Strange - I have a Dyson DC16 - still going strong. 100% washable filters. Dyson's are a BIFL kind of product.
I cant give you a recommendation but can tell you what NOT to get. Don't get a Dyson. I've stupidly gotten 3. 2 cordless animals and they've been terrible. Our 2nd just died after maybe 2 years and during thst time, all it did was get clogged, sputter, and push hair around. It wouldnt ever suck it up. Its actually astounding. Out of pure stupidity, we bought them multiple times, partly because we bought one of their original first Gen cordless, so we excused its poorness. Now, we bought a new one many years later. Just the same, better battery power. If you find a good cordless vacuum let me know. We too are now in the market, AGAIN.
Of course not. They are the most overrated, overpriced, poorly made vacuums of all time imo. Ive bought 2 of them, they both died in 18mo and probably worked halfway decent for 5. First one was a corded one, 2nd was cordless animal.
What a patootie!! Dyson hand held
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 have the Dyson hand held, the battery capacity drove me nuts. So I bought the 18v battery adapter, so now I use my Makita battery and can easily do the whole flat.
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
Dyson er vel verd pengene ja. Lett å få reservedeler til også dersom noe skulle skje etter garanti/reklamasjon er gått ut.
Invester i en Dyson håndholdt med batteri. Den er vel verd pengene
I’ve got a Miele canister vacuum and Dyson hand held as do my friends. We all use the Dyson much more simply because it’s so convenient with being easy to grab, is always charged, lighter, and more maneuverable. My friends have pets and their Miele has had multiple breakdowns despite being the pet version. Hair clogs in the bristles and needs regular changing. Hair gets stuck where it shouldn’t and causes rollers to burn out. Connections don’t connect.
