Dyson - DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I have 4. Dyson Outsize+ stick vac, Dyson DC24 (old model), Roomba and a Ryobi handheld dustbuster.

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.

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 have 2 broken shark lift away navigators one so far is just the head replacement and the other is the hose to the vacuum elbow connector but I can't tell if it includes the hose. Then I have an orange ball dyson I can figure out how to engage the beater bar. I bought the navigators refurbished. One lasted years the other more recent 1 lasted maybe a year. They keep making them so much less quality it seems. What can I do with these vacuums? I literally got a vacuum graveyard growing in my living room.

Buy a 2013-2019 era Dyson Ball from marketplace. They are Bagless, very clean emptying process, they have an aggressive brushroll (which is my favourite feature on them), excellent suction. The brush roll has an on/off switch. They often sell at or below $250 on marketplace.

I hate to say it, but yes. The newer stick ones are amazing. Had mixed luck with the Dyson ball models but loving the new obes
