Dyson - DC35 Multi Floor Digital Slim

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.

> I own 3 (oldest is around 15 years old) and they’re reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to repair. I've owned two DC35's, the OEM batteries were expensive, hard to source and went bad (very shortened life) way too quickly. The third party ones weren't any better. Maybe it's gotten better, this was over 10 years ago. I switched to a much cheaper Shark Duo that had an easy to swap battery with external charger that's performed as well as the Dyson did ever since.

Again it was over 10 years ago, and it's probably different now, but third party were not easy to find and the one I found performed as poorly or worse. My point was really that the Dyson cost 3x more and performed about the same as the Shark so "I swear you've over paid" was accurate in my experience.

I bought the digital slim from target. It came with one brush roller head which Dyson said will scratch hardwood floors. My floors were just redone so I need a soft roller. I called Dyson 5x and each time got different and mostly incorrect info. They told me they had a soft roller attachment for floors. Then the $100+ attachment they said would work they said would NOT fit my model. I love the vacuum- it’s light and goes for an hour+ without recharging. I took a chance and before returning it, I ordered a soft roller head from Amazon that did not say it worked with the digital slim model - but it looked like it might work. It worked!!! It even has a light so you can see the dust on the floor. Dyson customer service and communication sucks, but I am happy with the product and the $34 soft roller head for wood floors that I bought online

Han den Dyson Slim und bin damit zufrieden

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.

You want a bagged vacuum. I've had a Dyson, a Bissell, a Dyson knock off, the LG A9, the Miele Duoflex - all bagless and all very loud. My cats will scatter if I turn them on. My bagged Miele on the other hand... they don't even bother getting up from their naps.

Henry. Used a couple of dysons/bag less after they’d been retired for an upgrade in the house vac. Polyfilla dust, brick dust just kills them eventually.

my Dyson filter you just rinse and swap out. I like how easy it’s to pull apart and wash

Mine is way older than 5 years. Still manages to try and eat socks with alarming accuracy. I only had to change the battery out. I give her a blast of air and a good wash every few months and she’s running great. she deals with sand on a regular basis and cat and dog fur.

you can get third part add ons that let you use big drill batteries

honestally the third party battery add ons give you so much more, even swapping the battery out for a bigger one gives more juice

I got third party battery add on. I do bottom house, charge then upstairs. got third party filters so I can change and wash each time

I got Dyson and I love it. she does hard and soft floors, she’s light enough for cob webs, car cleaning, you can lower the suck so if you spill crumbs at night it’s quiet. you can get unbranded acsessories so I got alsorts of things to help clean cars, keyboards, I got clips for the tube to hold more nozzles, I got a big bendy tube so stairs is a breeze. the filters are washable, I got a load of unbranded so I can swap them out more often. any breakages you can buy most spare parts online which is super handy also you just twist the end and the rollerbar pops out which makes long hair cleaning so easy. I used to hate sitting on the floor with sicciors cutting hair off the bar. I don’t miss trailing cables or the bulk of the Hoover.

I call my Dyson an electric broom. Great for light cleaning but I count on my Rainbow to do the heavy lifting.

Ryobi’s parent company also owns Hoover. I think the future of cordless vacuums is going to look a lot more like the power tool model. One battery platform, many tools. The Dyson model of one battery (which may or may not be in stock on our website), one vacuum is obsolete.

We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.
