Omni-glide™

I have been using dyson omniglide for 3 years now(it's discontinued now i guess). It's the most slim and light weight version available. But all these are to be done manually by us. If you need regular cleaning for floors robot vacuum does a good job, provided we put atleast in the 50k+ range with good suction power. If Manual clenaing is the choice, so many brands are now available. But I can only vouch for Dyson. Any thing goes wrong within warranty the specific part will be fully replaced or even the entire machine sometimes. Their service is so good. If light weight is the priority try with v12 slim. If raw power is a priority consider other models(v8,v11 etc) but so does the weight that comes with it. At times it feels heavier on long usage time. Also there might a model named "pencil" released in future, if you're okay to wait for it.

I love my Shark vacs! Even more than my purple (fave color) Dyson. I do have a Kirby, too, but it’s a monster. It’s not super easy to change the attachments. I keep it downstairs for heavy cleaning, but use my Shark and attachments downstairs for the corners, steps, etc.

Get an older Dyson stick, if you're deal minded For pet hair.. they just work.

probably anything v8 or newer. There are a lot now

I have used both corded and cordless vacuums over the years. The dyson stick vacuum was a jump start to grab n go vacuum around the house but now I find myself using a cheap but powerful corded vacuum all the time around the house. Nothing beats the suction of a corded vacuum. The vast majority of vacuum advertisements is for battery powered vacuum but the best vacuums are plugged in. A shop vac for example can suck up anything that fits in the 2.5 inch hose. Vacuuming a car with a shop vac is very satisfying especially when it sucks up tissues wrapper junk rock etc.

The hose attachment on my upright corded vacuum is where it really shines. Sucks the crumbs, junk, hair from tiny corners with max power. Stick vacuums lack power especially when the carpet attachment is removed

With the dyson stick cordless, the battery can be replaced. We did so on ours after 8ish years and it is like new.

When our battery started to go I had no idea it could be replaced. Needless to say I was very excited, lol

My husband ordered and exchanged it. I dont recall it being a pain in the ass. There seems to be 2 screws.
