DC16

Strange - I have a Dyson DC16 - still going strong. 100% washable filters. Dyson's are a BIFL kind of product.

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.

I bought used Miele older canister at local vacuum dealer. Owner didn’t want to talk about Dyson. I like Miele but not sure about canister vs upright. It’s quiet, & does a great job, & I will keep but still like the Dyson concept. I bought Dyson Animal 3 on sale last week. Also have Dyson cordless handheld & purifiers. I have original Dyson ball DC24, 15 years old too

Numatic Henry! Wat een topding! We hebben ook zo’n trendy Dyson stofzuiger, maar dat is gewoon best irritant

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.

Depends on the situation as well. When I lived in a condo with hard floors the Dyson was great. Now that we live in a bigger house with a lot of carpet, wed have to charge it twice just to do the basement decently. Also had to warranty/purchase knockoff parts 5 items in the 6 years we've had it. Still great for small areas though

Had Dyson fail every 3 years. Got divorced. Fixed up one with a drill battery adapter. Got a lot more power and duration out of the Dyson. My new house I had the ryobi tools and purchased the ryobi stick vacuum. The model up from base. Freaking great!  If youve got a battery system for your tools see if they do a stick vacuum for in the house.
