Digital Slim (SV57)

I have one slim v11? 13? Maybe, idk. Apparently there is a bad capacitor on the board tha I can cheaply replace but in the meantime I picked up a v15 from Amazon refurbished. $300 and it works great just a little heavy. At some point I’ll pull apart the smaller one and repair it. I really like these machines even though the battery life does decline. I got 3 years out of the little one and we are not easy on it. It would’ve filled nearly daily with two boys and two dogs.

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.

I have a Dyson Fluffy, which was designed for hard surface cleaning. It takes up very little room for storage and came with several attachments to choose from. Two of those are powered roller brush heads, one that is wider for floors and one that is only about 4 inches wide, which would work well for you on the outer perimeter of your area rugs. You can use the stick while standing up and vacuuming, or remove the stick and attach the head directly to the vacuum for a handheld doing those stairs, the interior of your car, etc.

We have a German Shepherd Collie mix, and he sheds so much! We also had a white cat that shed a lot of visible hair. The hair becomes tumbleweeds on the floor. We purchased a robot vacuum that runs once a day, and we also have a Dyson with a special, fluffy brush designed to pick up pet hair. It's amazing! We also have a big lint roller brush that is not the plastic one, it's like velcro and picks up any fur on you or furniture. The dog sleeps on the bed with us, so I lint roll it once a day! If you have carpets, get a soapy bucket and rubber gloves and scrape the glove over the carpets or use a brush, it's amazing for getting rid of a lot of inbedded hair. Try that at least once a month. I hope this all helps you x

Newer dysons and shark have tangle free brush bars and there actually work!
