I had a corded vacuum that broke and I fixed it myself three times. I have 1 dog and 1 cat, and I'm slightly allergic so vacuuming is a Must.
After the corded vacuum broke a fourth time, I got myself a cordless, 3 pound vacuum with a replaceable battery and replaceable rollers (it has double rollers since hair/fur gets tangled and I wanted something that could handle it).
I love it, and it makes cleaning really fun.
If you are interested, I got the Ryobi High Capacity 18V vacuum with battery and charger. Life changing and I know it'll last because it has replaceable batteries that you can recharge and the double rollers are replaceable so in the future I just get more when it inevitably breaks.
Love ours. Even upgraded to the whisper series. It’s nothing special in terms of a cordless vac, nothing to complain about either. What sets it apart is the fact that I have a dozen batteries ready to rock at any time.
Eh, it’s definitely quieter which is a plus for dogs or napping kids, but it’s not like I notice a major difference in power or anything.
I’m no vacuum expert. We were happy with the original, but when part of our original broke, after some back and forth with Ryobi, they sent us the whisper model in its entirety, rather than just replace the broken part from our original, which we would have been happy with.
So is it worth the upgrade? Probably not, to the average Joe like me, but it’s been nice for the QoL upgrades they made.
Hope that helps!
I'm pretty dazzled with my Ryobi pet vac. Nothing to adjust when going from hardwood to deep shag area rugs and it takes up so little space. Literally no dog smell exhausts from it either. For a third the price this thing is superior to my Miele pet canister and includes a light which the nearly $700 vac didn't have.
I tried a Dyson once and was thoroughly unimpressed. Not only are the batteries trash but the suction was garbage. For those fucking price tags stay as far away from Dyson as possible.
That said, I now use a Ryobi 18V stick vacuum *only* because I already had a bunch of 18V tools so I already had the batteries. The suction is solid and the battery life is pretty decent. It’s a well designed machine albeit a bit heavy. If you don’t already have Ryobi gear something more conventional is probably prudent.
