I got a hand me down V6 Motörhead from a friend who was too lazy to buy a new battery. Bought a cheap one on Amazon and it's lasted me 5-6 years with no trouble until recently the brush has stopped spinning. Have not had a chance to troubleshoot yet, so I can't say if it's an easy fix or needs replacing . I will definitely buy one, but I'll buy a refurbished one at a discounted price. I will also add I have always had a more powerful corded vacuum as well. The cordless is just for convenience between the deep cleans. I had a Dyson DC 07 for over 20 years and just bought a Dyson Big Ball canister on sale for $200. Sucks great, but not sure I'll ever get used to the canister. Time will tell.

Dyson V6 : was my first stick vacuum,didn't last long Miele HX2 : awesome, until it broke(not mechanical) and needed a proprietary part. Ryobi : lots of good reviews, wife complains too bulky and roller partially working. My work around was buying 2 old school used Dyson DC models and upgrading the battery packs with aftermarket. Heaps of parts around will never buy new again IMO Dyson = Apple.

I love my Dysons, I know this sub reddit hates them but if you get them on sale it's a great value. I've been using the stick vacs since the v6 and never had a issue...

I used to work at a local vac shop in Ottawa Ontario. We used to get a lot of refurbished V6s, V7s and V8s, mind you this was like 8 years ago. I got myself a V6 for upstairs ( It was like $180) and a V8 for the living room and that was about $230. i dont even know if Dyson still does the Refurbs, they still come with a one year warranty if i remember. After the one year warranty is up i would use the 3rd party batteries for the Dysons. Its cheaper and you can get 2 some times. I also got a refub Miele cannister and my wife can tell quickly if i vaccumed with the Miele instead of the Dysons. You need to have the power on high for the Dysons to suck as good as the canisters, but it kills the battery stupid quick.

I've had my Dyson v6 for 6 years now. 1 batter change was needed only.

I've read enough posts here to know that a cordless vac will never complete with a corded unit. I've had my Miele Capricorn for years and love it, and we also have a Roborock robot that for whatever reason I really only use to vacuum and mop the kitchen daily. I've had a Dyson v6 around for years for quick clean ups, kitty litter spills etc but it's getting pretty worn. I've been tempted to grab a refurb Dyson v8/10 \~$200, but I know Dyson sucks (or doesn't suck to be more accurate...) What else should I be looking at for a cordless vac that preferably won't end up with my wifes long hair or cat hair wrapped around the roller constantly?

Den haben meine Eltern, der ist akzeptabel fürs Geld würde ich sagen. Aber ist schon grenzwertig, ich selber würde ihn mir nicht kaufen, dann lieber ein normalen Beutelsauger mit Kabel.

Bin aktuell am Überlegen ob ich den in der neuen Wohnung überhaupt benutzen soll. Mein guter alter Privileg Beutelsauger saugt wie vor 15 Jahren alles weg, der kann selbst die Tapete von der Wand ziehen wenn ich das will.

This. I have a Milwaukee M18 8amp battery on my v6 Dyson and I usually have to empty my canister before a recharge. There's also a lot of cool fake parts for Dyson v6s. The knockoff batteries are fine but they only last a couple of years.
