"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."
"It's light enough for my 66-year-old worn-out self to handle."

"And despite how gimmicky the green light thing may look it really does work amazingly well for hardwoods with pet hair."
"I have not touched the Miele since I got the V15 a year ago. ... handles pet hair way better than the old tangle-free turbine head ... since the V15 will get all the pet hair"
"Mine sheds consistently so the lightness and suction power makes it easy to do a few quick pickups a day vs long, thorough cleans that last all of 2 hrs."

"That Lazer thing it has seems so gimmicky but it's an absolute life changer. ... It seemed like a gimmick but it's absolutely not. It's a very helpful feature."
"hardwood floor attachment also has a green light to show particles which I thought was a gimmick, but it turns vacuuming into a game like Mario Sunshine and I love it."

"Cordless with enough power to actually clean and capacity to finish a job are a big deal. ... I'll say the v15 is a beast. ... And I'll never go back to a corded vacuum after having one."

"theyre the only ones that have lasted months instead of mere days like other brands. ... They are worked HAAAARD and they still work great. ... Every other brand thats been put in our hands has broken in a few days or couple of weeks, so the company splurged for the good ones and they have probably already paid for themselves."
"I've replaced like every part except the motor in my Dyson stick vacuum over the last 10+ years and it works great. ... Being able to get cheap replacement parts is a huge benefit"
"Bought a $20 battery on Amazon last year and it runs like a champ."

"The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it."
"always clogging"
"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 dust bin broke 3 times. ... The wand broke 3 times. ... The red clip button broke 4 times. ... The battery broke once."
"My cordless Dyson lasted 3 years. ... not worth having to replace every 3 years"
"It has no suction power unless you go into turbo mode, which is still average at best, but then the time you can use it goes down to 5 mins or less."

"Dyson Detect is crap. ... Worst $1k I ve ever spent. ... Get a Miele if you want to actually CLEAN."
"For the price I paid, $700, it does not feel like a $700 machine. ... For $700 I expect good quality, and I expect it to not break like it does."
"It didn't last nearly as long as the price tag suggested it should."

"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"

"I hate to hold pressing the power button all the time."
"I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming."
"My v15 detect has been nothing but problems. ... I was having an issue where I would start the vacuum and it would cut power. Repress the trigger it would run for another few seconds then cut power. ... the first time they sent a new battery. It made the problem even worse."
