I have a hand me down Dyson handheld dc35 from 2014 that’s still going strong (knock off batteries though) and a super old dc31 that still works despite someone using it to clean up a home renovation project. I also have the v15 which we love. We got the hand me downs after we got the v15 and I’m surprised at how well they still perform. I will never go back to an upright vacuum again unless it’s a Dyson. Edit: turns out I got the wrong version #s for the older 2 units. Either way they've all lasted me a ridiculous amount of time despite the abuse.

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.

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.
