"The no bag is a feature for some of us not a defect. ... I dont make a mess emptying it vs making a mess swapping bags - cause I overfill it. That's a me thing but it's a consistent me thing and I dont have to worry about it with the Dyson."
"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 love the dyson stick vacuum for quick pickups."

"I use to vacuum->chom chom->vacuum to get the long cat hair up, but the Dyson does a great job without all of that. ... My anxiety about vacuuming cat hair has softened quite a bit as a result."

"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."
"I've never run out of charge on my stick vac. ... It will go for about 45 minutes or so. ... I'm never vacuuming for nearly that long."
"Good enough run time"

"I also used my Dyson stick vacuum for my 1000sf house, cleaned weekly plus as-needed clean ups. It’s still going strong 5+ years later."

"terrible when something goes wrong. ... We used to just write them off if it was anything more than a blockage. ... Dyson are also very difficult to deal with to get parts etc. ... sourcing the parts for the customer and general support."
"The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it."
"My cordless Dyson lasted 3 years. ... not worth having to replace every 3 years"

"The thing would not suck up the bigger chunks of dog hair on hard floors bc the head sits too close to the ground, so it ends up pushing bigger debris out of the way. ... I kept having to lift it up then drop it on top of the chunks of hair to suck it up. ... Sometimes it would kick the dog hair out instead of sucking it up. ... I was getting so mad and was very tempted to drive 20 minutes to my place for my Shark."

"the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared."
"the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs ... I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs"
"If our girl was ever on carpet I’d get a corded version"
