DC33 Bagless Upright Vacuum

I do want to say that I had have had the exact opposite experience with dyson, I have had my Dyson vacuum cleaner the dc-33 since 2014, I have never had a service other than doing some regular maintenance on it myself, haven't had to replace any parts, and it's finally crapping out after extensive use over the past decade +. I contacted customer service about it and they were super helpful, professional, and pleasant. Sorry your experience with them sucked though! I do need a new vacuum cleaner now though 😕

They've sent me two broken ones, and without repairing them they've just sent two more units. They always have issues, but i need a stick vac for cleanups (like kitty litter) so i just bough some cheap ass black and decker that i can buy batteries for. the only good Dysons' were from the dc33 down and even those had problems

This is a decent move. Had an old Dyson upright (DC33) and after ~8 years it never missed a beat. Needed to get rid of it for reasons (nothing wrong with it) and I couldn't give it away. Nobody wants old upright style (or big ball...) vacuums anymore. It's all about stick vacs and robot. So yeah - if you can find one second hand for pretty much free, why not.

Not sure of where you’re located, but both I and my parents have purchased and been using Dyson DC33 corded vacuums for well over 10 years without any issues, only replacing small, wearable items like the brush roller and belt in the clutch assembly. It also can service both hard floors and carpet if that is something you are interested in. Both work like new, and it comes with a replaceable HEPA filter. A used vacuum is around $80-100 on a secondhand marketplace/store, and it’s only $25 to replace the roller and belt yourself (there are guides online), so if you can find a corded Dyson vacuum like the DC33 or similar in good condition, I would highly recommend it.

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.

Dyson, it’s a larger up front cost but I still had one of the old school yellow ones and it’s 20 years old and still going strong. I also have one of their stick vacuums and its awesome abs had that about 6 years now.

I think you should take your wife to a vacuum shop and see if she can try some vacuums. Maybe she will end up liking a bagged vacuum. I'm telling you tho the bagless ones have been crap. The Dyson one I've been using which I thought was good was crap. I will never go back to bagless.
