"They always miss the entire point of a dyson, which is completely convenience. ... I don't want to lug around a bagged vacuum, I don't want to have to plug it in, dyson retains the build & performance but makes it cordless and quiet."
"not heavy or unwieldy"

"I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge."
"being cordless and effective for what I need. ... For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. ... I never would have thought I'd defend a near $1,000 cordless vacuum but I got one as a gift and will never buy anything different now."
"I ’ve been spoiled by cordless vacuuming, especially since my house was built in the 20s and has few options for outlets."

"battery died and I put on an adapter for my Dewalt power tool batteries, lasts a lot longer now!"
"The Dyson battery was internal so you can't swap out a battery if it dies on you."
"I’ve had one for my V8 and it’s lasted longer than the oem now, plus it is a lather capacity battery too."
Dyson got their new pencil vac. Pretty light if that’s your main criteria. We go the gen 5 personally and it’s been good
r/askSingapore • vacuum cleaner recommendations? ->Was gonna second this. I just got it and my six-year-old can vacuum his own room. Not well, but it's light.
r/askSingapore • vacuum cleaner recommendations? ->You can buy replacement batteries for the Dyson for about £20. I've kept a handheld Dyson going for probably 15 years with only two replacements.
r/AskUK • What is the best cordless vacuum for a small house with cats? ->😂😂 my modern equivalent is the handheld Dyson.
r/VacuumCleaners • What would be the modern equivalent of this? ->Dyson - we've had 2 or 3 handhelds. OK day to day for the hard floors and pretty good for carpets occasionally. Fills up quickly and does a better job than our cleaner's vac but eventually bits break. Normally just out of warranty and parts aren't available directly so I end up on ebay. I'm not convinced it's worth the price tag TBH Shark - I'll look at this next time for price point on handhelds Henry - we've had ours for about 15 years. He's done several renovations, sucked up all sorts of horrible stuff including garden waste. That thing is bullet proof and if it eve does go wrong, it's simple enough to fix Miele - I'm going to look at this next time as it gets some good reccos here Father in law likes his Vax
r/HENRYUKLifestyle • Vacuum cleaner recommendations ->I just wipe it all down with a baby wipe. Tiny, excessive crumbs get vacuumed with the handheld Dyson we’ve had for years. But mostly, I can get it all with a wipe.
r/NewParents • What vacuum are we using to clean high chair/floor after eating? ->Great question! You’re probably in the best position to judge, having so much central vac experience. Personally, I have found our central vac to be more powerful than a top level handheld Dyson or a corded Shark so I feel the central vac is worthwhile. But if you’re sick of the hose (or anything else), the Dyson does a comparable job (maybe 85%?) without any cord. It’s easier to maneuver, quicker to take out and put away, but you have to empty frequently and the charge only lasts 12-15 mins! It’s trade offs all around. So maybe it depends on what you wound do instead of repairing? (Also, you can find used central vacs for cheaper than your repair cost if you’re willing to go that route)
r/VacuumCleaners • Replace central vacuum motor or get a regular vacuum? ->Dyson handheld is great for small tasks especially after the battery died and I put on an adapter for my Dewalt power tool batteries, lasts a lot longer now! We have an corded Shark convertible upright for around the house but it’s awful in so many ways. Tries to do lots of things and does none of them very well. When it dies we’ll get a sebo or a miele. We have a hetty for any DIY stuff but we’d never use it around the house as it’s filthy!
r/HENRYUKLifestyle • Vacuum cleaner recommendations ->Nothing wrong with using a shop vac as a regular vaccuum cleaner. it gets the job done. I think they are just designed to work in dirty messy shops, so they are bigger, and maybe don't have as good dust filters on them. When indoors, you want to avoid blowing dust and allergens all over the place by using a vaccuum with a hepatitis filter. You can use a regular vaccuum with hos attachments to suck up cobwebs and clean fan blades and stuff. Yes, we have two vaccuums. actually 3, but who's counting? A Dyson cordless handheld. and a Dyson canister vaccuum. We like having one on each level. I HATE dragging that thing up the stairs.
r/homeowners • Can shop vac be used for indoor cleaning? If not what are its other uses? ->Det finnes en del støvsugere nå som har veldig mye bedre levetid på batteriene enn før (type det er fullt av lithium-polymer batterier på lagrene rundt om kring, så en stapper det billigste inn i dingsen de produserer med et lukket batteri, og.. helt uventet.. så varer det mer enn et par-tre år). Som gjør at en skikkelig, skikkelig plastikk-støvsuger som er helt elendig og ikke er ment å vare i mer enn et år, maks -- egentlig og plutselig og uventet fungerer helt greit. Type, den er sammenliknbar med en elendig plastikk-støvsuger som også fungerer helt greit. Men hvis du ikke støvsuger i Ikea-katalogen eller i en reklamefilm, så bør du ikke velge en poseløs en, eller en uten minst et par utbyttbare filter. For ellers er du ferdig i løpet av en uke. Har en dyson med utbyttbart batteri (få et nytt "autentisk" et, kun 1999,-!) - den er helt grei. På auto, så varer den i en halvtime (og gjør det i et års tid). Den har diverse kammer, børster og ekstrautstyr som er veldig greie og, så hvis du skal ta stuegulvet og sofaen, teppet, og sånne ting, og ikke kaste bort tiden, så er den helt ok. Neppe verdt prisen, men den fungerer. Men - hvis du har en arbeidsstue eller noe pussestøv du vil ha opp - så er den ødelagt på et kvarter. Samme med hvis du ikke behandler den som et følsomt instrument for å måle kvikksølv i grunnvannet på 300 meters avstand - den knekker i filler hvis du ikke er forsiktig, i skjøter og i tilleggene, som bare er plast alt sammen. Og oppsamlertanken får støv under alle foringer, og sånne ting. På den annen side, så går det an å åpne alle børstekammerne, sånn så en virkelig kan rulle med øynene over hvor uendelig mye komplisert med ingeniørkunst de har lagt inn. Er veldig overbevist om at det finnes mange bedre produkter enn en Dyson. Våtstøvsuger/grovstøvsuger - helt fantastisk. Slipper du å skrubbe, bløte og tørke alt mulig rart i en halv uke før det bir tørt og rent. Vask bilen, tørk detaljer og få ut vannet i alle paneler og kanter, sug opp cola-flaska i sofaen, sånne ting. Men å finne en som har nok effekt til å virke bra på et stort munnstykke tror jeg ikke finnes enda - uten å ha en som veier femti kilo og trenger en jekk for å transporteres rundt. Så kombinasjonen "tullestøvsuger i plast på batteri"+ en liten, god våtstøvsuger som fungerer litt spesifikt på flekker (og som ikke er 90% stoff eller papp i filter og slikt.. sjekk at det ikke er det i dem) er kanskje en god ide for å dekke alt. I det minste over en industriell monstersuger, eller diverse ultradyre superstøvsugere til femten ganger prisen. ..jeg mener, du kan kjøpe en kärcher industrigrovstøvsuger og en bosch-ting til samme prisen som en Dyson v15.
