Light Ball Origin Upright Vacuum

I got a Dyson Light Ball around a decade ago. Idk exactly when, can’t remember but it’s whenever the Light Ball first came out. I clean the filters monthly and it still works like a dream. I also have a Shark Duo something or other, it’s the Shark with the soft brush roll in addition to the regular brush roll. If I go over my carpet with the Shark and then immediately follow it with the Dyson, the Dyson picks up more in the second pass than the Shark did in the first So I just use my Shark for my hard floors and the Dyson for my carpet, since the Shark is better for hard floors due to the soft brush roll I think a **corded** Dyson is very well worth it

Their early models perform much better than current offerings; if they restarted production of the DC07 or DC14/15, I’d totally buy one! Wouldn’t even consider a current Dyson though; the stark contrast in quality between a DC15 and UP16 is blatantly obvious, favouring the older model.

I bought a refurbished Dyson Ball light, brilliant, easy to move and not too heavy. I have three cats and while it’s not perfect, using in combination with a lint roller is great!

That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.

I have 2 broken shark lift away navigators one so far is just the head replacement and the other is the hose to the vacuum elbow connector but I can't tell if it includes the hose. Then I have an orange ball dyson I can figure out how to engage the beater bar. I bought the navigators refurbished. One lasted years the other more recent 1 lasted maybe a year. They keep making them so much less quality it seems. What can I do with these vacuums? I literally got a vacuum graveyard growing in my living room.

Canister vacuum: Dyson cinetic big ball (no maintainance) / Dyson big ball (filter to maintain) Both have hygienic bin emptying (your finger doesnt go near the waste disposal area) It’s easy to reach around due to the extendable wand. Upright: Dyson ball upright vacuum (any) theyre easy to maintain, they have hygienic bin emptying, and they have a long wand on the back thats easy to use with the on board tools. Cordless: Dyson v12 (it’s small and uses a button power system, easy to manoeuvre) / Dyson gen5 (it’s normal size, uses a power button system and had a built in crevice and dusting brush combo). Both have hygienic bin emptying

Shark, if you can get them in Ireland. I also have an upright Dyson ball, definitely not worth what it costs, suction is great and has stayed like that, but it pretty much lacks in all other areas, especially usability.
