I bought a refurbished IF200UK cordless model direct from Shark (on eBay) back in 2020 and it has been great. It has washable filters and dual motorised contra rotating brushes in the head. I use it on carpet and hard flooring.
I know majority HATE Shark but we love our shark stick vac. The duo-clean feature is amazing on hard floors. I bought our Ionflex 200 so many years ago, refurbished, on Amazon. The battery is still excellent and it works great. I also bought a Kenmore Elite Litening 7005 (cordless) to use as our main vacuum, replacing our 15 year old upright.
> I own 3 (oldest is around 15 years old) and they’re reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to repair. I've owned two DC35's, the OEM batteries were expensive, hard to source and went bad (very shortened life) way too quickly. The third party ones weren't any better. Maybe it's gotten better, this was over 10 years ago. I switched to a much cheaper Shark Duo that had an easy to swap battery with external charger that's performed as well as the Dyson did ever since.
I thought this was an ad for Bissell for a sec😆😭. I use Shark Duo clean, its cordless with a heafty battery. I will find a link and report back 🫡. Update: Sadly I cannot find the exact vacuum I have from SHARK but BISSELL has one thats similar to what I have. I try my best to vacuum every few days to keep up with the fur and I only have 1 bun lol. Good luck and I hope this helps. https://a.co/d/4vtfUAp
I’ve owned several Dysons in the past (including a battery-powered stick) and every single one of them required warranty repairs, including: burst hoses, refusal to charge, air leaks, strange and loud noises, parts that broke off. After warranty, they all became garage sale with “mostly works” disclaimers. I went all-stick and looked up the most critical reviews on hard-core British consumer web sites and followed their advice. The two shark ion stick vacuums I got have been working flawlessly for the master five years and their performance has been unparalleled. I realize now that I had been sold a false dream with Dyson.
I got a Dyson Light Ball around a decade ago. Idk exactly when, can’t remember but it’s whenever the Light Ball first came out. I clean the filters monthly and it still works like a dream. I also have a Shark Duo something or other, it’s the Shark with the soft brush roll in addition to the regular brush roll. If I go over my carpet with the Shark and then immediately follow it with the Dyson, the Dyson picks up more in the second pass than the Shark did in the first So I just use my Shark for my hard floors and the Dyson for my carpet, since the Shark is better for hard floors due to the soft brush roll I think a **corded** Dyson is very well worth it
we got our shark duo in 2017 and has never had an issue its our sole vacuum for 2 story home, if you've trashed 6 I think it's probably you breaking them somehow? I keep wanting a nicer vacuum but this one won't die.
I like the Shark Duet and have 2 labs
