Dyson - DC40 Origin Multi Floor

Also have a corgi! I use a Sladust Big Wooly dust mop to sweep the hard wood daily. I shake it out on my area rug and have a Dyson DC40 to vacuum the hair off the rug, it works great! I am a big fan of Sladust and The Wool Shop products for dry mopping pet hair!

Well you’re going to have the same sort of problems with Shark, they’re worse. Mine wasn’t even meant to have the brushroll removed and cleaned, found that out the hard way. That’s basic maintenance for a vacuum, especially when you have pets and humans with long hair. Shark wanted me to buy a whole new powerhead, lol. Good thing my dad and I are handy and jerry-rigged the Shark back together. My mom bought two Dysons. A (I think) DC40 then one of the pet ones with a ball. They were both crap too. The switched kept going out, luckily our vacuum shop doesn’t gouge people on repairs. I took my commercial Sanitaire (not suggesting this beast to average consumers), but the amount of sand it pulled out of her carpet was fascinating. So the Dysons were just sweeping the surface of her carpet. I’m sure the people here will recommend either a Miele or a Sebo. Other good vacuums exist too. I mainly collect and repair older vacuums as a hobby. So I’m not the one to ask. I do know bagged is better and cleaner than bagless, and direct air cleans deeper than a bypass machine. Air flow is what cleans, not suction.

I have 13 year old DC40 that had been amazing. Bought a V15 a couple years ago to go cordless and it feels like the future.

I have a Dyson with the ball design from like 2013, it was around $300-400 and it’s still going strong. My only complaint is it’s big and we now have more hardwood floors where we used to have carpet. It is just bulky but it works really great, it’s been used to clean at least weekly or more than that for all these years.

We had the Dyson Ball vacuum (corded) and absolutely hated it. It worked terrible, was heavy and just wasn't good. We did regular maintenance on it too. It just was crap. Since then, we've replaced it with shark vacs. We keep one on each floor of the house so we don't have to continually carry them up and down stairs. They work great. I also recently got a handheld cordless shark vac and it is AWESOME. We have some awkward spaces in our home that a vacuum never really fit in so the cordless hand vac does the job. With 4 cat, I vacuum regularly. I use a Fuller hoky (manual sweeper) daily and it works great too!

I have a Dyson ball, the one where the main unit rolls on the floor and you have the handpiece connected with a hose, has served me well for 6 years no issues. Easy to clean and empty. I see a lot of people recommended Miele here, never tried them but they use bags, I don't like those types

I got a Dyson ball 5 years ago because I have a golden retriever and now a cat, it still works amazingly well. It’s shocking how much hair it picks up that we don’t notice. Bought and cordless one too

The ball version Dyson is a beast. I purchased a Dyson stick V10 and was very disappointed with both battery life and performance.

I will never buy another Dyson product again after owning a Dyson ball…

Whoever has those Dysons clearly doesn’t have multiple long-haired, double coated pets running around. I had the stick and the ball versions and both barely lasted a year
