not opposed to the idea of an EGO vacuum either. If it was good I'd probably buy it. But Dyson is legit awesome.
r/egopowerplus • I'd love to see an Ego Vacuum cleaner ->I’m scared to even say this but I use sharks for my housekeeping business and I love them. I also used OLD OLD Dyson uprights (not balls) and I will still reach for those for dirty jobs because I love how easy they are to take apart. One of my clients has a Miele and I hate it. I am much more efficient with my sharks and dysons. And yeah I just clean them regularly
r/VacuumCleaners • Bought a Shark and it’s incredible!! ->I was about to say why all the Dyson hate as I had a DC01 and it was amazing. Had it for a similar amount of time and replaced bits as everything was screwed together and you could buy parts. Lost the hoover in a divorce and haven’t had one since. Shame to hear they’re shite now.
r/AskUK • What is the best hoover brand that you have had/experienced? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
