Dyson - V15s Detect Submarine

V15 submarine. It to great vacuum with a good motorized swiffer. Worth if you can get it during a sale.

Yup v15 has been great for a couple years so far. I don’t care if it doesn’t last forever, I’ll buy another. Peoples opinion on Dyson is based on the old ass one with weak performance.

Dyson V 15 and Sebo owner with two super hairy shorthairs living in a cement floored warehouse with lots of Turkish area rugs. Not sure what your obviously perfect feline does but life with my kitties has its challenges. They are dirt attractants to say nothing of the charms of litter in bare fee. Couldn’t live without the instant availability of a cordless and the 15 is a solid performer in all areas. My rugs do look cleaner after a full Sebo experience but I’m lazy and place is big. I have come to realize you need more than one vacuum, unless you have only one flooring type , don’t have to carry up stairs or navigate a labyrinth of hallways and live in under 1000sq ft.

I LOVE our Dyson V15, however, I definitely don't think it is 'buy it for life.' I don't see it being a durable piece of equipment and lasting many years. Pieces of it have come flying off apparently with no way to fix (cosmetic things, thankfully). However, it is amazing.

I know this topic comes up often and it's always said that a cordless vacuum isn't BIFL. But damn if the Dyson V15 isn't life changing for me. I actually *like* vacuuming now. Lugging the cannister and cord around of my old vacuum room to room was such a chore. It's just so much easier and I like their little gimmick of showing how much dirt it's captured. Bought mine refurbished for a nice price and had it for around 1.5 years now. Granted I've never tried a Miele before, but I only have hardwood floors and a few spot rugs so I don't think I'd never the extra power or whatever else advantages it brings. Especially at the expense of lugging the cannister around with me.

That Lazer thing it has seems so gimmicky but it's an absolute life changer.

We have: Roomba - Used 2/3 times a week between cleaner being here. Only does downstairs. Had this for many years, would definitely replace it when it breaks, maybe with one that mops and empties itself. Dyson V15 cordless - wall mounted for easy jobs and quick zip around. It has the green laser so it makes it easy to see where to clean. It's really good, buttttt....It doesn't last super long though, and I'm not impressed by the battery. Used by us and our cleaner. If it broke I would probably buy a replacement. Dyson Animal corded - Super powerful, but a bit cumbersome. Mostly used by our cleaner. Has this for nearly a decade I think. Very good investment. If it broke I might not replace and leverage the other two.

The v15 (and more previous gens) has a big flaw in the v wheels in its motorized brush. Breaking it takes almost zero effort but replacing it is a freaking pain

I got a v15 detect for $500 at costco. Insanely good vaccuum so far. It has a replaceable battery which should come in handy as Ive seen the batteries go bad with older dysons.

We have a V15 and so far it’s been faultless, if you keep the filters clean and close the shutter on the cleaner head (some of them have a + - slider on it, slide it to ensure the shutter is closed when on carpet for maximum suction. I clean the filter once a month and it sucks hard enough that my partner struggles to push it along the floor.

some areas of WDW resort custodial use the Dyson V15's and I gotta be honest, 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 think most people buying vacuums aren’t treating or looking at them as BIFL. Vacuum techs are going to crap on anything difficult to repair/maintain while your average consumer is only going to see the end result. I’ve owned a Hoover upright, shark upright, Dyson upright, and now 2 different Dyson sticks including the v15. I would never buy a canister vacuum due to what I deem as an inconvenience in pulling it around everywhere. When we owned a house with majority carpet the Dyson and Shark uprights were great. We have dogs and their brush roll was incredible at picking up pet hair. Our current house is primarily hardwoods and we still have dogs. The V15 is amazing, super light, and convenient. And despite how gimmicky the green light thing may look it really does work amazingly well for hardwoods with pet hair. It does ok on carpet and rugs but the old canisters feel like they would for sure outperform it. I don’t really expect a lifetime out of my vacuum especially if I’m buying a $150 Shark. If I get several years I’m pretty happy as the repair bill is near the cost of the Vacuum - it’s almost like the printers whose ink refills was more expensive than a new printer.

Cordless with enough power to actually clean and capacity to finish a job are a big deal. Beyond that, everything else is a very distant second. I'll say the v15 is a beast. And I'll never go back to a corded vacuum after having one.

For my use with only hard floors,a small space and tons of heavy spot cleaning, having cordless mobility isn't optional. And I find it does a better job than the Dyson ball I used to have. Like most things the 'best' choice is extremely dependent on the specifics of use. There's no circumstance where a corded vacuum would ever be in consideration for me, so while I'm sure Miele makes excellent vacuums, they'll never work for me. That said, I only got it because it was on sale and at Costco. The full price is eye watering and a bit demented.

I mean the v15 is actually good. I had a animal at one point and that thing was crap

Shark power detect all the way, I had a Dyson v15 and was constantly having to reach into it and dig the dust out. The shark power detect is like $300 cheaper and honestly way better

Funny enough I just made a similar post but geared towards Sharks in specific. Like I understand that people want a professional vacuum, for some reason. In my opinion I feel like you only really need one of those big professional vacuums if you're cleaning for a living. Most people up would do fine with a battery-powered stick vacuum that hangs up and charges and you can just take down and use whenever you need to use it and then hang it back up when you're done. I bought an expensive canister vacuum and then ended up hating it because I was constantly having to lug it out and plug it in and do all these extra steps so I never really ended up using it. But then I got a stick vacuum and I use it everyday now because it's way more convenient and I think that that's what most people want. I understand the need for a large plug-in bagged vacuum for once in a while use or if you're a house cleaner but for the majority of people a stick vacuum is more than good.

Yeah also among the cordless vacuums there is this Dyson elitism which is so silly to me. I had a Dyson V15 and was constantly having to reach in the vacuum to pull the dust out. I returned it for a Shark that was $300 cheaper and came with a dock that empties itself and charges it. Also it intelligently switches from hard to soft floors, on my Dyson I had to put a separate head on it. I will say I only have carpet on my stairs and the rest of my 2000 sq ft home is hard floors. For someone with a lot of carpet maybe the cord and bag really has a place but for me I'm more than happy with a stick vacuum. When Miele goes on sale I will buy one just for days when I want to deep clean because you can get the C1 on sale for under $300

Dyson v15 works fantastic, got the green light on hard floor head, so I vac in the dark and see all hair and dirt. Carpet head works a treat, Power head is great for stairs and the car. Only downside is being cordless has limited run time so I alternate days I vacuum up and down stairs or give a few hours to charge up It replaced my previous Dyson v7 wich worked great when i bought my house, shortly after getting my heeler it just couldn't cope. lol

its a bit ridiculous but I have the Dyson v15 and I love it. I bought it because of their pet brush technology, mainly, I have very long hair and have destroyed a lot of vacuums with the tangling (iykyk). maybe there are dupes, but i really don't regret it and use it almost every day.

I own Dyson V15 and I don’t understand how people who have it hype about it. The only way to describe it is that it’s a toy vacuum cleaner not unlike the ones kids play house with. 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.

Just picked up a v15 and using it on hard wood and carpet. Was shocked by how much it picked up from the carpet.

Dyson is the worst built vacuum cleaner out there.  I was shocked to discover that Shark appear to be better made and they are not even that good.  Dyson have a design fault with the wheels snapping off on the V15 and Gen5 models and Dyson refuse to modify the design to stop it from happening.  Their outsourced Indian contact centre is not very good and customer service has gone down hill!  I don’t want another Dyson and I’ve had Dyson since 1999!

I love my Dyson v15. I have a long haired cat and often I end up vacuuming after her twice a day. It’s just easier running around with a cordless, and it picks up so much hair. I had a v7 before this one and when I upgraded I vacuumed with the 7 and then the 15 just to see the difference. Couldn’t believe how much extra hair the 15 picked up. I did have an issue with the submarine head but they sent me a new one with no fuss.

My Miele C3 fails to vacuum newfie hair from carpets but my Dyson v15 manages it perfectly! Even from fluffy and sisal rugs. With both the Total and pet hair attachments.

Dyson v15 detect with both fluffy and total attachments! This is what I have and really love to use. I also have a Miele C3 which is an acceptable vacuum in this group, but I really only like to use the Dyson v15. The Dyson even vacuums all the newfoundland dog hairs from sisal carpets which Miele miserably fails to do. As a bonus I like to vacuum dust and crap from sofas and tabletops and ceilings etc. which I would never do with Miele. So I recommend you go for v15. I have older Dyson models as well and cannot recommend those.

I see the appeal of a stick. I have a V15. It’s about 3 yrs old. It’s primary role is for in-between cleans, small messes. Touch-ups. But, if I am going to vac our main living areas or the entire house, I can get the job done a lot faster with my Miele. If I am going to deep clean the carpet, I don’t pre-vac with my V15. I use my Kirby. If I am going to detail a vehicle, Miele. If I am going to use attachments for deep cleaning, Miele.

Funny. Have a Dyson V15 and hate that thing. Underpowered, always clogging. Got a cheap, lightweight plug-in Shark and love that thing. Handles everything and never complains. My only point being life rarely provides one right answer. Hope everyone finds their BIFL.

I have an older Shark and a newer Dyson V15. The Shark is corded, but it is awesome and powerful.  The Dyson is great but it's more for smaller jobs.  The tank is so small and the battery doesn't last long for big messes in high power mode.  I would look at Shark models if I were in the market to solve your problem.

I gave up on Dyson after seeing damage to my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. The fluffy head sits too close to the floors on the laser side. As it moves back and forth, it sometimes scrapes the beveled edges. Exchanged one V15 after that happened, thinking it was just that one that was defective. Second one ended up doing the same, and the canister seal broke after a month. Returned to Costco, never will buy another Dyson. Just bought a Sebo K3 which comes with a parquet floor brush which is gentle on hardwood floors.

I have to agree with this. Returned my V15 because the fluffy brush was not gentle on my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. Bought a Sebo which is gentle on my wood floors as it comes with a nice parquet floor brush.

I had a Dyson V15, and the fluffy head was not gentle on my hickory wood floors!

Our Dyson V15 works great, haven't regretted the purchase at all. Super convenient to use, super easy to empty, saying that as someone with ADHD who absolutely despises cleaning. Battery life is great for our 2B2B home, can go over all the floors about twice after fully charging. We don't have pets, but my partner and I both have very long hair that gets everywhere and it's been great with that. Our home is half carpet and half engineered hardwood, so it's great it comes with different heads for different floorings. I have a love-hate relationship with the fluffy optic cleaner head that lights up dust, because on one hand it's so satisfying to see the dust and then see it get vacuumed up, but it also shows all the scratches on the floor left by construction lol.

I swapped C3 with Dyson v15, apart from being portable, Dyson is definitely worse in every category.

I think the main take away is bags. The canister is a messy hassle to empty. It's my only real complaint with my Dyson v15.

My husband bought a v15 Dyson with all the attachments. It's nice but emptying the bin after every other use is annoying. Cleaning the after filter is messy and annoying. Blowing out the cyclone part of the filter is messy AF. And for people who live in apartments or similar would be impossible. However my Kirby is self propelled and I get about 2-3 months on a bag. Belts last forever and it has huge amounts of suction. Like it lifts the carpet up kind of suction. And I don't have to worry about running out of battery or hurting the battery.

Nah. I have a Dyson v15 and it takes care of dust and dog hair just fine. With that being said I'm currently looking at a sebo felix because I have a self control problem.

Dyson V15 is a good choice

We have the v15 had for over a year now and it's been fantastic. Never knew we had so much dirt lodged in the carpet. Battery life is still more than enough to clean the whole fairly big sized house

Terrible price. Go to Dyson official ebay store or Dyson website and get a refurbished. Can get the new v15 for that price which is wayyy better V11 is like 250 which is a huge improvement on the v10 as well

This feels like I wrote this. The exact same has happened to me with my V15.

I know it's not even close to being on the list, but the LG CordZero A949 (with the charging/emptying base and power mop) is ffuuucking awesome. I ordered it and the Dyson v15 at the same time and returned the Dyson. Yes, the Dyson was better one-on-one if you only compare the suction and pure vacuuming power. But the adaptability and multi-functionality of something like the LG is just amazing for my house (1350 sqft house, usually end up using one of the two batteries for a quick clean).

My Dyson v15 was the best purchase I've ever made. I love that fucking bastard.

The v15 is a powerhouse. I use a v7 for my hard floors and low pile carpet. I finish up the carpet with a hoover powerdash pet and I finish up the hard floors with a hoover floor mate deluxe. I use either of my dyson for dusting surfaces, then I come back with a microfiber or swiffer.

We have the dyson V15 and love it. Our house is mostly hard surfaces but having the guide light shows you how much hair builds up in a short time and it has great suction and a good battery life.

Honestly, don't buy the Dyson V16. I bought it and just sent it back. The new brush is terrible. It doesn't vacuum properly on hard floors or carpets. The Dyson Gen5 performs much better. Otherwise, the V15 is excellent value for money.

We got the Dyson V15 (not technically EU though). It cost a lot but it is amazing. It’s packed with two batteries, it’s not very heavy and it has long enough battery life so I can vacuum the whole house in one go. My spouse works for a competitor so the first cordless vacuum cleaner we got was one from her company and it was clunky and heavy and it broke down after half a year. Then I decided to go premium and I have not been disappointed.

I was a Dyson Animal ball vacuum fan but durability became an issue. I love the Dyson V15 for our hard surface floors. Bought a Sebo Felix last year and it does great on carpet. However, it’s a heavy machine compared to Dyson, Shark, etc. As a CR subscriber for decades I can attest to a decline in their rating quality. It may be that their shift to algorithms that weight other factors differently.

We have Dyson V15 and it works great

So far I really love my V15, but I'm more of a hardwood floor, living room rug and car interior cleaner. I've only ever had extremely shitty vacuums before this, though, so maybe my standards are low. But it gets my cat's fur right out of the rug and is very useful for nooks and crannies. Maybe the green light thing is a gimmick but it helps me spot crap on the floor I would not see otherwise. I believe I bought it in March of '22. So far no issues (knock on wood).

We have a Dyson V15 with a special head (??) for animal hair. Pros: cordless, fits nicely on a wall and is recharged, sucks fantastic, easy to clean, knock off filters work Cons: expensive, small reservoir, quite heavy

My Dyson v15 does a very good job on the the hardfloors. I use it multiple times a day as I have little kids and dogs. It is fantastic to just pull it off the wall and quickly clean the floors. My Miele C3 comes out on the weekend for a deep clean, especially the carpet and furniture. If I didn't have carpet I'd probably have gotten a C1. For the charge, my house is similar size but 50/50 carpet and hardfloors and the V15 has no issue cleaning it all in a single charge. Not sure how quickly it recharges TBH since when I'm done it stays in the charger for at least several hours before I need it again.

I love my V15, it's surprisingly powerful for a stick. I use it everyday to touch up the whole house, so easy to just pop off the wall and go. On the weekend my Miele C3 comes out for the deep clean.

Shark cordless vacuum cleaners are not a type I would recommend. For the price, they have things about them that make them worse than a lot of the competition such as poor build quality and single cyclones. As for cordless, Dyson and LG, and sometimes Samsung, still make the leading mainstream ones in the United States. For Dyson, the V11 to current models are the best on carpet. The V8 is affordable, but lacks the run time and overall power to do a stellar job on carpet, at least in my opinion. Something such as the V15 smokes the heck out of a V8 and even a V10. Even the V12 is decent enough and good if you want something little and lightweight while still being powerful.

I have a Dyson V15 and love it. It's light enough for my 66-year-old worn-out self to handle. However, I have a small 1000sqft condo with wood flooring and some scattered rugs, so it's not as hard on the battery as all-over carpeting would be. Plus, I alternate vacuuming different rooms on different days of the week. I don't think I could do my whole place on just one charge. If I had a larger space, especially with all-over carpeting, I would not expect this Dyson to be able to handle it over the long haul. I bought it last year, so I guess I'll find out how long it will last. If it doesn't last, it'll be a Miele for me. For ease of use, I am completely sold on cordless stick vacuums.

This sub HATES Dyson so you’re not getting a fair representation.. the v15 is one of the highest rated / awarded models and is an excellent machine

I have Miele C1 and Dyson V15. We use Miele when more suction is needed and Dyson for light duty tasks

I never thought I would consider vacuuming an enjoyable process but the V15 made it possible.

Kjøpte først en Roborock H6 Mace i kombo med robotstøvsuger og elsket den, helt til Kina-batteriet kapitulerte etter halvannet år og det tok evigheter å bestille nytt og var vanskelig å bytte. Kjøpte derfor Dyson V15 i mellomtiden og det er en helt annen verden, elsker den og bruker den daglig. Den er dyr, men jeg føler den er verdt pengene. Batteriet (ut i fra internett) holder i 4-7 år avhengig av bruk, og byttes med et enkelt klikk. Spesielt med barn og dyr i hus er trådløs best. Hadde jeg hatt støvsuger jeg drar etter meg hadde jeg støvsugd sikkert 1-2 ganger i mnd.

Idk man. I read reviews and Reddit posts for weeks and noticed reddit has an extreme bias towards sebo and Miele canister vacuums. But I didn't really get it, as so many of these models don't even come with a power head for carpets unless you get the tip top model, they have similar suction as a quality stick that runs on battery (Dyson v15 for example), they have the same level of filtration as a stick with no need to purchase bags, and they're harder to use (at least in smaller homes like mine). Most of the time these vacuums don't come with a powered carpet cleaner head, or you need the premium hard floor head, and don't get me started on the 24 different variations of packs with differing attachments and pieces using coded names like the STB-305-3 (wtf man). Tell me why the fuck this has to exist: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EhG-SIwgp6E/maxresdefault.jpg So I decided I would go with the Dyson v15 instead. Maybe it won't last 15 years like everyone claims these others do, but it has swappable batteries, and my last Dyson V8 has held up just fine from 5 years of abuse now so.. plus, the V15 is 200$ off for black Friday at 799 best buy.

Also highly recommend the 15 for a stick vac. Much better specs than the 11 on this list. We love ours and use it daily with 2 large dogs. The front light is amazing for showing hair and dirt on hardwood.

Dyson Detect is crap. Worst $1k I’ve ever spent. Get a Miele if you want to actually CLEAN.

The dyson we are just replacing is going on 9 years. We did swap out the battery for a bigger one. It still runs great, except it has damage from falling into the ground due to our child trying to vacuum and leaving it in strange place. But considering how many times it has been dropped its going okay. 

Ours took a tumble down the stairs a few times too.  So it has taken a beating and it is the primary vacuum we use so it hasn't been too bad. 

I feel like cordless sticks are more designed for small flats. Like if I had a house I‘d never buy a Dyson stick. But I have a 30 square meter flat and there is immovable furniture in that space. I probably need to clean 10-20 square meter. The Dyson is amazing for that. I don’t need a battery that lasts more than 15 minutes.

Well a lot of people own Dysons that are nearly 20 years old and still working fine. That’s good enough for me. Who knows what kind of technology we will have in 2040?

90% of the population aren’t real cleaners though and that’s fine. I have a 30 square meter flat. And I work full time, no pets etc. I just need something lightweight and that doesn’t need much space. Dyson is perfect for that.  Just because professionals don’t use something, doesn’t mean it isn’t perfect for the average person.

I’ve got a fifteen year old Miele vacuum that could suck up a black hole and a cordless Dyson stick thing that has been absolutely fine. The Dyson one is great for everyday cleaning after the kids and the Miele is dragged around every couple of weeks for a deep clean. I also have a Henry that I got after buying the house as I wanted something to deal with the DIY mess. It does the job and is pretty robust but the Miele is much better but also cost a lot more.

Never thought I'd feel so strongly about a vacuum, but I love my dyson.  It's the cordless stick version.  After 5 years, the battery started to get weak.  We just replaced that with an off brand battery and it works like new.

Yes. I use my cordless Dyson daily for small messes and use it as my main vacuum. It’s so convenient. I love it. I also got it on sale at Costco.

Yes, being cordless and effective for what I need. They have HEPA filters, at least mine does. The no bag is a feature for some of us not a defect. It's all a tradeoff. For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. 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. 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 have the rechargeable #2 on the list Dyson stick and I LOVE IT! If you have carpeted stairs, it’s no challenge dealing with those. 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.

> Dyson make the best cordless vacuums. Good one! As a Dyson owner I wish I'd got a Shark or Miele. Dysons are average at best. 

I would never buy a Dyson if it wasn’t for Costco and their lifetime returns. We’re on our third Dyson cordless. They work well when they work, and then eventually they break. Maybe Costco gets cheap ones.

Cordless Dyson if you have hardwood floors. If our girl was ever on carpet I’d get a corded version but the run time on the cordless is sufficient and not having a cord to mess with means I actually use it

same here for the Shark Plug in model. the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared. For purely hard wood / laminate (or very little rug or carpet) Dyson cordless stick vac is IMO is plenty. Good enough run time, and not heavy or unwieldy.

Literally buy it for life. Sweeping is an everyday job and with the Dyson, we vac the hard floor everyday for a few mins and get on with life. Worth the $2xx after rewards.

Call me crazy but my Dyson is still super strong after 4 years. Once the “beater bar” stopped working in mine, called Dyson and they told me to bring it to the Dyson repair place down the street. They gave me a whole new vacuum after 10 mins because they didn’t have a matching color brush head and didn’t want to send me home with a purple and yellow vacuum. When my cordless Dyson stopped working they did the same thing. I’m pretty lucky having an actual Dyson store down the street so I’m sure my experience is better than most, but they have taken care of me.

The sharks are half the price at least and have nearly equal weight profiles as Dyson. Dyson warranties on cordless are just as garbage as everyone else's. Really need to talk to vacuum specialists that take care of vacuums and do maintenance for years. Not reddit consumers who never clean the filters, brushes, or tracks not to mention reviewing vacuums that have only been around for a few years

OMG I literally live and die by my Dysons. I have one mounted on my kitchen wall and another for the second floor. I literally use them like 3x a day bc it’s so easy. I will never use a corded again lol

I've had my cordless Dyson for 5 years now. I can never go back. You just need to make sure you take it apart and thoroughly clean it every 6-8 months depending on use. The ease of vacuuming with it makes me despise cord vacuums. I can never go back. Imagine trying to water your plants around your entire house with a hose versus a squirt gun that put out like a hose.

I’m sorry, the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs so I wouldn’t rank it that high. The attachments are excellent for their specific uses like couch/mattress, the nozzle for corners but I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs. Vacuum’s with cords for the win!

I just took my cordless Dyson to the dump. Maintenance nightmare.

I work in shops, and Dyson cordless vacuums are revered. Need to vacuum up sawdust and aluminum chips and plastic shavings and metal filings? The Dyson will do it. Sharks and similar seem to break in a month or two. The power tool branded vacs are tougher but don’t work as well. The only downside is the batteries, but you can buy a DeWalt or Milwaukee adapter and never worry about it again.

My Miele corded vacuum has lasted for over almost 15 years. Some of the attachments look worn down, but they still work very well. I also have a Roomba and a Dyson cordless vacuum, but I don’t feel like it’s a fair comparison, since battery packs degrade over time. I’ve had to replace the battery pack for the Dyson, and my Roomba seems like it runs out of juice noticeably faster than before.

We have Dyson, Miele and Henry. Dyson cordless is the best for daily convenience but not so good for a deep clean and it's quite high maintenance with all the charging, emptying, filter washing, getting hair off the brushes etc. Miele is solid and the suction is bonkers but I wouldn't use it for building work etc as I want to keep it nice. Henry is the work horse for cleaning the log burner, mud, brick, sick. You can chuck anything at him but he falls over a lot.

I have a Dyson cordless. It is amazing. Two Border Collies in the house 🤯

Har ikke hatt samme kvalitetsproblemer med min Dyson etter 3 år. Har den stående lett tilgjengelig for kjapp støvsuging av gang, kjøkken og spisestue. Så setter jeg ut ordentlig støvsuger når det skal ukesvaskes i hus. Pluss en Roomba som surrer rundt av og til og setter seg fast i lekene til de små (2voksne-2barn-200kvm)

Accurate copy of a Dyson cordless then, in my experience!

We have the shark vacuum others have mentioned, a Roomba, and a cordless Dyson 😅 I still feel like I'm struggling to keep up with dog hair. We just got a new Dyson, but the shark vacuum is 6 years old and still working fine. I do have to replace or clean the filters pretty often though. Edited to add the shark one we have is the navigator.

> The anti-Dyson sentiment in places like a vacuum sub always feels like sock puppets shooting them down to promote their own brand or people just being opposed to what is popular. This and "enthusiests" in any given segment will be willing to give up convenience and performance. 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.

Miele is the best but for ease a dyson cordless is good - maybe the pet hair one. I have both- dyson for small jobs and Miele for big jobs. After i upgraded the dyson battery it works better than ever after 6 + years.

They are dotted around the house: One Shark, one Dyson cordless (on its way out), one Dyson corded. I think there's a second Dyson somewhere, but I use that to suck up spiders and gravel. And a Eufy robovacmop thing. Edit: and a Vax carpet cleaner.

I have a cat and she sheds a lot! 😹 I used to have a Dyson but I hate to hold pressing the power button all the time. I love my LG.

I really wanted to love the Dyson cordless vacuums, but I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming. Plus, the stick vacuums are a bit top heavy as well so it just felt super awkward to maneuver. It could just be because my hands are super hypermobile and so it’s ridiculously uncomfortable. I’m researching other cordless/stick brands.

I love mine, a Dyson. It lives in our pantry and I use it multiple times a day. It’s definitely not meant for heavy duty vacuuming, I still like a regular old plug in one. But it’s SO nice for a quick clean up with two toddlers and a dog.

I bought a Dyson cordless vacuum in 2018, so far no issues but then again it’s only been going on 7 years. But I’ve been spoiled by cordless vacuuming, especially since my house was built in the 20s and has few options for outlets.

Ik raad echt alleen maar Dyson aan, van klantenservice tot product krijg je waar voor je geld. Helaas kost t wel belachelijk veel geld. De bedrade Dyson die ik 15 jaar geleden had gekocht ( pfff das oud ... ) was 5 jaar geleden door een defect stuk gegaan en heb kosteloos een nieuwe gekregen. Ik woon inmiddels 20 jaar op mezelf, heb voor de Dyson 2 andere zakloze zuigers gehad, welke duidelijk duurkoop waren. Draadloos ook een Dyson gekocht en hier niets over te klagen.

I bought a Dyson cordless a few years back and the first week I had it i new it was a mistake it will only stay charged long enough for me to do one room I call Dyson and they said that was the way it was the battery  only last about 15 minutes  a waste of money I bought a sharp I can leave it off the charger for one day and go back the next day and it is still charged amazing how much a Dyson cost and not worth a dine and a sharp half the price and ten times better  I would never recommend a duson

if I could jump in, my dyson just died after two years. Need a cordless vac for a three bedroom townhouse. Any recs? for tiles and wooden floors. In australia. No special needs bar some messy kids

Cordless Miele is worse compared to cordless Dyson. I have both.

Dyson is average compared to miele

Running out of battery while you're vacuuming it so frustrating

4 years for a vacuum is terrible value for money ae. Expectations are so low these days for product longevity. Dyson are supposed to be the most premium vacuum, and it lasts about a year before it starts going down hill. After that you have to buy cheap Chinese battery adapter's to even use them. The filters are impossible to wash, and suction is below average.

Yeah I had a piece crack on my cordless Dyson when I dropped it, and they sent me a replacement no problem. While I was on the phone with them, I mentioned the battery was draining pretty fast and it wasn’t sucking as well as it used to, and they sent a new battery and filter as well. Also, it was outside the warranty period, so I was pretty happy with the customer service.

I agree. We went through two cordless Dyson vacuums in 4 years and that’s not cheap considering they were $600+ each

I agree. We have a Dyson and it gets used every day for little spills here and there. Occasionally it’ll take it out to the car for a quick vacuum because… kids. The battery life is abysmal though. I’ve heard great things about the Shark cordless.

hahah not sure how acurate that analogy is, but I love it. as I love my dyson, never in my life am I going back to corded vacuums

I literally just finished vacuuming with our Miele. We have 3 kids, 2 cats and a dog and this thing is the goat. I also have one of those cordless Dysons, which are good for spot cleaning here and there, but if I run the Miele immediately after the Dyson, it still picks up dirt! They go on sale sometimes, too. I bought ours from a small local vacuum place in BC called Big Gary’s Vacuums. They were matching the sale price at Costco.

I think you have had some trauma from older vacuums regarding batteries. Modern vacuums will last double that without losing too much power. It is no different than laptops. Those batteries used to die or be useless in 3-4 years but these days 5-6 is easily achieved, same for phones, and vacuums aren't discharged and recharged nearly as often. To illustrate, my 4 year old Philips vacuum has lost 0 of its charging capabilities. And while I agree that Dyson has good suction, they are reliability nightmares. I had two. I replaced the first after 3 years because it just stopped performing and no amount of cleaning did anything to change that. The second developed the same issues in about 2 years. I managed to convince support to send me a new motor but by then I was so pissed off with the brand (expensive and unreliable are a hateful combo) that I will never buy Dyson again (much of their stuff looks fancy but are outright scams). My Philips 8000 is as mentioned 4 years old and it has lost some of its suction power but will run about 40 minutes on a charge, same as when I bought it. Not super enthusiastic about the suction performance going down in 4 years but it has been better in pretty much every way compared to the Dyson (which refused to hoover up any of the cat litter on the floor eventhough it had much better suction, and it was FAR quieter too). Never again Dyson. Look up Dyson and Scam on Youtube and watch a few vids before you buy anything.

My cordless Dyson lasted 3 years. Recently got a new corded vacuum not worth having to replace every 3 years vacuum cleaners should last 20

I know vacuum fans/experts hate Dyson, but my Dyson has been working great and it actually makes me want go vacuum. I don’t like dragging a cord around. It’s easy to use, my kids can use it too, they love it and take turn to do it.

I have a lower end Miele as my main vacuum and have had it for 10 years and it is like new... however I did supplement with a Dyson cordless for awhile and it went through a battery every year and I had to replace several broken plastic bits on the cannister.... also those make a mess when you try to empty them..... No cordless vacuums are BIFL.... HOWEVER we did get a Samsung Bespoke Jet cordless vac 2 years ago and I love that thing. Pricy for a cordless but it is way better quality than the Dyson and has a charging base that also contains a vacuum/bag that sucks the dirt out of it into a bag... so completely mess-less. It also has two batteries that can be swapped in seconds like a power tool. The second battery mounts to the dock in a second charger. It is also quieter than the Dyson and the Miele.

Get yourself a quality bagless stick vac. Super convenient to use, you'll find your house way cleaner because you'll use it way more often. Dyson would be my choice.

I'm on year 5 or 6 of my Dyson... biggest complaint is the battery seems to not last as long... plenty of use with pets.

We’ve had our cordless dyson for 5 years but it’s honestly not the best compared to a rainbow or other brands at this point in its life.

Vi har Dyson batteri til daglig bruk. Lett å ta fram(viktig), og tar det meste. 114 kvadrat ville gå greit på ein lading. Men når bilen skulle støvsugast blei den for svak. Då måtte eg fram med eit godt gammalt kabla beist. Så vi ville uten tvil kjøpt igjen, men hatt ein tradisjonell til dei vrange punktene.

I hate my cordless Dyson and had to use the warranty 3 times in the first year. My corded one is fine. 

I pull both Mieles and Dysons out of the trash. These days I only grab the cordless Dyso9ns, but in the past have done the upright models. They are usually work after cleaning up. Maybe half the cordless examples I get need a new battery.

I got Dyson and I love it. she does hard and soft floors, she’s light enough for cob webs, car cleaning, you can lower the suck so if you spill crumbs at night it’s quiet. you can get unbranded acsessories so I got alsorts of things to help clean cars, keyboards, I got clips for the tube to hold more nozzles, I got a big bendy tube so stairs is a breeze. the filters are washable, I got a load of unbranded so I can swap them out more often. any breakages you can buy most spare parts online which is super handy also you just twist the end and the rollerbar pops out which makes long hair cleaning so easy. I used to hate sitting on the floor with sicciors cutting hair off the bar. I don’t miss trailing cables or the bulk of the Hoover.

In another life I was a Kirby service tech and I serviced machines on a number of occasions > 40-50 years old. At the time they had parts available for all machines. They ARE expensive (and the sales process leaves a lot to be desired) but are generally built like tanks. If there's a weak point, it's the fan. Even if it is Lexan, hard/heavy enough debris (eg bolts) can shatter the blades. The nice thing about the design is that instead of putting the bag inline with the fan, the bags fill from the top so it's able to maintain airflow. We have one (though it was a gift) but generally use our Dyson cordless day to day.

Honestly as an ex appliance engineer, the cordless Dysons are great for use but 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.

I didn't mean consumer end I meant b2b they were difficult to deal with i.e. sourcing the parts for the customer and general support.

I’m surprised to see you say Dyson is difficult for parts. I’ve been buying their cordless vacs for 10+ years and any time I need a part they either overnight for free or they charge a fair price.

I’ve only had 2 over the 10+ years. Someone broke my first one and then I replaced it with a newer model.

I have a cordless dyson for 7 years. The battery crapped out halfway through but the batteries for powertools(which we have) also fits. So we use those. Now I dont know if the original battery is shit or not because I dropped the vacuum mulitple times so that might be my fault. But hey after dropping it so many times, it still works!!

There’s no single vac that does it all except for maybe a super heavy super expensive traditional canister like a Miele. For an everyday hard floor vac (and light carpet vac) the best is Levoit on Amazon that's about $200. It's a Dyson-like machine that overcomes a lot of the longtime design issues with Dysons (such as, it can stand up by itself -- what a concept). But we also keep the Dyson around for a more aggressive carpet vac when we need it. We also have a Eureka boss -- powerful and dependable small canister vac. And a monster shop vac in the basement. Dysons are great but they're really expensive and their air filtering system is overly complicated and tends to lose efficiency. If you own a Dyson, watch all the available Youtubes on how to clean it with pressurized air so you can keep it running. Given the competition from newer manufacturers like Levoit, I think it's going to be harder for Dyson to justify selling floor vacs for close to $1000.

I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. (Actually more than that because I didn’t tell people I also have 3 cats haha) Someone with a husky commented that they replace the bag 1.5-2 times a month. Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me) I am taking that into account with  replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) but it doesn’t have a bag or a Sebo that has a 10 year warranty but I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period with the amount I’d be spending on bags. I haven’t decided yet 🙃 but thought I’d share the numbers.
