Never had a Dyson last longer than a few months past the warranty expiration, and they feel terrible to use. My Miele was great but wanted to cut the cord and drop the bags.
Meanwhile, I have two shark ionics that are about 7+ years old and are still the best cordless vac I’ve ever used. The newer one I have is perplexingly odd, with its automated speed control and ridiculous squircle tube that isn’t capable of emptying the air from vacuum storage bags… do our robot shark, however. That one can’t do any wrong in my book, compared to the Dreame and the iRobots I’ve had.
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 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.
Yes, essentially I now actually vacuum and before I didn't. I have a shark flex something that was on a good sale last summer. I wish I’d changed over before but I thought it was quite a bit of money when I had a working vacuum (that always attacked my ankles on its stupid hose length and got stuck on corners)
I have the Shark flex that can bend to get under furniture easily and 10/10 do recommend. We did have to replace it once because it fell and broke at that joint, but it’s still so worth it to be able to vacuum under stuff easily.
