The Tineco Pet Go 303 is not going to solve your problem and it'll add many other problems. The V11 has a pretty nice canister that minimizes the need to do that so I don't really understand what your real "problem" is... with the other ones things get stuck and I just quickly rotate out the inside filter part and back in, or just quickly grab whatever that gets stuck or use a brush. Maybe a Dyson V11 *outsize* would solve your problem and it's within your budget if you get an old beat up one. Based on how it looks, it looks like it'll essentially get rid of your problem with the bigger canister and the general shape of it. I feel like you could "solve" the problem you're describing, ironically by purchasing a much worse vacuum like the Tineco, but only because it'll have trouble picking up all the stuff in the first place for it to even get clogged where you say it gets clogged.
Could you share the rough square footage of your living space and type of flooring? I've got a v11 Outsize with the bigger head, they don't seem to be the best in durability. The stick part can wiggle when attached.
You might want to know, the Sebo K series is designed for smaller homes, it takes a smaller dust bag than the rest of Sebo's line. Not that this should discourage you from getting a K, just to be aware of this. Their E and D lines are what they offer for bigger homes. As a Dyson V11 Outsize owner, I think that Dysons are overpriced, and their build quality is not great for the money. They tend to run on lower suction so as to conserve the battery. Turn up the power level and the battery drains faster. And the dust bin gets and stays dirty as do the inner air passages, I'm always banging the side with the bin open to get the finer stuff out. I bought that Dyson and A Miele Marin within a few months of each other. The Miele suction is far superior and it's quieter than the Dyson. I use the Parquet tool for our bare floors and it will suck up anything with no problem. However, the stick vacuums feel easier to work with. But I've found I prefer the cleaning performance of the Miele and the easier dust bag removal is great. You can't go wrong with either Sebo or Miele if you decide to opt for corded vacuums.
I had a Shark Navigator I believe. The filter under the dust canister would fill up extremely quickly compared to any other vacuum, this was a bagless model. With Dyson I would wash/clean out the filter maybe every 6 months, this thing was once a month. I grew more dissatisfied with it as the accessories were chinzy, the head was like 11 inches(something like that, smaller than my Dyson V11 outsize) and it was loud. So I took it to work, just donated it to the shop and used it there to clean the cement floor. That filter would be full after one use. Disgusting. I had to buy a second filter so I could have one drying while the other was in use. The most useless vacuum I've ever owned and I paid $400 for it. Never again.
No. It wasn't picking up more stuff, just depositing more than it should into the air filter. The Dyson uses its cyclones to filter out the finer dust and deposit it into the middle of the dust bin where the black rubber like coupler is. So its filter stays clean for much longer. The Shark dumps far more into its filters and that's why they get dirty faster. Its an inferior design. Pretty much what elderblaze said...
Pets, kids, and allergies. Aye yi yi! With allergies you should get a Hepa rated vacuum, a sealed hepa system. I was trying to think of a way to suggest an electric bagged vacuum. More suction power, better isolation from the dust. The weak point of bagless stick vacuums is emptying/cleaning the dust bin. I'll suggest Dyson AND my favorite electric bagged vacuum, the Sebo Felix. But you'll probably want the Dyson, so here goes. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute. Make sure you get the one with the fluffy purple and orange brush head. It has a green laser, in dimly lit rooms you can actually see the dust, it's pretty gross. I've got the Dyson V11 outsize with that laser, pretty slick. Anyway, I also have the Felix, 10 year warranty. It has a bare floor head and a motorized carpet brush head, which you'd never use. Dysons won't last 10 years, you might get 5 out of it. If you're okay with that, might as well get the Dyson. They are among the best stick vacuums, and the battery life is as good as any other. The V15 is Hepa, and the kids might even want to use it, bonus!
When you say long term, how long are you hoping for? Because stick vacuums are not engineered to last like a good quality electric vacuum. For instance, Dyson stick vacuums have a 2 year warranty while Sebo vacuums have a 10 year warranty. Do you want to buy a new stick vacuum every 3+ years or would you rather buy once and cry once. I had a Miele that was about 14 years old when I gave it away, still working perfectly.
Ahh, the car environment. I've used uprights, canisters and handhelds on my cars over the years, and it seems like none is ideal. But I found something that works for me at least. It's the idea of bringing a vacuum hose into the car and using several different attachments as needed, including a turbo brush tool for the floor mats. A canister has the longest hose, and it's not collapsable. Put a dust tool or a crevice tool on the end of a hose and I can reach to the other side of the interior, or most of it. The dash, the seats, the console, etc. I prefer this over my $500 Dyson handheld. YMMV.
Dyson v11 outsize, in shocked how much this stock vacuum can pick up even if I've already gone through with it on ordinary wall outlet type vacuums
Der Dyson Service ist 10/10. Habe zwei im Gebrauch. Einen V11 Absolute und einen V11 Outsize. Der Absolute hatte nach ein paar Jahren das Problem, dass der Knopf nicht mehr richtig ging. Garantie war bereits abgelaufen. Dyson hat uns für die Versandkosten einen komplett neuen Korpus (!) geschickt. Einzig den Akku mussten wir noch selber einbauen. Die Sauger sind grade mit Katze echt genial. Würde ich immer wieder kaufen.
My main is a V11 Outsize with the extra battery and I love that thing. It’s like 5-6 years old now and I can get 2 hours or so with both batteries. If it dies I’ll go Miele because I’ve seen too many issues with the newer Dysons. I’ve had no regrets on buying this one though. I’d definitely consider a used one if I knew the batteries were good.
I had the Dyson outsize, it croaked after several months and Dyson didn't have a filter for it, so they upgraded me to the new gen15 outsize. The thing costs about 2x, is more powerful, comes with a second battery and and amazing cloth roller head with a laser light that makes dust and debris glow. Never had a vacuum that worked so well. Return only took about 2 weeks. Very pleased, just hope this one lasts...

I ditched my Dyson Outsized for the Miele C3 Complete. I’ll use the Dyson for quick pickups but I have to increase suction to max to pick up cat litter.
Not here. My Dysons can’t compare with my corded Miele.
Boost mode is good for only 10 minutes and the battery runs out. I can’t even do ½ of the first floor with my Dyson V15 Outlast. Even on boost my Dyson won’t pick up cat litter. One pass & my Miele gets it…at half power.
The Dyson sticks are highly overrated. To obtain adequate suction power, you need to use the high setting but your battery will only run for 10 minutes tops.
yeah i have a v8 and i have a black mouth curs dog, and 2 cats. i was fine before with hardwood floors, and any other stick vacuum….dude once i got to a carpeted place…TRASH. i had a shark professional….but didnt want the cords…annoying. i vacuum almost every other day. Dyson freaking rocked, had it nearly 4-5 years now. the hair from my dogs so thick it fills the canister up with half the living room done. I used to use the upholstery tool directly on my dog she loved it and lays down and shows me her belly when i vacuum lol. I paid 250 refurb for it originally. Dude im not kidding I was not nice to this vacuum. I beat the shit out of it. I break it down and clean it. My son broke the canister once, but i easily ordered parts and got another. I used it to suck up hundreds of dead stink bugs. but people are right on the battery….well. about a year ago they had the dyson outsize for sale cheap, used to be like 8-900. This one has the biggest bin, bigger engine, bigger wider brushes, and the best part, hot swappable batteries. Man its been glorious. Best part is all my attachments fit. My original dyson came with every single one they made. They make a specific dog one now. The dyson outsize also has automatic suction levels or its medium is good enough with a timer on how long it will last. Big improvement over v8. Like i said who cares I got 2 batteries now . Theres no other wireless vacuum ive seen that can do suction that well.
