PURE ONE S15 PET EX Smart Cordless Vacuum with iLoop™ Sensor Technology

My wife and have owned three Dyson stick vacuums; they basically die every 3 to 4 years which is beyond their warranty. We've probably spent around $500/EA, so overall we haven't been happy with them. Dyson's cyclone area is hard to clean as well. We switched to a Tineco and I've been super happy with it. We go the "pet" model that comes with two batteries, a bunch of attachments, a "power brush" attachment (which is great for cat hair), and a reverse filter cleaner. We've had it a couple years and it's been amazing (I know, this sounds like an ad) but the brush doesn't bind up with long hair like our Dyson does, and the entire vacuum/cyclone area is accessible to clean without any dismantling. The batteries last forever and we have 2500 sqft house, and the dual battery feature means we'll probably get 10 years out of the unit, or more. But the battery cases are serviceable with a bit of effort. They are held together with screws, and are semi-transparent - you can see the 16550 batteries inside. I've swapped out batteries in packs before in power tools, and this looks like it will be even easier if/when that day comes. We use it almost daily, and find it's absolutely worth the cost/benefit. Oh, it also comes with two filters, which can be washed in water. So if one is still drying you have a backup. We bought it one sale for around $280. It was a "pet" model. Prices look all over the board right now, so I would just wait until it comes down or you find a deal. They do go on sale; I remember ours was in the $500 range so we just waited.

I cracked this model open and replaced the batteries. It can be done. Going on 4 years on the new batteries. Had it 4 or 5 before that.

I somewhat recently got a Tineco Pet vacuum (I couldn't tell you which one, to be honest, but they all serve the same purpose), and I'm OBSESSED with it. It not only picks up everything that my Dyson didn't, but it also has a light on the front so you can actually see all the hair you may have otherwise missed. The suction strength varies depending on the surface (hardwood/carpet), and it's equally effective on both surfaces. It also comes with all the (now) common attachments. I use it every day, and it's my latest obsession, as a clean freak. Oh, and it's exceptionally well-priced. I got mine on sale for $300 CAD (from $500)

Same. I adored my Dyson but it was useless when it came to dog hair (labrador). I too bought a very cumbersome, corded Bissell, but my goodness, the stuff it sucks up - AFTER using the Dyson - it's insane. I bought a Tineco stick vacuum to replace my Dyson (still have the Bissell), and it's a million times better than the Dyson.

I use the Tineco Pet vacuum. I purchased an extra battery for it. We have 2 Rotties, I love it

I wonder this as well. I have had lots of brands over the years, but not a Miele or Riccar. My favorite is my Dyson Cinetic canister. The suction is so much stronger than anything I have ever used. I have been using it for about 8 years now. Hopefully it never dies as they don’t make it anymore. For quick pickup of cat fur and liter I use a Tineco S1 stick.
