I've lost count of how many body/canister clips I've 3D printed for friends and family vs. how many I've used tape to hold their appliances together. I had a roommate once who wanted to toss her DC35 because the clip was broken. A few feet of filament later, fixed.
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 cant give you a recommendation but can tell you what NOT to get. Don't get a Dyson. I've stupidly gotten 3. 2 cordless animals and they've been terrible. Our 2nd just died after maybe 2 years and during thst time, all it did was get clogged, sputter, and push hair around. It wouldnt ever suck it up. Its actually astounding. Out of pure stupidity, we bought them multiple times, partly because we bought one of their original first Gen cordless, so we excused its poorness. Now, we bought a new one many years later. Just the same, better battery power. If you find a good cordless vacuum let me know. We too are now in the market, AGAIN.
Of course not. They are the most overrated, overpriced, poorly made vacuums of all time imo. Ive bought 2 of them, they both died in 18mo and probably worked halfway decent for 5. First one was a corded one, 2nd was cordless animal.
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
This right here. It doesn't matter that a corded vacuum is more efficient or better or whatever if I'm not gonna want to use it regularly. Miles (my Dyson) is always right there and ready to go.
Han den Dyson Slim und bin damit zufrieden
My vyměnili klasický vysavač od ETA za tyčový Dyson. Dyson nemá ani polovinu sacího výkonu, co měla ETA a přitom nám celý byt vysaje mnohem lépe. Rozhodně se ke klasice už nikdy nevrátím. Baterie je plně dostačující na naše 3+1 se 74 m2, z čehož máme dvě místnosti s kobercem (tam to žere baterii mnohem více), kdy nám po vysátí zbývá asi 25 %, takže je pravda, že na nějaký rodinný dům bych s tím váhal, ale neoznačoval bych to za hračku - to by se za hračku dalo označit vše, co není profesionální průmyslový vysavač.
