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.

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 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.

Dyson’s bagless models are pretty decent and the attachments cover a lot of bases. Shark is a more budget friendly but less durable manufacturer, but still quality for the buck.

I'll be honest I had the bagless Miele and it kinda sucked (in that it didn't suck!), my bagless Dyson is much better. If I were to get another canister Miele it'd have to be bagged.
