i’ve owned and abused my Dyson v11 torque drive. never gave me any issues. recently bought the dyson gen 5 outsize. it’s way bigger and heavier than my old dyson. moving it on carpet can be difficult if you can’t figure out the angle at which it works best. both my dyson filters are Hepa certified and although it blows air from the top, it doesn’t release particulates into ur house. so ur allergies must be from ur house still being dirty. get a air purifier and vacuum more often. i love my dyson and would never get anything other than it. works perfect for my use case. you may need a self propelled cordless vacuum. those are expensive if they even exist and if they do, they are most likely corded

I just returned the Dyson V11 despite the fact that it had the strongest suction power of any cordless vacuum we've tried, and it's because of the trigger, which also makes it difficult to maneuver. The fact that they haven't created a vacuum with an on and off button is pretty ridiculous. Not worth $400+.

I just got the v11 plus for $399 on sale. It definitely has better suction power than the v10. So I wouldn't pay that price for the 10 whatsoever. Either way, I'm returning mine. Even though the suction power is fantastic, it's hard to maneuver (likely because it suctions so well) and hate that it doesn't have an on and off button like other cordless vacuums. Instead, you have to press the button the entire time as you're vacuuming. That, combined with it being top heavy, makes it a no-go for me. Search Vacuum Wars videos on YT for recommendations.

I have a v11 Dyson pet stick vac. It has an attachment that essentially turns it into a handheld that I can use on the couch. I have a golden retriever and I love that thing.

Dyson all day, try and find models of v11+ on fb marketplace for roughly £100

I mean, the dyson is good for picking up like visual dirt and debris on the ground if you don’t feel like pulling out the Felix. That’s about it though. The SEBO will be better at almost everything else except convenience.

Don’t go cordless. I had a Dyson stick V11 for maybe 5 years. It started out great then the battery died quicker and quicker. To get proper suction I had to move to boost mode which drains the battery even faster. My home is 1700 sq ft mostly carpet. 2 batteries couldn’t get the entire home cleaned towards the end. I went with a sebo Felix. About 100 to 150 more than your budget. It is a beast on carpet but needs some accessories to be really useful on stairs. I would stick with corded for the best most consistent suction.

I just got rid of my old Dyson stick because of this issue. Had to use two batteries to vacuum my ~1,700 sq ft house. No matter what you pick stick with corded.
