Dyson - DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

If at any moment money is a concern you can get a good Bissell vacuum at walmart for like 150 bucks. Something like a powerforce helix, cleanview, or anything in that style. I remember I bought one in 2013 and it was amazing for the buck. However not sure how is a powerforce helix now a days. I had a cleanview a couple months ago and it worked quite awesome but ate a ziptie and lost suction. However, great vacuum still should last you around five years. If your apartment is in Miami I'd choose dyson animal since they are in fact powerful. However they are at the 400-650 dollar price range. I have a Dyson DC24 used (old) which I recently got and its awesome. Dosen't pick much as a heavier vacuum but the ball technology is awesome and its fun to use so I can imagine how the new ones would be. I'd stay away from cordless vacuums. They are weird and when you use one it feels weird and it feels like its gonna die for some reason and are not as powerful. The heavier the better I feel tho.

Yes. This. We had ours for at least 20 years.

I didn't know about the anti-tangle brush thing? That's disappointing.... But then again I'm still using a Dyson DC24 because it just won't die and it's easy to repair

I agree with this list. I have a V15 detect and it is what I use 95% of the time. It is just so convenient to grab it off the charger and be cleaning up a mess 1 second later. However, I bought it expecting it to last 10 years, probably with a battery replacement along the way. If I were to own only 1 vacuum, the Miele cat&dog is what I would have bought based on reviews. Call me lazy, but I bet my house would be less clean if that was my only vacuum. Dragging it out, dealing with the hose and cord, getting an extension cord or moving the car if I want to use it outside are all small but annoying barriers to quick cleans. I can take my Dyson off the charger, suck up a little spill, even step outside and empty it into the trash by the time I'd have a corded vacuum ready to go. If you live in a small house or apartment, the battery Dysons can be your only vacuum, but I think for larger homes you still want a corded machine. For what it is worth, my other vacuum is a DC24 from 2004ish, and while I didn't expect it to last all that long either, it still works good as new. I replaced the hose once about 10 years ago after I tore it. I like how modular it is so it can be taken all apart and cleaned and parts can be replaced like Legos.

I've had a Dyson dc24 for like 20 years? Only having to replace the roller brush mechanism.

Ive had a dyson dc24? for what I believe is almost 20 years.

I've got three vacuums 😂 (all bought second hand!). I have a small dyson ball which is great for carpets, I have a miele pet which I use on wooden floors and tight corners etc and my poor henry is relegated to being the shed vacuum 🤣 Like I said all my vacuums were bought second hand, I think the most I paid was £20 for the miele and they all work perfectly.

I think the upright is great for ease of use but it couldn’t handle dog hair very well. It kept getting stuck in different places and I had to clean the vacuum every single use. Idk I am just not impressed by the vacuum.

I used to have one of those cordless Dyson, and while I loved how practical it was, it was very finicky. I constantly had to clean out every part of it because hair got stuck in it and plugged it up. Like they were rolled around the bristles so tightly it stopped moving, they go stuck in the tube to the canister. It ended up just stop working and I didn’t care enough to deal with it but tossed it and got a regular vacuum. So while I am considering getting a second one again for the quick messes, because in terms of ease of use they are great, I am not sure what I would get and definitely would do my research. Probably would stay away from Dyson, and look if shark or Miele makes a good one, as their brands are better in general.

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.

Canister vacuum: Dyson cinetic big ball (no maintainance) / Dyson big ball (filter to maintain) Both have hygienic bin emptying (your finger doesnt go near the waste disposal area) It’s easy to reach around due to the extendable wand. Upright: Dyson ball upright vacuum (any) theyre easy to maintain, they have hygienic bin emptying, and they have a long wand on the back thats easy to use with the on board tools. Cordless: Dyson v12 (it’s small and uses a button power system, easy to manoeuvre) / Dyson gen5 (it’s normal size, uses a power button system and had a built in crevice and dusting brush combo). Both have hygienic bin emptying

Shark, if you can get them in Ireland. I also have an upright Dyson ball, definitely not worth what it costs, suction is great and has stayed like that, but it pretty much lacks in all other areas, especially usability.
