"The first one lasted five years, which was good enough for me, considering the price & the intense use. ... Two dogs (one a husky), two cats, and my thick, long hair. I vacuum daily, hardwoods and carpet."

"Bought a chinese knockoff battery on Amazon, still working after almost 4 years. 😅 ... No soldering, just a couple of screws and you swap the battery pack. 👍"

tinboyb0y 1.0Dyson V8 slim. Been using for past 4 years. Tineco S5 pro. Using for the past 1 years. Also got a robot vacuum S5 from roborock but experience with it was terrible.
VanishVapour 1.0Dyson v12 detect slim (the one with laser). Bought last year 7.7 sale. Before that was using Dyson v8 slim.

AnyChard5326 0.5We have a German Shepherd Collie mix, and he sheds so much! We also had a white cat that shed a lot of visible hair. The hair becomes tumbleweeds on the floor. We purchased a robot vacuum that runs once a day, and we also have a Dyson with a special, fluffy brush designed to pick up pet hair. It's amazing! We also have a big lint roller brush that is not the plastic one, it's like velcro and picks up any fur on you or furniture. The dog sleeps on the bed with us, so I lint roll it once a day! If you have carpets, get a soapy bucket and rubber gloves and scrape the glove over the carpets or use a brush, it's amazing for getting rid of a lot of inbedded hair. Try that at least once a month. I hope this all helps you x
MountainMuffin1980 0.5We have a cordless Dyson we got cbeal in Costco. I'm sure there are better brand but it's useful, and small and has decent tools. We also have a Shark robot vacuum (also cheap from Costco) and I love him.
brycemonang1221 0.4Shark Detect Pro or Dyson V8 (Fluffy head) are solid picks. No beater bar, good for hard floors. Both usually in that price range if on sale. EU stockists have ’em!
1234-for-me 0.3We have 1 dog and hardwoods: dyson v8.
Adventurer_FL8296 0.3Avoid the V15 - repeated power/motor issues. From what I can tell, only the V8 is still recommended here.
