Dyson - DC08

20 years ago for the Labrador I bought a Dyson DC 08. She's gone, but the vacuum is still alive. Was $800 ish back in the day.

I have a Dyson DC08. It has a vacuum bag in it because it is so crap. It works well with the vacuum bag so I used it in the shed.

I bought my Dyson in 2005 for $399 and it’s still going strong. I think the original models must have been made better.

Ik gebruik al 10 jaar Dyson stofzuigers al ben ik de naam even kwijt. Een compact model die je nog ouderwets met een stekker aansluit en een handzuiger. Een paar jaar terug heb ik de handzuiger vervangen door een steel stofzuiger en ik vind 'm erg fijn voor kleine snelle schoonmaak sessies, maar de compacte stofzuiger met de stekker is nog altijd mijn favoriet.

Maybe a battery powered canister style vacuum. I still have a Dyson canister vacuum that is great but I never use it because I hate having to plug and unplug it.

I actually think I used the wrong term. I just meant the regular style vacuum. But I think after a quick Google that's called an upright style. The canister seems to be like the old rainbow my grandmother had. I agree I wouldn't want that. But like a regular old standing vacuum that worked on an ego battery so you didn't need to plug and unplug it to move around the house would be great.

Nothing wrong with using a shop vac as a regular vaccuum cleaner. it gets the job done. I think they are just designed to work in dirty messy shops, so they are bigger, and maybe don't have as good dust filters on them. When indoors, you want to avoid blowing dust and allergens all over the place by using a vaccuum with a hepatitis filter. You can use a regular vaccuum with hos attachments to suck up cobwebs and clean fan blades and stuff. Yes, we have two vaccuums. actually 3, but who's counting? A Dyson cordless handheld. and a Dyson canister vaccuum. We like having one on each level. I HATE dragging that thing up the stairs.

Dyson canisters are designed to sit on stairs. https://www.vacuumwizard.com/vw-content/uploads/2015/10/dyson-dc23-stairs.jpg With an upright for stairs I would just be using it normally not trying to use the hose with an attachment of any kind.

Shark! I’ve had Bissell, Dyson, and Shark. The Bissell I had was an early bagless model, and it was an absolute pain to empty out. I replaced it with a Dyson canister that the sales guy at Bed Bath and Beyond sold me on. I discovered those were a PITA when you have stairs, so I replaced it with a Shark this year. The Shark is easy to empty out and has crazy suction. I’m moving out of the townhome I rented for the past year before buying my house, and even though I haven’t lived in the townhouse in over a month, the Shark keeps pulling up dust and cat hair.

I have. rechargeable Bissel Crosswave that handles 80% of the vacuuming needed for daily stuff, and mops floors too. Once a week on average I will do a deep clean with my dyson canister vac.

I bought two dysons thinking they were the best. Canister vacuum motor burnt out right after the two year warranty. Stick vacuum battery died, which was fine to replace but still annoying. We’ve been limping along with just the stick vacuum for two years now brutal!
