Dyson - DC28c / DC28ci

I've found 2 on the curb. The DC 33 I've been using since 2020. The beater bar needs replaced but it works fine. I rescued a DC28 from a rainstorm—it has buttons for the settings. Cleaned it up and resold it for like $75 i think. It was heavier and kinda mechanically complicated. I've used the ball ones and not a big fan. Is your current vacuum you mentioned commercial? Because that's what I'd get next. Or a Kirby. Idk if I'd buy a Dyson brand new. They're so spendy.

I hate my Dyson 28 for animal hair! It is cumbersome and the extension never pulls out without pulling the entire vacuum over! Can’t wait to get rid of it! I bought an ancient rainbow on marker place and really felt it did a good job but it crapped out. I’m looking for a new or lightly used vacuum with a water filtration similar to the rainbow because it excited me so much to see how much gunk it got out of my house. We have all hardwood floors with wool rugs. I had heard recommendations for the rainbow E2 Black and have been looking for one but haven’t for one in the condition and price that looks like I want. Now I realizing there are a few more options other than Rainbow. Advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I need one pretty quickly

We had the Dyson Ball vacuum (corded) and absolutely hated it. It worked terrible, was heavy and just wasn't good. We did regular maintenance on it too. It just was crap. Since then, we've replaced it with shark vacs. We keep one on each floor of the house so we don't have to continually carry them up and down stairs. They work great. I also recently got a handheld cordless shark vac and it is AWESOME. We have some awkward spaces in our home that a vacuum never really fit in so the cordless hand vac does the job. With 4 cat, I vacuum regularly. I use a Fuller hoky (manual sweeper) daily and it works great too!

I’m sorry, the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs so I wouldn’t rank it that high. The attachments are excellent for their specific uses like couch/mattress, the nozzle for corners but I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs. Vacuum’s with cords for the win!

I have a Dyson ball, the one where the main unit rolls on the floor and you have the handpiece connected with a hose, has served me well for 6 years no issues. Easy to clean and empty. I see a lot of people recommended Miele here, never tried them but they use bags, I don't like those types

I got a Dyson ball 5 years ago because I have a golden retriever and now a cat, it still works amazingly well. It’s shocking how much hair it picks up that we don’t notice. Bought and cordless one too

The ball version Dyson is a beast. I purchased a Dyson stick V10 and was very disappointed with both battery life and performance.

I will never buy another Dyson product again after owning a Dyson ball…

Whoever has those Dysons clearly doesn’t have multiple long-haired, double coated pets running around. I had the stick and the ball versions and both barely lasted a year

I had a dyson ball that lasted 6 years with good maintenance. Can’t be too mad about that i guess. Spent $1000 on a miele c3 so if i don’t get a decade out of it, then i blame this sub.
