Dyson - V15 Detect Series

Yeah this is sadly common. My v15 had the same issue and died just outside of warranty. A new cyclone unit was $150 which fixed the issue.

Is that possible? The v15 was released Mar 2021 and carried a two year warranty. The first out of warranty replacement would be in Mar onwards 2023. Each replacement carries its own one year warranty. So then the second replacement Mar 2024 and third replacement Mar 2025. That's assuming it dies 1 day after warranty. You must be the unluckiest person alive hah.

Yup v15 has been great for a couple years so far. I don’t care if it doesn’t last forever, I’ll buy another. Peoples opinion on Dyson is based on the old ass one with weak performance.

I’ve had the V15 detect for 4 years now and it’s as strong now as it was when I first bought it. I do clean it regularly and change the filters every couple of weeks. I thought the battery was declining but turned out the charger was defective and a new charger brought my battery and my replacement battery up to 100%. Best vacuum I’ve ever owned.

I have the V15 and am very satisfied with it. I think the V8 will serve you well for small pickups around the house. It’s very convenient to just grab a small vacuum like this to clean up small bits here and there. I cut my hair at home and this thing is awesome for cleaning up afterwards, as well as cleaning the messes that my boxer creates throughout the day.

Yes. I use my cordless Dyson daily for small messes and use it as my main vacuum. It’s so convenient. I love it. I also got it on sale at Costco.

Yes, being cordless and effective for what I need. They have HEPA filters, at least mine does. The no bag is a feature for some of us not a defect. It's all a tradeoff. For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. I dont make a mess emptying it vs making a mess swapping bags - cause I overfill it. That's a me thing but it's a consistent me thing and I dont have to worry about it with the Dyson. I never would have thought I'd defend a near $1,000 cordless vacuum but I got one as a gift and will never buy anything different now.

The chom chom roller is the best for couches. I never thought I’d be a Dyson person but I got the one with the laser hardwood floor attachment and pet hair couch attachment and it’s the greatest.

I have the V15 detect. I love it so much I would marry it. It has that light and shows every spec of dust and dog hair. I have dachshund dogs . The only thing I will say if you have OCD this dyson makes you crazy I do vacuum more with this model , but worth every penny.

I have the rechargeable #2 on the list Dyson stick and I LOVE IT! If you have carpeted stairs, it’s no challenge dealing with those. I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge.

I have had the Dyson V15, the Shark, and the LG CordZero and so far, LG is the huge winner because of its price and power. It is most comparable to the V15, without the price tag. We had the dyson for about 18months before its motor started to go (apparently a well known issue) so we returned it. The LG has been as powerful as the v15, and I prefer its attachments over the dyson. We have hardwood, tile, and some high pile and low pile rugs. LG does a great job on them all as a “daily driver” where I need dust, cat hair, crumbs, and dirt picked up.

> Dyson make the best cordless vacuums. Good one! As a Dyson owner I wish I'd got a Shark or Miele. Dysons are average at best. 

We had a V15 that we had to replace twice due to power failures. Apparently a lot of the new versions have a board with capacitor issues that cause it to overload and fail after regular use. We just went to a V8 because of having to replace multiple machines because of this. The V8 uses an older board and so I am hoping it doesn’t have this issue

Until it dies again because Dyson hasn’t fixed the issue. That’s why we gave up and went back to a V8

3 times I had one die just after that warranty expired sadly

Nekunk dyson v15 van nagyon meg vagyunk elegedve vele. Eloszor en is pislogtam amikor az asszony mondta hogy ilyet vegyunk de nem bántam meg. 1x elromlott egybol csereltek kaptunk egy ujabb modelt a gari ujra indult

Dyson V 15 and Sebo owner with two super hairy shorthairs living in a cement floored warehouse with lots of Turkish area rugs. Not sure what your obviously perfect feline does but life with my kitties has its challenges. They are dirt attractants to say nothing of the charms of litter in bare fee. Couldn’t live without the instant availability of a cordless and the 15 is a solid performer in all areas. My rugs do look cleaner after a full Sebo experience but I’m lazy and place is big. I have come to realize you need more than one vacuum, unless you have only one flooring type , don’t have to carry up stairs or navigate a labyrinth of hallways and live in under 1000sq ft.

I LOVE our Dyson V15, however, I definitely don't think it is 'buy it for life.' I don't see it being a durable piece of equipment and lasting many years. Pieces of it have come flying off apparently with no way to fix (cosmetic things, thankfully). However, it is amazing.

Hated my Dyson too. Had the v15. I'm going to check this one out. I have a shark now and I hate it too.

I had that Dyson v15 and I hated it. It always got clogged. I have a shark and hate that one too lol

I know this topic comes up often and it's always said that a cordless vacuum isn't BIFL. But damn if the Dyson V15 isn't life changing for me. I actually *like* vacuuming now. Lugging the cannister and cord around of my old vacuum room to room was such a chore. It's just so much easier and I like their little gimmick of showing how much dirt it's captured. Bought mine refurbished for a nice price and had it for around 1.5 years now. Granted I've never tried a Miele before, but I only have hardwood floors and a few spot rugs so I don't think I'd never the extra power or whatever else advantages it brings. Especially at the expense of lugging the cannister around with me.

I bought a V15 last year and thought it was quite powerful. But the power head broke within 2 weeks and replacements were out of stock. So I returned it and got a Samsung Bespoke Jet. The Samsung is strong enough on the min setting to do a quick touch up of the house (mainly pet hair pick up), which results in a long run time of about an hour. The combo head does not need to be switched when moving from hard floor to area rugs/carpets. The charging stand that comes with the unit will also empty the dust bin. For me, my reason for getting a cordless vacuum was for the convenience to do quick touch ups without dragging out the canister vacuum, and the Samsung fulfills that better than the Dyson.

I bought a V15 detect late last year. The green laser with the fluffy head worked great for pet fur on hard floors--better than my canister vac. But the combo power head broke within 2 weeks. Could not get a hold of Dyson service. Replacement power heads were out of stock online. I was not interested in a $900 stick vac that only does hard floors, so I returned the whole thing to Costco and bought a Samsung Bespoke. Found a stick on green laser on Amazon that works decent (though not as good as Dyson's). I will never again buy another Dyson.

I own a Dyson v15 with the green laser - #2 on that list. (I have Tile floors). It is soooo good. Even compared to other top rated Dysons. Worth every penny.

That Lazer thing it has seems so gimmicky but it's an absolute life changer.

We have: Roomba - Used 2/3 times a week between cleaner being here. Only does downstairs. Had this for many years, would definitely replace it when it breaks, maybe with one that mops and empties itself. Dyson V15 cordless - wall mounted for easy jobs and quick zip around. It has the green laser so it makes it easy to see where to clean. It's really good, buttttt....It doesn't last super long though, and I'm not impressed by the battery. Used by us and our cleaner. If it broke I would probably buy a replacement. Dyson Animal corded - Super powerful, but a bit cumbersome. Mostly used by our cleaner. Has this for nearly a decade I think. Very good investment. If it broke I might not replace and leverage the other two.

Honestly I'm perfectly content with the fact that my Dyson detect is just adequate at picking up dirt, what it outshines in is CONVENIENCE and I'm asking to pay the pretty penny for that

I would never buy a Dyson if it wasn’t for Costco and their lifetime returns. We’re on our third Dyson cordless. They work well when they work, and then eventually they break. Maybe Costco gets cheap ones.

Have an older upright Dyson bag less vacuum, over 15 years old and it’s good. Bought a stick vacuum a couple of years ago for quick cleaning like after kids have demolished snacks, for the car etc and it’s been awful. Barely has any power compared to the proper vacuum, charge doesn’t last long, battery died last year and I had to go in to a store to get it replaced (at charge) then got home and after one use it stopped again. Turns out it was the power adapter/cord that was stuffed, and the back and forth to get them to just post me a new cord was stupid.

The v15 (and more previous gens) has a big flaw in the v wheels in its motorized brush. Breaking it takes almost zero effort but replacing it is a freaking pain

Dyson stick vacuums are definitely powerful enough. Bagless and lightweight, too. Though you would need multiple batteries. A backpack vacuum would make you look like a Ghostbuster. That would be priceless.

Lots of people will shit on Dyson but honestly their stick vacs are great, relatively durable, very convenient and with easily replaceable parts. Very few vacuum cleaners are genuinely BIFL. Avoid Miele like the plague.

Har en dyson (den som var best i test i fjor eller noe). Til å ta opp løst støv og rusk fra gulvet så er den omtrent like god. Til å suge opp støv fra sprekker i møbler, stoff (tepper eller filten i f.eks bil), så er den ikke i nærheten av f.eks sentralstøvsugeren på 2500W. Dysonen er vel på noen hundre W.

I got a v15 detect for $500 at costco. Insanely good vaccuum so far. It has a replaceable battery which should come in handy as Ive seen the batteries go bad with older dysons.

We have a V15 and so far it’s been faultless, if you keep the filters clean and close the shutter on the cleaner head (some of them have a + - slider on it, slide it to ensure the shutter is closed when on carpet for maximum suction. I clean the filter once a month and it sucks hard enough that my partner struggles to push it along the floor.

The Dyson sticks are highly overrated. To obtain adequate suction power, you need to use the high setting but your battery will only run for 10 minutes tops.

We've a Henry pet that does wonders for pet hair on the carpet areas and would definitely get another but the thing just goes and as others have said they hold up to abuse from kids aswell We got a 2nd hand Dyson cordless on cheap a few yrs back - it's grand for a daily clean up on wooden floors - I wouldn't recommend one though if u have pets as it barely does anything on the carpets and I wouldn't go near them at the prices in the shops though.

Yea a lot of people hate on dysons but I’ve loved mine. Got a cheaper model but bought the laser head and it makes vacuuming so convenient and gross lol. I plan on replacing the battery when it dies out but that will be a problem on all stick vacuums

We have a Dyson v15 cordless, it’s grand for a quick clean around. Ended up buying a Miele C3 (cat and dog) and find it brilliant, the suction is very strong on it and a like that there’s storage for the attachments. Haven’t had any scratching on my wood floors and I’ve had it nearly 2 years now

When using Dyson try to empty when you get to MAX, I know it can sometimes clump on the top, try to vacuum a bit slower then. Regarding marking floors, it's probably rubber wheel on the head that makes marks, had the same problem with ours at first. Disappears when you wash the floor. Yeah, absolutely don't mention Dyson on this forum, and God forbid say it's good. They think here that Dysons been on the market for over 30 years making crappy products that don't last due to good marketing. And Sebo, brand hardly anyone ever heard of, makes the best vacuums in the world. I've had Felix in the past. It is a great vacuum, it will probably clean carpets much better than Dyson yes, but it comes at a cost, at least it did in my case. It is a bit top heavy, head kinda always pulls you forward so you need force to push vacuum about. It does swivel but despite what this forum says, it's not as good as Dyson Ball swivel. No wand was a huge negative for me. You have to bend down to get to corners etc. It was pretty average on hard floors and changing for parquet head was too much messing about. Bag can start smelling after some time. Funny cause guys here say Dysons stink. We've had our V15 for about 4 years, doesn't smell at all. Obviously if you vacuum something damp it definitely will but with Felix, it'll smell no matter what. And no, changing the bag won't make the smell go away. Another annoying thing, you can lift the main body to use the vacuum for stairs, car etc. it blows really hot air though so it's like carrying a portable heater, might be great in winter actually. I also always thought brush roll on/off on head was annoying. You really really hard to press it hard. Wonder why it wasn't implemented on the handle. Going back to Dyson, empty when you get to MAX, clean filter with water only roughly once a month, make sure it's completely dry and don't use it on Boost all the time. I'm based in UK and work in appliance shop, plenty of various customers. But definitely don't have customers coming back after a year saying their Dysons broke. Unless they've trashed the vacuum, and some actually bring vacuums that have never had filters cleaned or been used to vacuum something damp. Actually plenty coming back for a new model to replace 5 or 6 years old stick. So they can definitely last if you look after them. And not like they have to replace it cause it's all broken, usually battery or head doesn't work anymore. Yeah yeah I know, not 20 years that Sebo will give but I'd still prefer to get a new vac after 5 years that's really nice and easy to use.

same here for the Shark Plug in model. the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared. For purely hard wood / laminate (or very little rug or carpet) Dyson cordless stick vac is IMO is plenty. Good enough run time, and not heavy or unwieldy.

I mean I’ve had my Dyson stick vac for 10+ years, it’s been doing just fine with near daily use. They are surprisingly easy to repair or replace most parts. Just keep them maintained.

We're using a Dyson V15 detect! We've had it for a year (10 months with cats) . So far so good! It's easy to clean, the green light thing is a huge help in detecting cat hair on surfaces! Also has an attachment for carpets.

Literally buy it for life. Sweeping is an everyday job and with the Dyson, we vac the hard floor everyday for a few mins and get on with life. Worth the $2xx after rewards.

Call me crazy but my Dyson is still super strong after 4 years. Once the “beater bar” stopped working in mine, called Dyson and they told me to bring it to the Dyson repair place down the street. They gave me a whole new vacuum after 10 mins because they didn’t have a matching color brush head and didn’t want to send me home with a purple and yellow vacuum. When my cordless Dyson stopped working they did the same thing. I’m pretty lucky having an actual Dyson store down the street so I’m sure my experience is better than most, but they have taken care of me.

We have the V15 and it’s AMAZING with dog hair. We have a golden retriever so fur is everywhere. The 15 comes with the anti- tangle head and hair has never gotten wrapped around unlike our shark that I’m constantly having to get the scissors out.

I have a Dyson stick vacuum and I love it

Indeed, the Dyson is ideal for everyday light cleaning in smaller spaces or apartments. A canister vacuum is more suitable for thorough weekly cleaning of a larger home. Unfortunately, I cannot afford both the SEBO I purchased and a €1000 Dyson. I might consider a robot vacuum for automated daily cleaning and mopping in the future, though higher-quality models are also quite costly, similar to the Dyson, and also made in Asia, which I prefer to avoid.

some areas of WDW resort custodial use the Dyson V15's and I gotta be honest, theyre the only ones that have lasted months instead of mere days like other brands. They are worked HAAAARD and they still work great. Every other brand thats been put in our hands has broken in a few days or couple of weeks, so the company splurged for the good ones and they have probably already paid for themselves.

I wish I'd bought a Shark instead of a Dyson cordless. I have to empty the Dyson after vacuuming a single area rug, and if I use it when it's a tiny bit too full, it regurgitates a bunch of debris. It doesn't have great suction at the best of times, regardless.

I have the Dyson V15 detect and totally love it but it's not a bifl vacuum by any means. It's just the best of the available cordless vacuums. Bifl is more like a kirby imo. They're overbuilt and made to be worked on. I've worked on plenty of them and always really impressed at the quality of its build.

Whoever has those Dysons clearly doesn’t have multiple long-haired, double coated pets running around. I had the stick and the ball versions and both barely lasted a year

We have a Dyson stick vacuum and I haven't vacuumed since my 3.5yo discovered it at 18months. All I have to do is hold it and suddenly I'm being screamed at until I allow them to vacuum. Needless to say, I'm a big fan.

The sharks are half the price at least and have nearly equal weight profiles as Dyson. Dyson warranties on cordless are just as garbage as everyone else's. Really need to talk to vacuum specialists that take care of vacuums and do maintenance for years. Not reddit consumers who never clean the filters, brushes, or tracks not to mention reviewing vacuums that have only been around for a few years

OMG I literally live and die by my Dysons. I have one mounted on my kitchen wall and another for the second floor. I literally use them like 3x a day bc it’s so easy. I will never use a corded again lol

I've had my cordless Dyson for 5 years now. I can never go back. You just need to make sure you take it apart and thoroughly clean it every 6-8 months depending on use. The ease of vacuuming with it makes me despise cord vacuums. I can never go back. Imagine trying to water your plants around your entire house with a hose versus a squirt gun that put out like a hose.

I think most people buying vacuums aren’t treating or looking at them as BIFL. Vacuum techs are going to crap on anything difficult to repair/maintain while your average consumer is only going to see the end result. I’ve owned a Hoover upright, shark upright, Dyson upright, and now 2 different Dyson sticks including the v15. I would never buy a canister vacuum due to what I deem as an inconvenience in pulling it around everywhere. When we owned a house with majority carpet the Dyson and Shark uprights were great. We have dogs and their brush roll was incredible at picking up pet hair. Our current house is primarily hardwoods and we still have dogs. The V15 is amazing, super light, and convenient. And despite how gimmicky the green light thing may look it really does work amazingly well for hardwoods with pet hair. It does ok on carpet and rugs but the old canisters feel like they would for sure outperform it. I don’t really expect a lifetime out of my vacuum especially if I’m buying a $150 Shark. If I get several years I’m pretty happy as the repair bill is near the cost of the Vacuum - it’s almost like the printers whose ink refills was more expensive than a new printer.

Cordless with enough power to actually clean and capacity to finish a job are a big deal. Beyond that, everything else is a very distant second. I'll say the v15 is a beast. And I'll never go back to a corded vacuum after having one.

For my use with only hard floors,a small space and tons of heavy spot cleaning, having cordless mobility isn't optional. And I find it does a better job than the Dyson ball I used to have. Like most things the 'best' choice is extremely dependent on the specifics of use. There's no circumstance where a corded vacuum would ever be in consideration for me, so while I'm sure Miele makes excellent vacuums, they'll never work for me. That said, I only got it because it was on sale and at Costco. The full price is eye watering and a bit demented.

I mean the v15 is actually good. I had a animal at one point and that thing was crap

I’d go with another Dyson stick

I had a cordless Dyson vacuum and I loved it. Someday I might buy another one. The reason I had to get rid of my previous one was not because it broke, but because the filters were no longer available for it on the Dyson website. They sell compatible filters on Amazon, but if you read the reviews, people are saying they are fake and don’t work at all, so I didn’t bother. So my suggestion to you is if you buy a Dyson vacuum, buy maybe four or five filters so that you will be able to use it for years to come. I ended up buying a Hoover vacuum and immediately regretted it because it’s very heavy and tires out my wrist and arm as I use it. Impossible to use on the stairs.

we have a dyson and a shark. i hate my dyson. i LOVE my corded dyson, but the battery life in the stick vacuum is awful after a while. i like the shark a lot!! it does very well and i haven’t noticed a dip in battery life

I’m sorry, the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs so I wouldn’t rank it that high. The attachments are excellent for their specific uses like couch/mattress, the nozzle for corners but I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs. Vacuum’s with cords for the win!

Dyson v15 detect has been great, don’t care what anyone on the sub states about it. It works great, zero issues if you keep it clean. It’s not my only vacuum, but it’s the one I tend to use the most.

V15 detect. Bought from Costco for their warranty and service. LOVE the vacuum! Vacuuming has become a fun pastime instead of a chore.

Got a refurbished detect from Amazon and it’s worked perfectly for the year I’ve had it 🤷‍♂️

I had a Dyson "stick" type vacuum. It didn't last nearly as long as the price tag suggested it should. The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it. I replaced it with a **Hoover ONE PWR** at half the price of the Dyson. I've had it longer than I had the Dyson and it's still working great. It comes with 2 batteries so one lives on the charger, the other on the vacuum. Means I've always got a full charge. The Dyson battery was internal so you can't swap out a battery if it dies on you. I would avoid anything that's not a brand name. Before the Dyson there was a generic Amazon no-name special vacuum that I used once, packed it back up in the box, and sent it back. Absolute junk. Bad suction. Just bad all around. Some of them may be fine but I don't trust the Amazon reviews on the no-name ones. They have a "Fieety" brand stick vacuum for $159 with nearly 1000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars. Is it good? You'd think so. But I still wouldn't take a chance on it. Ironically, the vacuum I bought and have had nothing but good luck with has a very low rating on Amazon (only 3 reviews though), but it doesn't matter as it's no longer available since it's such an old model.

Shark power detect all the way, I had a Dyson v15 and was constantly having to reach into it and dig the dust out. The shark power detect is like $300 cheaper and honestly way better

Funny enough I just made a similar post but geared towards Sharks in specific. Like I understand that people want a professional vacuum, for some reason. In my opinion I feel like you only really need one of those big professional vacuums if you're cleaning for a living. Most people up would do fine with a battery-powered stick vacuum that hangs up and charges and you can just take down and use whenever you need to use it and then hang it back up when you're done. I bought an expensive canister vacuum and then ended up hating it because I was constantly having to lug it out and plug it in and do all these extra steps so I never really ended up using it. But then I got a stick vacuum and I use it everyday now because it's way more convenient and I think that that's what most people want. I understand the need for a large plug-in bagged vacuum for once in a while use or if you're a house cleaner but for the majority of people a stick vacuum is more than good.

Yeah also among the cordless vacuums there is this Dyson elitism which is so silly to me. I had a Dyson V15 and was constantly having to reach in the vacuum to pull the dust out. I returned it for a Shark that was $300 cheaper and came with a dock that empties itself and charges it. Also it intelligently switches from hard to soft floors, on my Dyson I had to put a separate head on it. I will say I only have carpet on my stairs and the rest of my 2000 sq ft home is hard floors. For someone with a lot of carpet maybe the cord and bag really has a place but for me I'm more than happy with a stick vacuum. When Miele goes on sale I will buy one just for days when I want to deep clean because you can get the C1 on sale for under $300

I just took my cordless Dyson to the dump. Maintenance nightmare.

We have a Dyson cordless. It's been fine. We had it before we had the dog and it's still going strong 3 years in

I thought my Dyson was shite till I took it apart and cleaned it properly, turns out there was a couple of blockages that you couldn’t quite see. We also have Henry, he’s an annoying fucker but bloody brilliant. Dyson cordless for the everyday stuff, Henry for the once a week major clean!

Just to chime in here, I had a Numatic Henry vaccum for about 10 years then moved to a Chinese branded stick vaccum, just last week I bit the bullet and went with the Dyson v15 and I genuinely was shocked at its incredibly good performance. My carpets were only visibly clean till I used the v15. It seems like this subreddit, in general, is entirely anti dyson or stick vaccum/cordless, so I wouldn't pass any remarks. It's like a vendetta or cult of folk out with pitch forks to tell you why you're wrong.

I used to think Henry was a good cleaner on carpets till I moved to a Dyson, the amount of dust that was taken out of the carpet with the Dyson AFTER the Henry had went over it was insane, before this I was whole heartedly a Henry advocate.

You seem very condescending. As I pointed out - I had a Henry and always said nothing would be better than it, but I was severely wrong. I tested it when I got the new one and did a thorough clean of carpet in one bedroom and then used the V15 Detect with automatic suction and did the same pass, it was empty before use and returned half full of dust with the reading at 800 million microns on the dust screen, normal daily hoovering returns about 12 million now which is normal, even with use of a carpet cleaner like vax, but what was extracted shocked me. This was when I realised that Henry just wasn't doing what I thought it should have done. I understand that many people in this sub reddit have a thing against "plastic" stick vaccums, but I have to defend it this time around. Maybe not all of them are great but I paid 375 euro for this one which was heavily discounted. Who knows it may break in a shorter time than you'd get from other corded and bagged vaccums but I personally feel it cleans my house much better than the other two Henry's that I did have for over 15 years.

I had a Dyson ball and a Dyson stick for the last 8 years and made the switch to a Miele C3 last year. I will never go bagless again. Whole house feels so much more clean. I did not expect that.

I love my Miele. I’ve only had it about 8 years, but my parents has lasted over 25 years at this point. I also have two Dyson sticks and they work great

I work in shops, and Dyson cordless vacuums are revered. Need to vacuum up sawdust and aluminum chips and plastic shavings and metal filings? The Dyson will do it. Sharks and similar seem to break in a month or two. The power tool branded vacs are tougher but don’t work as well. The only downside is the batteries, but you can buy a DeWalt or Milwaukee adapter and never worry about it again.

I can't recommend one, but I can say that my Dyson stick vac, besides not sucking well, makes an insanely loud screaming sound, whereas the Miele C3 I just bought to use instead, is much quieter, particularly on the lower settings (where it still creates more suction than the Dyson). Oh and it filters the exhaust air better. Something to consider with a baby..

Dyson Animal Big Ball , plug-in. The pet hair attachment is great plus the main foot too. All the other attachments are ++ but for pet stuff they’re the stars Def not cordless. If I use my bf’s stick Dyson on the rug then use my Dyson there’s a noticeable difference!!! The stick is for quickies 😜

My friend with 2 goldens and wood floors gets very frustrated with their Dyson stick, I know a few yrs ago they'd sent it back a couple of times. They also have a miele corded thing, looked v basic but was quite powerful. They'd had it prob 15 yrs when I borrowed it. As for other brands of cordless things, my dad has a vac and I think I did a better job with the broom!

Dyson v15 works fantastic, got the green light on hard floor head, so I vac in the dark and see all hair and dirt. Carpet head works a treat, Power head is great for stairs and the car. Only downside is being cordless has limited run time so I alternate days I vacuum up and down stairs or give a few hours to charge up It replaced my previous Dyson v7 wich worked great when i bought my house, shortly after getting my heeler it just couldn't cope. lol

We upgraded last year to the Dyson V15 and it's been sooo worth it. The laser really helps you see where the hair, dust, and dander are on your floors. I feel like as long as you clean the filter and components semi-regularly, the vacuum will have a nice, long life.

V15 submarine. It to great vacuum with a good motorized swiffer. Worth if you can get it during a sale.

I love my Dyson stick vacuum but it ain’t cheap.

Our Dyson v15 blew my mind when we first bought it. Still does. I would pay the $$ over again, gladly.

its a bit ridiculous but I have the Dyson v15 and I love it. I bought it because of their pet brush technology, mainly, I have very long hair and have destroyed a lot of vacuums with the tangling (iykyk). maybe there are dupes, but i really don't regret it and use it almost every day.

My Miele corded vacuum has lasted for over almost 15 years. Some of the attachments look worn down, but they still work very well. I also have a Roomba and a Dyson cordless vacuum, but I don’t feel like it’s a fair comparison, since battery packs degrade over time. I’ve had to replace the battery pack for the Dyson, and my Roomba seems like it runs out of juice noticeably faster than before.

I own Dyson V15 and I don’t understand how people who have it hype about it. The only way to describe it is that it’s a toy vacuum cleaner not unlike the ones kids play house with. It has no suction power unless you go into turbo mode, which is still average at best, but then the time you can use it goes down to 5 mins or less.

I did not have reddit before buying a dyson but signed up just to warn others. It's a beautiful machine.... that works for a year and then breaks (at least the cordless one) But what makes it worse is for a "premium product" the customer service is up there in the worst I have received. My vacuum broke a month ago (it's only a year old and still under 'warrenty'). \- I have been 30 days without a vacuum (it will probably be 45-60 by the time it's sorted) \- I have spent over 6-8 hours with customer service PS. I reached out on every other channel to give them an opportunity to rectify/ sort this out and they wouldn't do anything about it. Which is why I am here warning everyone else haha I would only every by one again at Costco where you can return it right away. I bought directly from dyson and there is no honor or care for customers when working directly with them .

We have Dyson, Miele and Henry. Dyson cordless is the best for daily convenience but not so good for a deep clean and it's quite high maintenance with all the charging, emptying, filter washing, getting hair off the brushes etc. Miele is solid and the suction is bonkers but I wouldn't use it for building work etc as I want to keep it nice. Henry is the work horse for cleaning the log burner, mud, brick, sick. You can chuck anything at him but he falls over a lot.

Regretting swapping my Dyson out for my old Wertheim Pet. It was awesome at vacuuming but the Dyson v15 Detect or whatever is so portable and easy to use

I have a Dyson and a Miele. The Miele blows the Dyson out of the water. It’s not even a competition. The Dyson is cordless and convenient, but when I really want the floor super clean, I need to use the Miele.

This is absolutely a you problem. They sell millions, have done for decades. If you they were terrible, then a free-market economy would dictate that Dyson would no longer exist. You either refuse to, or dont know how to use it properly. There is a wealth of knowledge online, several videos by Dyson on how to use and maintain the product. I am millions of other people are happy with their disowns and they perform very well. This sent to say a Miele or Sebo arent good or better for some people. Ive had several Sebo models. They are also good, solid machine, but Ive had dyson for 10 years now. I still have my first purchase which works fine, and my v15 has seen very heavy abuse at my Airbnb. They are good machines.

I really have liked my dysons. I bought first one in 2008 (I had just got a second husky) and I just got rid of it last year. For the past 8 years, I used to like a shop vac of sorts in my basement (lots of fur). I’ve had one since then, still running well, it’s probably 10 years old. It’s in my new house in the basement for the carpet, and I have Dyson stick for main floor (hard floors).

Dyson stick. I've tried so many other brands. Dyson seems the best.

Just picked up a v15 and using it on hard wood and carpet. Was shocked by how much it picked up from the carpet.

Exactly this! We hoover multiple times a day with a wild toddler. I'm very happy with the cordless Dyson

I have a Dyson V15 Detect. It is a great cordless, battery operated vacuum. The only issue with Dyson is that the quality is cheap. Cheap plastic parts everywhere. The dust bin broke 3 times. The wand broke 3 times. The red clip button broke 4 times. The battery broke once. I also had to order an extra battery and an extra filter because the battery runs out very fast and the filter needs an entire day or two to dry out after cleaning. I have 2 cats and 2 kids. 3 floors in the house. Mostly hardwood with a few rugs. The Dyson does a great job on hardwood floors. It does an okay job on carpets. For the price I paid, $700, it does not feel like a $700 machine. For $700 I expect good quality, and I expect it to not break like it does. This is what makes Dyson a bad brand. However, I have yet to come across a better cordless stick vacuum. If anyone knows a better one I’m ready to listen. Nobody can name a single better cordless stick vacuum than the Dyson.

I agree. I have a V15 detect. First 2 years were great. Warranty did replace a battery, 2 bins which surround the motor, and a filter. Now I am 3 years in, buttons break every few months, the motor plastic got warped or bent to the point that it can’t firmly hold attachments anymore, including the main wand. The vacuum feels flimsy and it’s terrible at vacuuming up carpets. It’s a $700 vacuum which feels more like a $200 vacuum at best. Dyson vacuums are made of cheap plastic, and they don’t last anything but a few years. Customer service is slow and tries to deny as many things as possible. For $700 I expect premium customer service and a product that works perfectly. I’m buying a Sebo.

Dyson is the worst built vacuum cleaner out there.  I was shocked to discover that Shark appear to be better made and they are not even that good.  Dyson have a design fault with the wheels snapping off on the V15 and Gen5 models and Dyson refuse to modify the design to stop it from happening.  Their outsourced Indian contact centre is not very good and customer service has gone down hill!  I don’t want another Dyson and I’ve had Dyson since 1999!

Yes, as it looks like you are referring to stick vacuums. I got a refurbished V8 about 12 years ago. The battery started to crap out after five years, so I got a Tineco. I moved the Dyson to my second floor for quick jobs and kept the Tineco on the main floor for daily work (between wood kitchen floor, rugs and carpeted living/dining room). Then I realized I could replace the V8 battery. It came back to life and I was reminded how well it worked. I had to replace the Tineco battery after one year and then when it was dying again the second year, I gave up on it and got a new Dyson V15. It is awesome and worth every expensive penny. I have a Sebo canister vacuum as a "deep clean", but I have been underwhelmed with it. My two Dyson sticks do a great job and I vacuum pretty much everyday. I spent $200 on the Tineco that lasted two years and I hated it. I spent $200 on my 12yo V8 and replaced the battery once. I spent $700 on my new V15 and plan to have it last just as long as my V8 (which is still going strong). (Oh, I also should mention I don't have pets, but I have long hair and so does my daughter. The V15 is noticeably great at staying unclogged with wrapped up hair.)

I use the Dyson stick vacuum for pet hair daily and the Dyson animal ball weekly and I brush my dog and the cat who sheds every day and it’s honestly pretty manageable

Dyson Dyson Dyson If somebody made me choose between a free Miele and my Dyson stick I would still choose my Dyson Stick. I cannot stand plugging in vacuums ever again. I can't stand heavy vacuums. I can't stand now vacuums. I can't stand the way the bag vacuum smell because the bag is always slightly permeable it's gross. Dyson. Hands down.

Spent $600 on cordless Dyson that a piece of crap. Don’t love the corded shark either. Corded Dyson is probably the way to go

I have a Dyson cordless. It is amazing. Two Border Collies in the house 🤯

When we bought a multi level house and had pets and small children around we wanted to "upgrade" as well. Any with a Dyson stick as they seemed to be good. We loved the portability over the old hover and thought it was great. After a few years it started to show the truth. Crumbs would fall back down the tube. Multiple passes over items would still leave them on the ground. We when went as far a getting the old Hoover back out and realized just how much the Dyson missed. That lead me down the rabbit hole of what is actually good. Ended up with Miele, it's remarkable how well it performs.

I love my Dyson v15. I have a long haired cat and often I end up vacuuming after her twice a day. It’s just easier running around with a cordless, and it picks up so much hair. I had a v7 before this one and when I upgraded I vacuumed with the 7 and then the 15 just to see the difference. Couldn’t believe how much extra hair the 15 picked up. I did have an issue with the submarine head but they sent me a new one with no fuss.

I have a Dyson v15 detect and i love it. With proper maintenance it just keeps going. I have a very fluffy cat and it does amazing picking up all the fur on the carpet and hardwood and furniture

Har ikke hatt samme kvalitetsproblemer med min Dyson etter 3 år. Har den stående lett tilgjengelig for kjapp støvsuging av gang, kjøkken og spisestue. Så setter jeg ut ordentlig støvsuger når det skal ukesvaskes i hus. Pluss en Roomba som surrer rundt av og til og setter seg fast i lekene til de små (2voksne-2barn-200kvm)

I have a Dyson v15 and it's the best vacuum I've ever had

I feel like I must be the only person who loves their cordless dyson. I have a toddler and a baby and I have to hoover like three times a day.. if I had a big chunky corded thing, I definitely just wouldn't bother.

We bought a dyson earlier this year and it's my favourite thing we ever bought. It just makes it all so much easier and now I hoover most days because it takes the hassle out of lugging the yoke around. I haven't used a Shark so can't offer comparison, but I really do love my dyson.

We got the v15, I think it was about €699 at the time (we had vouchers from our wedding, otherwise we'd never have afforded that!). If I was you, I'd spend the extra few bob for the v12, my opinion is usually to try get the best you can, rather than a lower quality model to end up buying another! I do use it as my main hoover, but to be fair I get a cleaner in fortnightly, so she does a big hoover and then I keep on top of it. I know the folks over in r/vacuumcleaners have a vendetta against dyson and claim you can't use it as your main hoover or your house will be dirty, but I reckon those people maybe have super high standards haha! I have a toddler and a newborn so it just suits my lifestyle well because I can do a quick run around during the day to keep on top of the floors.

Kjøpte Dyson for 4 år siden. Enebolig 270 kvm Ikke fullgod erstatning, den gamle electrolux'n gjorde jobb med byggestør, grovstøv og alt man gav den, men Dyson funker helt fint til ukesvasken - i den forstand er den fullgod. Ville jeg kjøpt igjen - NEI. Batteriet ble veldig fort dårlig, og var helt ubrukelig etter tre år. Nytt kostet høvdinger. Vi har kjøpt overgang til dewalt-batteri, for å kunne støvsuge uten å ha årlig forbruk på batteriskifte! Videre sprekker og slites alle deler som de var papp. Munnstykker, feste, filterhetter - alt har måttet blitt byttet i løpet av to til fire år, og alt koster skjorta å bytte. RÆL!

Goedkoop is duurkoop. Doen hier de gehele woning met een Dyson v15. We hebben ook een zwaar uitgevoerde Henry en de Dyson is net zo goed zo niet beter.

Accurate copy of a Dyson cordless then, in my experience!

My Miele C3 fails to vacuum newfie hair from carpets but my Dyson v15 manages it perfectly! Even from fluffy and sisal rugs. With both the Total and pet hair attachments.

Dyson v15 detect with both fluffy and total attachments! This is what I have and really love to use. I also have a Miele C3 which is an acceptable vacuum in this group, but I really only like to use the Dyson v15. The Dyson even vacuums all the newfoundland dog hairs from sisal carpets which Miele miserably fails to do. As a bonus I like to vacuum dust and crap from sofas and tabletops and ceilings etc. which I would never do with Miele. So I recommend you go for v15. I have older Dyson models as well and cannot recommend those.

Miele C3 for a weekly vacuuming, Bissell Crosswave to followup on hardfloor and area rugs/carpets (removes hair and sand/dirt extremely well) and a Dyson v15 for daily maintenance.

Love my Dyson! I’ve owned 3 (1 upright Aninal from 2004, still ran when I donated it last year and only ever needed one belt changed) and 2 cordless sticks. No problems with any of them. The first Dyson I bought replaced a lemon Hoover that cost me as much as the Dyson. I’d never go back.

The dyson we are just replacing is going on 9 years. We did swap out the battery for a bigger one. It still runs great, except it has damage from falling into the ground due to our child trying to vacuum and leaving it in strange place. But considering how many times it has been dropped its going okay. 

Ours took a tumble down the stairs a few times too.  So it has taken a beating and it is the primary vacuum we use so it hasn't been too bad. 

We have the shark vacuum others have mentioned, a Roomba, and a cordless Dyson 😅 I still feel like I'm struggling to keep up with dog hair. We just got a new Dyson, but the shark vacuum is 6 years old and still working fine. I do have to replace or clean the filters pretty often though. Edited to add the shark one we have is the navigator.

Gen5Detect but the soft roller really makes it a stick clean so much better. Relying on suction alone isn’t ideal since they don’t have as much as stronger corded vacs.

I see the appeal of a stick. I have a V15. It’s about 3 yrs old. It’s primary role is for in-between cleans, small messes. Touch-ups. But, if I am going to vac our main living areas or the entire house, I can get the job done a lot faster with my Miele. If I am going to deep clean the carpet, I don’t pre-vac with my V15. I use my Kirby. If I am going to detail a vehicle, Miele. If I am going to use attachments for deep cleaning, Miele.

What is your budget? Dyson Outlet Store online sells factory-remanufactured V15 vacs for $409. You won’t be able to tell the difference between one of those and a “new” V15. I paid almost double that for mine a few years ago. No issues with it.

The V12 isn’t meant to be a powerful model. That’s the V15, and it does a remarkably good job.

How much can you spend? Poor cleaning and filtration performance would be my main concern with cordless, not quality. You might be inclined to vacuum more often with a cordless, but what’s the point if it can’t remove the bulk of the fur, dirt, etc? Perhaps you don’t know, but there are differences between cleaning performance and filtration (2nd most important aspect) between vacuums. In other words, a cordless vacuum gives you convenience but will leave your home not as clean as you might think it would. I have a Dyson V15 which is one of the best-cleaning and filtering cordless vacs available and it still leaves dirt and fur behind in our carpet, couch, etc. We have pets, dogs and cats, and bad allergies in my home. The cordless vacs I’ve used just don’t cut it. Even if we lived in a small apartment, it would still leave fur and dirt behind and that is the stuff that causes allergies, breathing issues, odors, and other problems. Another thing is that when cordless stick vacs are used as main vacuums consistently, that is when they start to break. Cordless sticks have always been intended to be used as in-between clean vacuums. There are some cordless uprights, but they still don’t have the power of the better corded uprights and canisters. I think you should consider buying a corded sealed-system bagged vacuum with a long* cord and then buy a cordless sealed-system vac to supplement usage. You can get corded vacs with automatic retracting cords so you don’t have to wrap it up after each use. You can get them with cords long enough that you don’t have to plug them in but one time, and most uprights have a cord hook that you can turn to let the whole cord down at once so you don’t have to slowly un-wrap it. You can avoid cord tangling by wrapping them in a figure-8. Hoover Commercial makes some cordless uprights, including one called the Hushtone. They use paper bags, though. You ideally would like a bagged vac using HEPA or high filtration cloth* bags. Riccar makes a super light weight cordless upright that filters well but it’s mainly for carpet. I’d look into a Kenmore 600 Series if budget is a concern, or one of the other bagged corded Kenmore models. Then, look into a sealed-system Dyson stick for supplemental usage. I’m not as familiar with sticks from other brands but Shark may have one that is competitive in performance. They didn’t when I bought my V15 but that was several years ago. If budget is not a concern or you can spend more if you really decide it’s worth it, look at Sebo Dart, Felix, Sebo canisters, Miele C3, Lindhaus, Riccar, Rainbow, etc. Miele makes a decent stick but only the base model HX1 is worth it.

V15 - ours is 3 - 4 yrs old. No problems. Our Shark needed a new power nozzle in less than 6 of use because the brush roll ripped, and it’s not replaceable by itself. You have to replace the entire power head. On the Dyson, way more individual parts are replaceable including the brush roll, so it’s definitely more serviceable and repairable. Therefore, the V15 is the most dependable. Just make sure to fully charge it before turning it on. Wash the filter monthly, replace annually. Wash brush rolls, dust bin periodically, blow out cyclone periodically. It has more suction than 99% if other vacuums and the carpet cleaning is admirable - impressive for a stick.

For what, your weight set? Jk. Dyson V15 Detect, Gen5Detect, and Miele Triflex HX2 are the most powerful stick vacs. Some people complain about the way the HX2’s dust bin opens but it really is simple and takes not time at all. You turn the lid counterclockwise to 10 O’ Clock position to remove it, then turning the lid to the counterclockwise 8 O’ Clock position opens the trapped door which is where the dirt falls out of. Full machine disassembly for deep cleaning / repair / service is significantly easier with the Triflex. It relies on one cyclone whereas the V15 and Gen5Detect have numerous cyclone (6 or 8?), so they don’t need filter cleaning as often. Their dirt bin capacities are a little larger, but they should all be emptied after each use imo. For all sticks, fully charge the battery before using it the first time. Does something to pair it with the circuit board.

The Dyson V15 and Gen5Detect are the most powerful cordless stick vacs. I believe they’re worth owning, but they aren’t worth being the only vacuum someone has. In other words, a good corded main vac is still necessary for deep cleaning.

I used to have a Dyson and just switched to a corded Miele. I loved my Dyson but the power ability on the Miele is waaay exceeding my expectations. I don’t struggle too much with the cord, it’s pretty long and has a nice retractable function. The cordless Dyson is so convenient but I like how much cleaner I feel my house is with the Miele

I have the C3 Marin with two cats and it's amazing. The Dyson I had to empty multiple times while using because of how badly the cat hair clumped in it. I also recommend replacing the HEPA filter with the charcoal one.

I feel like there aren’t any bifl stick vacs because bags wouldn’t really be practical, and the better manufacturers know that bagless vacs generally don’t clean as well. FWIW, I have a sebo canister vac for intermittent deep cleans — the thing is crazy powerful, and *will* probably last forever — and a Dyson stick that I use for daily pet hair duty. The Dyson is kind of a joke next to the sebo, but the ease of getting it around the house makes it my go-to for quick cleanups. (The batteries do need to be replaced once in awhile.)

I feel like cordless sticks are more designed for small flats. Like if I had a house I‘d never buy a Dyson stick. But I have a 30 square meter flat and there is immovable furniture in that space. I probably need to clean 10-20 square meter. The Dyson is amazing for that. I don’t need a battery that lasts more than 15 minutes.

Well a lot of people own Dysons that are nearly 20 years old and still working fine. That’s good enough for me. Who knows what kind of technology we will have in 2040?

90% of the population aren’t real cleaners though and that’s fine. I have a 30 square meter flat. And I work full time, no pets etc. I just need something lightweight and that doesn’t need much space. Dyson is perfect for that.  Just because professionals don’t use something, doesn’t mean it isn’t perfect for the average person.

Not cheap but a Dyson cordless is great

I've previously had a Shark Upright and now have a Dyson Stick. I think both are fine. Honestly the biggest thing that made me go with Dyson over Shark for my current vacuum is being able to maintain my vacuum. When looking online and in store it was hard to tell how I would clean the regular floor head myself with the Shark, while the Dyson is incredibly simple. Even the filter on the Dyson is washable, I don't have to replace any disposable parts all the time. If I can't maintain and clean my own cleaning tools they're doomed to be replaced sooner.

Funny. Have a Dyson V15 and hate that thing. Underpowered, always clogging. Got a cheap, lightweight plug-in Shark and love that thing. Handles everything and never complains. My only point being life rarely provides one right answer. Hope everyone finds their BIFL.

> The anti-Dyson sentiment in places like a vacuum sub always feels like sock puppets shooting them down to promote their own brand or people just being opposed to what is popular. This and "enthusiests" in any given segment will be willing to give up convenience and performance. They always miss the entire point of a dyson, which is completely convenience. I don't want to lug around a bagged vacuum, I don't want to have to plug it in, dyson retains the build & performance but makes it cordless and quiet.

I have an older Shark and a newer Dyson V15. The Shark is corded, but it is awesome and powerful.  The Dyson is great but it's more for smaller jobs.  The tank is so small and the battery doesn't last long for big messes in high power mode.  I would look at Shark models if I were in the market to solve your problem.

> It's not terrible, but you can spend a little more and get another brand that is much better. I would say the value comparison isn't that simple. Performance-wise, the Ryobi didn't do great, but those are difficult tests. How often do any of us vacuum a cup full of sand out of our carpets? I would expect much less of a performance gap doing typical household vacuuming. I think it would be fair to say the test shows this specific Ryobi (I've heard the newest model is better) is not a good choice for anyone who hopes for it to be their only vacuum for a home with lots of carpet (although arguably no stick vacuum is a good choice as the only vacuum for a home with lots of carpet). As a convenience complement to a corded vacuum or as the primary vacuum for a home with all hard floors, however, a lower level of performance may be pretty satisfactory. You are right that the top scorer, the Dyson V15, clearly performs much better in every category, but it doesn't cost "a little more." It's currently almost 3x the price (I see $560 at Costco)! For that, you get a single battery, which I think is 54 Wh (21.6V V x 2.5Ah), plus a very slow charger (4.5 hours). If you want a spare battery to be able to swap out to keep going, or as eventual replacement, it's $150. The Ryobi comes with 180 Wh worth of batteries (although the 2Ah is probably not ideal for use with the vac), and a charger that can fill a 4Ah battery in about 2 hours for $199. In the OP's case, the cost difference is even bigger, because he's going to return the batteries and use what he already has. $97 vs $560? I think you have to very clearly need the better performance to justify such a big leap. Obviously the comparison is closer versus some of the other models. Of the models that beat the Ryobi, the LG seemed like perhaps the best value ($278 at Home Depot). Perhaps that is close enough to reasonably characterize as "spend a little more and get much better" compared to $199 for the Ryobi. But still less so compared to $97 for the Ryobi.

I don’t know. I have both a Dyson v15 and a Miele bagged vacuum. They’re both good for different things. It’s foolish to just blindly say don’t use Dyson. It’s a really efficient cordless vac for quick jobs

100%. Pretty much veryone hates Dyson on these forums. I’d hate to lug my large Miele around with me everywhere I go to clean. I worked as a service tech on Miele and probably won’t ever buy one now. They are both designed for different situations. But the Dyson in my house gets used the most.

Yeah I worked as a vacuum tech for years and sold Miele, Sebo and Dysons, But Mieles were in for repair probably the most. All the service techs including me hated them. Way over priced and a royal pain to work on/get parts. The Dyson cordless that that I’ve owned for six years now has worked flawlessly and still gets 40 minutes on charge easily. And also for all the Dysons I’ve recommended to people through the years have all worked amazing. Dyson blows the competition away when it comes to innovation, and the overall product experience, especially the cordless game. Will never go back from Dyson. I do really like Sebo! Just expensive and hate bags/low portability.

Miele is the best but for ease a dyson cordless is good - maybe the pet hair one. I have both- dyson for small jobs and Miele for big jobs. After i upgraded the dyson battery it works better than ever after 6 + years.

They are dotted around the house: One Shark, one Dyson cordless (on its way out), one Dyson corded. I think there's a second Dyson somewhere, but I use that to suck up spiders and gravel. And a Eufy robovacmop thing. Edit: and a Vax carpet cleaner.

I got the V15 at costco on a sale two years back. That green laser feature seemed like a gimmick but my Lord it makes me enjoy vacuuming so much more. being able to see all those layers of dust and then seeing them disappear is incredibly cathartic and that alone makes it worth it for me

I have 3 Dysons, 1 corded upright & 2 cordless stick vacs. All operating fine with no issues as of yet. My 1st cordless from around 2006 is stir used weekly. Only I have had to replace the battery & brush accessory. But overall Ive been pleased.

I think the Dyson cordless is best for hard floors and area rugs. Wall to wall carpet is too dense and requires a corded vacuum. We have no carpet just area rugs and bare wood floors and it handles our dog hair great.

I got a V7 in like...2018 maybe? I've replaced the battery three times and the canister just broke. I snagged a V15 off Woot last week for $350 and I'll be happy with another ~7 years. This sub is really annoying about stick vacuums. Yeah no kidding it's not going to deep clean my floors. I just need to clean up after the kids eat, y'know? I'm not pulling out a canister vacuum three times a day FFS.

Yes. Cordless Dyson is the way.

I didn't think so, but I've only used their stick vacuum. It had issues, and when I was in the market for a new vacuum 5-6 years ago I had a couple of friends and also a couple of local vacuum shops recommending I avoid Dyson. I decided to go with a Mielle canister instead. I have two huskies and it does a great job with all surfaces. The canister is very light and not clunky at all to pull around (which was my biggest worry). I'd recommend checking this brand out if you're unsure about Dyson.

Dyson Detect is crap. Worst $1k I’ve ever spent. Get a Miele if you want to actually CLEAN.

We have a Miele, a Dyson stick vac, and a shark robo vac. We use them for different purposes, but all have their place in our house. Miele came first though almost 10 years ago and it’s never had any issues.

I love my Dyson stick vac for spot cleaning and smaller jobs - couldn’t recommend it enough.

I have a cat and she sheds a lot! 😹 I used to have a Dyson but I hate to hold pressing the power button all the time. I love my LG.

I would suggest the Dyson V15 Detect if you want to stick with Dyson, the soft roller is great on hard floors and the motor bar is amazing for pet hair on carpet. It's also slightly lighter than the V15s in hand, but not by much (4.08 lbs vs 3.7 lbs). I've seen the Costco version at $799.99 on sale for Boxing Day and Black Friday, but right now it's at its full price of around $999.99. Dyson also sells it refurbished for $549.99. As an alternative, you can look into the Shark Stratos Cordless, which performs slightly worse on carpet, but is also $229.99 at Costco and $399.99 at Walmart. As a heads-up, users on this sub have mentioned that Dyson and Shark stick vacs are less well-built and reliable over time, so it's something to keep in mind. If you want a stick vac that's well-built, look into the Miele Duoflex HX1 which you can find for around 700-900 depending on the variant. In our testing, it didn't do as well as the Dyson, but it's definitely better built and feels much more solid. It's heavier than the v15s though.

Based on our testing, they all do about the same on hard floor, but the V15 Detect has the edge on carpet. I'd say go with the Stratos Cordless. It's cheaper, and the bending wand does help its maneuverability. We use the Dyson V15s Detect as our "reset" vacuum between testing quite a few times a week, and it's been working well for 2ish years now. That being said, I have seen posts on here that have said both Shark and Dyson are not really "buy it for life" products, especially when it comes to their batteries so that's something to keep in mind.

If you're specifically looking for a Dyson. Of these three, I'd recommend the V15 Detect. The Gen5detect isn't that much of an upgrade and only performed marginally better on hard floor while doing worse on carpet. The battery life on all of them is pretty bad tbh (fairly common for cordless vacs), but the detect feature helps balance stretch it. I'd suggest the Costco version (if it's cheaper or the same price) because it comes with way more attachments.

We have a Dyson cordless and I love it.

Thank you I will look into that. I had a bad experience with Dyson - to me it was a piece of junk; only lasted a year. I really liked my two Orecks. In my dreams I want a really powerful robot vacuum but I don’t know if such a thing exists. They seem to be made for hard floors.🙄

I have had my Oreck serviced 4 or 5 times Day Cin Vacuums. They are great. But at some point I have purchased a new vacuum in service fees.😊 I like upright vacuums but as I get older it’s harder to use it on my two flights of stairs 😹. Bought a Dyson stick vac a couple years ago - big mistake. They are not meant for people with carpets or pets and I have both.

Costco has the v15 detect for $699.

I just grabbed the v15 detect. The laser shows you how nasty the floors are as you vacuum. It senses heavy debris and change of floor height and adjusts speed automatically. This is my 3rd Dyson and I’ve been happy with them all.

I gave up on Dyson after seeing damage to my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. The fluffy head sits too close to the floors on the laser side. As it moves back and forth, it sometimes scrapes the beveled edges. Exchanged one V15 after that happened, thinking it was just that one that was defective. Second one ended up doing the same, and the canister seal broke after a month. Returned to Costco, never will buy another Dyson. Just bought a Sebo K3 which comes with a parquet floor brush which is gentle on hardwood floors.

I just returned a V15 because the seal in the canister broke after about a month. Also the laser fluffy brush sits so close to hardwood floors, and the laser side was scraping on some of my beveled edges of my hardwood floors which are less than 2 years old. I just bought a Sebo K3, which comes with the parquet brush for wood floors.

I have to agree with this. Returned my V15 because the fluffy brush was not gentle on my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. Bought a Sebo which is gentle on my wood floors as it comes with a nice parquet floor brush.

I had a Dyson V15, and the fluffy head was not gentle on my hickory wood floors!

I bought a V10 and had brand new hardwood floors. They market the regular brush head as being safe for all flooring. I found out the hard way, that it was removing some of the finish by some of the beveled edges. So I bought a V15. Thought the fluffy would be safe. It was not. Returned both to Costco.

I have had a very heavy Electrolux Epic 8000 canister for 19 years. Bought a Dyson thinking it would work well for in between, and thought it would work well for all the Golden hair on my NEW hardwood floors. The V10 Dyson head was taking the finish off of the tops of some of the beveled edges! I liked the convenience of it, so bought a V15 thinking the fluffy head would not damage my hardwood floors, but it also was doing the same. Returned one V15 thinking it was a fluke. Bought another V15, and the canister seal broke after a month. Returned again to Costco, and never again for any Dyson! My 8000 needs a new hose, and debated on getting that or looking at the store. Vac store had Miele and Sebo, both of which are highly recommended here. Vac store let me take home 2 models to try, the Sebo K3 and E3. The parquet wood floor brush has a better shape than the floor brush for my 8000. I found the smaller size of the K3, and the smaller hose, to maneuver better than the E3. Wish it had a larger bag and a headlight for the carpet brush. Overall happy with the K3. Bought an unused open box unit for $749. My local store recommended the Sebo over Miele, saying the warranty was better. I did not try any of the Miele models. I also like the fact that the Sebo canister models have bumpers around the edges, so they can’t damage furniture, corners, etc. The Sebo K3 would be a bit higher than your price range, and the E3 would be more. Hopefully your local store sells both Sebo and Miele.

I have a Sebo K3 and an old reliable Electrolux Epic 8000. I bought a Dyson V10 and a V15. Both were returned to Costco. Yes, they are convenient, but otherwise they are crap. Not gentle on rugs or wood floors either.

I have used Dyson stick vacuums for almost a decade and I don’t regret it at all. I have never had any issues with them and the aftercare from Dyson Australia has always been fantastic. I think it’s absolutely crucial to maintain your Dyson to keep it running smoothly.

Well, just making sure I clean the filters regularly, like once a month or so. And cleaning out the bin part every so often and also the turbo brush. And not over filling the bin. That’s just been my experience, but I acknowledge others have ran into issues with their Dyson.

I love my Dyson stick vacuum. I stand by Dyson as my brand of choice for vacuums

The batteries on the Dyson stick vacuums, well, they suck, and not in a good way. They last about as long as a short fuse on a firecracker.

The problem is not that the battery runs out during normal use, it's that EVERY SINGLE TIME you use max suction mode, it shortens the life of the battery. The user manual might say to only use max suction mode in short bursts, but it still doesn't change the fact that max suction mode is so bad for the battery that it shouldn't even be an option.

I'll prob get downvoted for this bc dyson but woot is currently selling the v15 detect factory reconditioned for $350. I bought this same deal about a year ago and it's been really great. It was basically brand new and is the best vacuum I've ever owned.

I own two Dysons and a Miele C3. I've had the Dyson Ball for about 12 years. I hated emptying the thing because of all the dust, etc, forcing me to always take it to the outside trashcan, which cut down on vacuuming in the winter and in the rain. Based on many, many recommendations I got the Miele and the powerhead jammed with pet hair within the first few minutes. "Not a problem, I'll just pull the roller and cut the hair off", I thought. The damn thing is not designed to be serviced except by a repairman. Seriously, even for hair wound up on the roller bar. After spending a couple of hours taking apart and putting it back together, I 3D printed an adapter to accommodate my Dyson tangle free turbine, which handles pet hair with practically no issues. That is a pretty good combination, to be honest, but that Dyson head is only about 4 inches wide, resulting in a lot of push/pull over the carpet. Plenty of suction from the Miele which, other than the servicing issue, I think is a good vacuum, but seriously over-priced--just like most Dysons. But after 5 years of the Miele-Dyson combo, I researched to see if the was anything new to tackle pet hair and found Dyson had improved things while Miele appears stuck. Enter the Dyson V15 Detect. I have not touched the Miele since I got the V15 a year ago. Good battery, good suction, handles pet hair way better than the old tangle-free turbine head and I can pull the roller bar, clear the wound up hair and be vacuuming again in less than 5 minutes. I still have the Miele and I should probably do a test with a clean bag and see how much of anything the V15 is missing (since the V15 will get all the pet hair). There are definite advantages to being corded and using bags, but those same things are also negatives in many circumstances. With the V15, I am less reluctant to vacuum and tackle patches of pet hair with vigor. With the Miele, I am pretty confident it is removing plenty of fine dust with the HEPA filtering and changing a bag is cleaner than emptying the V15 (which is far better than the old Dyson ball canister). I like my V15 for now. I'd love to see something better for pet hair from ANYBODY in the next 5 years, but especially from the robo-vacuum folks.

Ja polecam Dysona V15 Submarine. Nawet moj 10 letni syna odkurza chetnie mieszkanie.

Our cat loves to get worked over with the Dyson cordless, but he’s kinda special.

Our Dyson V15 works great, haven't regretted the purchase at all. Super convenient to use, super easy to empty, saying that as someone with ADHD who absolutely despises cleaning. Battery life is great for our 2B2B home, can go over all the floors about twice after fully charging. We don't have pets, but my partner and I both have very long hair that gets everywhere and it's been great with that. Our home is half carpet and half engineered hardwood, so it's great it comes with different heads for different floorings. I have a love-hate relationship with the fluffy optic cleaner head that lights up dust, because on one hand it's so satisfying to see the dust and then see it get vacuumed up, but it also shows all the scratches on the floor left by construction lol.

Pricy but Dyson v15 worked

I really wanted to love the Dyson cordless vacuums, but I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming. Plus, the stick vacuums are a bit top heavy as well so it just felt super awkward to maneuver. It could just be because my hands are super hypermobile and so it’s ridiculously uncomfortable. I’m researching other cordless/stick brands.

I can say the Miele C1,2, and 3 bags or like $45 for the XL ones and it’s 8 bags or for you, a year supply. though you might only go through 5-6 cause they do compact the dust pretty well. And it comes with 2 pre motor filters and 2 post motor filters. So you get to change it’s primary filter every time you change bags, the pre motor filter which is what keeps the motor clean and running for a long time every 4 bags and the post motor filter which is the the last stand filter for anything that might have made it through every 4 bags. Also air flowing through a MERV 13 filter several times is the equivalent to a hepa filter cause they filter the same .3 micron particles and hepa filters 99% and MERV 13 filters 75-85%. So this would be close if not better than “hospital grade filtration.” And if you must they sell a hepa grade post motor filter as well for most models. So bagged would be great for your needs, and for an extra $45 you get a machine that will last at least twice if not up to four times as long as any baggless vacuum. I also own a Dyson stick for the past 2 years and my dad owns a Dyson animal ball for the past 15 years and they work pretty darn well. Shark might not last as long but the don’t leak dust either and is cheaper from what I’ve seen so its also is a viable option. Best of luck!!

I had the cordless stick Dyson. It was average as far as performance and died within 2 years. I replaced with a Shark that has been doing great for 5 years now and still going strong.

I swapped C3 with Dyson v15, apart from being portable, Dyson is definitely worse in every category.

I love mine, a Dyson. It lives in our pantry and I use it multiple times a day. It’s definitely not meant for heavy duty vacuuming, I still like a regular old plug in one. But it’s SO nice for a quick clean up with two toddlers and a dog.

I think the main take away is bags. The canister is a messy hassle to empty. It's my only real complaint with my Dyson v15.

My husband bought a v15 Dyson with all the attachments. It's nice but emptying the bin after every other use is annoying. Cleaning the after filter is messy and annoying. Blowing out the cyclone part of the filter is messy AF. And for people who live in apartments or similar would be impossible. However my Kirby is self propelled and I get about 2-3 months on a bag. Belts last forever and it has huge amounts of suction. Like it lifts the carpet up kind of suction. And I don't have to worry about running out of battery or hurting the battery.

The laser head is so fun to use. We have 2 cordless Dysons and they get regular use with our 2 dogs and 7 cats. No complaints whatsoever. Had the V11 for a while now and the laser one is more recent. I think some people don’t realize the vacuums themselves need cleaning once in a while - like rinsing off the filter and taking the rollers off to clean them.

Nekem mindkettő van. Philips olcsóbb es minden tartozék ban van világítás , viszont nagyon kényes a szűrőre, állandóan pucolni meg cserélni kell. Dyson drágább , nem kenyeskedik, mosható filterrel, viszont nehezebb es nyomni kell folyamatosan a működtetéshez. Na most en mindkettőt levittem a nyaralokba, es otthoni állandó használatra vettem egy Shark- ot, az lett a befutó , a dokkoloban kiüríti magát , nem hisztis, nem kell folyamatosan nyomni .

Megnéztem közben a Philips az a 7000- es széria , dyson az a v15 , Shark meg a Cordless detect pro max

Nah. I have a Dyson v15 and it takes care of dust and dog hair just fine. With that being said I'm currently looking at a sebo felix because I have a self control problem.

I bought a Dyson v15 about 4 yrs ago. Didn't have any issues with it until one day the display went bad and I had no problems what so ever getting a replacement sent to me. Same when a battery started not holding a charge. From what's been posted on here lately tho it sounds like their customer service has gone to 💩. It's a shame because I really like the v15 but I'm going to have to look elsewhere when I have to buy a new vac.

I’ve got a Dyson cordless and a Miele corded. The Dyson is great for everyday cleaning up after the kids as it’s a pain to drag the other one out all the time. But I wouldn’t want to rely on the Dyson as the Miele is so much more powerful. I think all cordless ones will be limited unless you don’t have any carpets or rugs.

I’ve got a fifteen year old Miele vacuum that could suck up a black hole and a cordless Dyson stick thing that has been absolutely fine. The Dyson one is great for everyday cleaning after the kids and the Miele is dragged around every couple of weeks for a deep clean. I also have a Henry that I got after buying the house as I wanted something to deal with the DIY mess. It does the job and is pretty robust but the Miele is much better but also cost a lot more.

Dyson V15 is a good choice

We have the v15 had for over a year now and it's been fantastic. Never knew we had so much dirt lodged in the carpet. Battery life is still more than enough to clean the whole fairly big sized house

A Mighty Mite, a Henry Pet, or a Dyson stick, depending on the jobs. I’ll occasionally use a client vacuum but generally they’re not maintained well.

Did you just call Dyson underpowered? Lol. Even the cordless V15 has 17.6 kpa. What on Earth are you vacuuming where that isn't sufficient? The Gen5Detect has 280 Air Watts of suction. If you aren't getting a clean carpet from it, you need to vacuum more than once a month.

Perhaps, but I feel like lugging a canister is a step backward for me. I love that I can grab my V15 Detect on the fly, it's always fully charged, lightweight, and can do a quick spruce up and get perfect results in minutes. It's so easy and convenient being lightweight and cordless that I vacuum probably every other day at this point, sometimes daily, and my floors are always nice and clean after. (I have a dog and a young child for reference of how they get dirty again so fast, and we are a no shoes in the house family and still need to vacuum often). Most of my house is hardwood anyways, so cordless stick makes sense for that with the microfiber head.

Terrible price. Go to Dyson official ebay store or Dyson website and get a refurbished. Can get the new v15 for that price which is wayyy better V11 is like 250 which is a huge improvement on the v10 as well

Very happy with our Dyson, and also wouldn’t want to lug around a 4ah battery on a stick vacuum.

My V15 Detect died after a year and they've had my dead vacuum for over a month now. Customer support is a joke. French rep literally told me the service in English sucked and that's why they couldn't figure what's going on.

This feels like I wrote this. The exact same has happened to me with my V15.

4 cats Dyson stick vacuum!

I know it's not even close to being on the list, but the LG CordZero A949 (with the charging/emptying base and power mop) is ffuuucking awesome. I ordered it and the Dyson v15 at the same time and returned the Dyson. Yes, the Dyson was better one-on-one if you only compare the suction and pure vacuuming power. But the adaptability and multi-functionality of something like the LG is just amazing for my house (1350 sqft house, usually end up using one of the two batteries for a quick clean).

I’m genuinely not sure what this sub hates Dysons so much. I’ve had an upright for 15 years now and have never had an issue. And I’ve had a Dyson stick vacuum for 5 years and no issues.

I’ve had a Dyson upright for going on 15 years now and have never had an issue. I’ve also had one of their stick vacuums for about 5 years and again, no issues. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My Dyson v15 was the best purchase I've ever made. I love that fucking bastard.

I guess I got lucky because my Dyson v15 detect vacuum has been amazing. It got a broken wheel and I contacted support and they sent out a replacement straight away no hassle

I bought a Dyson cordless vacuum in 2018, so far no issues but then again it’s only been going on 7 years. But I’ve been spoiled by cordless vacuuming, especially since my house was built in the 20s and has few options for outlets.

The v15 is a powerhouse. I use a v7 for my hard floors and low pile carpet. I finish up the carpet with a hoover powerdash pet and I finish up the hard floors with a hoover floor mate deluxe. I use either of my dyson for dusting surfaces, then I come back with a microfiber or swiffer.

Ik raad echt alleen maar Dyson aan, van klantenservice tot product krijg je waar voor je geld. Helaas kost t wel belachelijk veel geld. De bedrade Dyson die ik 15 jaar geleden had gekocht ( pfff das oud ... ) was 5 jaar geleden door een defect stuk gegaan en heb kosteloos een nieuwe gekregen. Ik woon inmiddels 20 jaar op mezelf, heb voor de Dyson 2 andere zakloze zuigers gehad, welke duidelijk duurkoop waren. Draadloos ook een Dyson gekocht en hier niets over te klagen.

I bought a Dyson cordless a few years back and the first week I had it i new it was a mistake it will only stay charged long enough for me to do one room I call Dyson and they said that was the way it was the battery  only last about 15 minutes  a waste of money I bought a sharp I can leave it off the charger for one day and go back the next day and it is still charged amazing how much a Dyson cost and not worth a dine and a sharp half the price and ten times better  I would never recommend a duson

I also have Dyson vacuums (upright plug-in and cordless) and both have served me well, but I have had to replace the battery on my cordless (under warranty) as well as replace the trigger button (time-consuming but only $20).

I also have pets and got a Miele C1 Cat and Dog. The suction is fantastic, but due to the fur tumbleweeds and tracked in dirt, I vacuum every other day or so. For that I find myself reaching for my backup Dyson stick - the canister is just too much of a pain for a quickie rug pass. Miele is the weekly “CLEAN ALL THE THINGS” tool. So if you are a chronic vaccunmer, I’d suggest either getting a Miele (or comparable) stick vac, or if you go canister, get a cheap backup for quickie fur jobs.

I have the v15. I like it. We also have Sebo and rainbow, but the dyson is the main grab and go vacuum through the week. Yes, it picks everything up and while the particle sensor doesn’t work, it holds a long long charge and has good suction still.

I have a few cordless dysons that work well. I prefer our Dyson v8. We have a refurbished unit that’s at least 5 years old and it’s been great! We also have a v15, but that model has given us some issues. I think that a good cordless is a great complement to a larger machine for deep cleans.

Really like the dyson cordless! Didnt buy the fanciest. Bought a shark corded and absolutely hate it after using the other.

I have both Dyson corded and cordless vacs. They both excel at shedding plastic parts all over the house. Junk.

Anyone without the detect feature. My v15 detect has been nothing but problems. A lot of people would agree.

Mine was about a year and 2 months before it broke. I hope yours doesn't experience the same issue 🙏

I was having an issue where I would start the vacuum and it would cut power. Repress the trigger it would run for another few seconds then cut power. I spoke with support and the first time they sent a new battery. It made the problem even worse. Second time they said the body was defective and sent a replacement. Apparently it's a real common issue with the detect models as I discovered after the fact. Something to do with the detect sensor crapping out.

We have the dyson V15 and love it. Our house is mostly hard surfaces but having the guide light shows you how much hair builds up in a short time and it has great suction and a good battery life.

if I could jump in, my dyson just died after two years. Need a cordless vac for a three bedroom townhouse. Any recs? for tiles and wooden floors. In australia. No special needs bar some messy kids

Cordless Miele is worse compared to cordless Dyson. I have both.

I got an older cordless dyson for free and thought i hit the jackpot. charged it and it only ran for 30 seconds. no problem just bought a new battery for $30. ran pretty well until the brush stopped turning 2 months later. cleaned it, completely disassembled it and nothing. my parents had a kenmore bag canister they didn’t want. i kid you not my carpet changed color. i had no idea how much gunk was missed by my dyson. and the canister came with a bunch of different brushes and accessories and different floor settings. i will never use a cordless stick vac again no matter how much people rave about the dyson. they die pretty quickly and aren’t as durable and multipurpose.

Im in US and LOVE my cordless Dyson vac. Its super easy to get hay clogs out of. Do they sell Dyson there?

I have a v15 detect, emptying it is a nightmare, it doesn't do a great job on carpet, and the filter needs to be cleaned too frequently. Now I only use it for quick cleanups. The v15 is no match for my new Sebo E3, now that's a vacuum!

I'm in the same boat. I have a Dyson v15 which we owned for years. But since living with a Newf, I realized how useless this stick vacuum is. It keeps on clogging, you have to unclog the stick or the filter. One has to baby this thing, do regular cleaning, to keep it functioning. I want a better stick vacuum!

Right. The life of a Dyson Stick is a hard one. It’s not a bagged corded cannister, it’s a lightweight battery powered hard surface sweeper. Miele’s cordless stick isn’t great either.

Dyson isn't what they used to be. I use one of their sticks at work. It was great initially but I've been watching it literally fall apart over the last few years (first the dust canister kept coming apart, then one of the wheels fell off, then the button that holds the stick in fell off). It gets a little abused, but it's not exactly tossed around. The suction is good. Everything else leaves something to be desired. Your money is probably better spent elsewhere.

Dyson is average compared to miele

Running out of battery while you're vacuuming it so frustrating

4 years for a vacuum is terrible value for money ae. Expectations are so low these days for product longevity. Dyson are supposed to be the most premium vacuum, and it lasts about a year before it starts going down hill. After that you have to buy cheap Chinese battery adapter's to even use them. The filters are impossible to wash, and suction is below average.

There’s no single vac that does it all except for maybe a super heavy super expensive traditional canister like a Miele. For an everyday hard floor vac (and light carpet vac) the best is Levoit on Amazon that's about $200. It's a Dyson-like machine that overcomes a lot of the longtime design issues with Dysons (such as, it can stand up by itself -- what a concept). But we also keep the Dyson around for a more aggressive carpet vac when we need it. We also have a Eureka boss -- powerful and dependable small canister vac. And a monster shop vac in the basement. Dysons are great but they're really expensive and their air filtering system is overly complicated and tends to lose efficiency. If you own a Dyson, watch all the available Youtubes on how to clean it with pressurized air so you can keep it running. Given the competition from newer manufacturers like Levoit, I think it's going to be harder for Dyson to justify selling floor vacs for close to $1000.

Dyson stick. We have 3- one for each floor. They’re amazing. We had a shark and it wasn’t nearly as good so we gave it away and got another Dyson. We have a roomba which is great for daily use but not for deep cleans. We also have a plug in something that we never touch bc it’s such a pain.

dyson stick vacuum, its the best

My experience with Dyson stick. Worked ok first time. Next time wouldn’t work on high, cleaned it out, washed filter, let it dry 24 hours. Next day, won’t work oh high, barely works on medium, low is worthless. Cleaned again, washed filter,let it dry 24 hours. Next time high won’t work, medium pulses and barely sucks. So basically I vacuum carpet, litter gets pushed around room, when I turn off vacuum everything it has collected falls onto floor and I vacuum it up with a hand held ryobi. In researching Dyson problems, best advice on how to fix a Dyson was to throw it out and get something else. Good luck.

We got a Dyson stick for quick and spot cleaning. We got a corgi that sheds like crazy. It helps with maintaince of the fur. A Miele canister is BIFL and will hold up with per hair.

Did the same. After 2 dyson stick vacuums, I realized they are crap. My miele canister vacuum is a beast.

They can be replaced w off brand batteries from Amazon for bout $30-60 a pop and stronger/longer lasting. Two screws and the battery pops out and you pop the new one in. No wires or anything. 

I did buy the wrong one at first but then just returned it to Amazon without an issue. My tip is to Take a photo of the back/underside of the current battery, it has all the info you need! Then when you get a hair to sit down and Amazon; just look up the photo. The newer and bigger battery made using my Dyson stick a pleasure again. 

Yeah I had a piece crack on my cordless Dyson when I dropped it, and they sent me a replacement no problem. While I was on the phone with them, I mentioned the battery was draining pretty fast and it wasn’t sucking as well as it used to, and they sent a new battery and filter as well. Also, it was outside the warranty period, so I was pretty happy with the customer service.

Dyson en dan denk je Ja die dingen zijn megadur op Marktplaats op zoek gaan die het niet meer doen waar het bijna zeker is dat de accu kapot is accu omwisselen voor een nieuwe en je hebt hem goedkoop

I agree. We went through two cordless Dyson vacuums in 4 years and that’s not cheap considering they were $600+ each

The stick Dyson is crap, not the ball.

Van Dyson v10 naar v15 gegaan en die heeft zo’n lampje. Stofzuiger zuigt alles op maar ik heb er gratis ocd bijgekregen dus ik stofzuig nu zo’n 2x per dag.

Nee, verschil is niet zodanig groot dat het een wereld van verschil maakt. Ja, dat lampje maakt een verschil. En misschien is de v15 een paar gram lichter. Enige reden waarom ik nu v15 heb is omdat de v10 bij mijn schoonouders staat en nooit meer is terug gekomen. Zolang die v10 het nog doet zou ik er gewoon mee blijven zuigen. Echt een prima machine

I dont understand the hate? Ive love my Dyson v15 and could recommend to anyone.

I agree. We have a Dyson and it gets used every day for little spills here and there. Occasionally it’ll take it out to the car for a quick vacuum because… kids. The battery life is abysmal though. I’ve heard great things about the Shark cordless.

I love all the ryobi products i've purchased except for this. Bought to replace a dyson stick and it was far worse and we returned it. Clunky, loud and poor suction. Ended up fixing the dyson stick vacuum

We never tried the shark. Ultimately, we bought some aftermarket parts for our dyson and it works good as new. I love the dyson stick vacuum for quick pickups. We also have a Miele for the whole house

I've replaced like every part except the motor in my Dyson stick vacuum over the last 10+ years and it works great. Being able to get cheap replacement parts is a huge benefit

If you don’t care about budget then a Dyson stick vacuum, if you’re on a budget I like my shark stick vacuum

hahah not sure how acurate that analogy is, but I love it. as I love my dyson, never in my life am I going back to corded vacuums

Everyone in my house has long hair and I bought a Dyson a few months ago. It hasn't tangled up a single time yet, not a single hair stuck on the brush. But they are pricey!

Yes, but you need to remember to always return it to the charger, otherwise it will be dead all the time & frustrating when you want to use it. The nice thing about Dysons, too, is a new battery is extremely affordable, so if the battery dies, you can replace it for under $40. I’ve had my Dyson cordless for 6 years, & I had to replace the battery once. I use mine daily. It’s been one of my favorite household “investments”.

I do unplug mine when it’s charged, but I have found that I cannot vacuum my entire house unless it’s on a full charge so it needs to always be “fully” charged. I unplug it when I “close down” the kitchen before bed.

Honestly, don't buy the Dyson V16. I bought it and just sent it back. The new brush is terrible. It doesn't vacuum properly on hard floors or carpets. The Dyson Gen5 performs much better. Otherwise, the V15 is excellent value for money.

I liked my stick dyson. Made a terrible mistake of throwing it out bc it fell over and I cracked the battery. Turns out you can put any battery on them that's compatible. So, don't be like me lol. ▪︎ Mount it to the wall ▪︎ batteries are an easy fix

We got the Dyson V15 (not technically EU though). It cost a lot but it is amazing. It’s packed with two batteries, it’s not very heavy and it has long enough battery life so I can vacuum the whole house in one go. My spouse works for a competitor so the first cordless vacuum cleaner we got was one from her company and it was clunky and heavy and it broke down after half a year. Then I decided to go premium and I have not been disappointed.

I literally just finished vacuuming with our Miele. We have 3 kids, 2 cats and a dog and this thing is the goat. I also have one of those cordless Dysons, which are good for spot cleaning here and there, but if I run the Miele immediately after the Dyson, it still picks up dirt! They go on sale sometimes, too. I bought ours from a small local vacuum place in BC called Big Gary’s Vacuums. They were matching the sale price at Costco.

This is sad to hear. Just recently bought a v15 detect on sale and have been using it about a week. As an owner of 2 double coated dog breeds it's been a great experience so far mainly using the angled brush head. Hopefully it doesn't break on me but only one year warranty and living nowhere near service areas is not comforting. Had a Bissell crosswave about 4 years before it broke down on me. One day just refused to turn on. It was incredibly annoying to empty/clean and the rollers and filters needed constant replacement. Def recommend against that one.

Invest in a Dyson. I wasted so much money over the years on cheaper vacuums. I've had mine for 5 years and it's as good as new. It's cordless and I can do my whole apartment on a charge.

Do you have a mix of carpet and hard floors? If so, don’t get a Dyson unless you enjoy changing the heads for each surface. Otherwise, the regular brush will shoot out anything like pet food or cereal that you try to vacuum on a hard floor. Love Shark for their heads that have both a bristle for carpets and felt for hard floors on the same piece. Not sure if they’re vegan, though!

I think you have had some trauma from older vacuums regarding batteries. Modern vacuums will last double that without losing too much power. It is no different than laptops. Those batteries used to die or be useless in 3-4 years but these days 5-6 is easily achieved, same for phones, and vacuums aren't discharged and recharged nearly as often. To illustrate, my 4 year old Philips vacuum has lost 0 of its charging capabilities. And while I agree that Dyson has good suction, they are reliability nightmares. I had two. I replaced the first after 3 years because it just stopped performing and no amount of cleaning did anything to change that. The second developed the same issues in about 2 years. I managed to convince support to send me a new motor but by then I was so pissed off with the brand (expensive and unreliable are a hateful combo) that I will never buy Dyson again (much of their stuff looks fancy but are outright scams). My Philips 8000 is as mentioned 4 years old and it has lost some of its suction power but will run about 40 minutes on a charge, same as when I bought it. Not super enthusiastic about the suction performance going down in 4 years but it has been better in pretty much every way compared to the Dyson (which refused to hoover up any of the cat litter on the floor eventhough it had much better suction, and it was FAR quieter too). Never again Dyson. Look up Dyson and Scam on Youtube and watch a few vids before you buy anything.

I have used the shark stick and the Dyson stick. I like the shark better.

I have a sebo d4 canister the motor blew and I got it back within a week from warranty during that time I was using my Dyson cordless it's rubbish

Yes barely picks anything up.

I use a Dyson stick vacuum, I do have to empty the canister multiple times for each area but it works great on both hard floors and carpet

Never thought I'd feel so strongly about a vacuum, but I love my dyson.  It's the cordless stick version.  After 5 years, the battery started to get weak.  We just replaced that with an off brand battery and it works like new.

My cordless Dyson lasted 3 years. Recently got a new corded vacuum not worth having to replace every 3 years vacuum cleaners should last 20

For hard floors any model will be suitable, just make sure it has the Fluffy floor head. The newer models like the V15 and Gen5 really shine when it comes to carpet cleaning and are the only models I’d recommend if you’ve got carpets.

I was a Dyson Animal ball vacuum fan but durability became an issue. I love the Dyson V15 for our hard surface floors. Bought a Sebo Felix last year and it does great on carpet. However, it’s a heavy machine compared to Dyson, Shark, etc. As a CR subscriber for decades I can attest to a decline in their rating quality. It may be that their shift to algorithms that weight other factors differently.

Go to Walmart and buy the Hart $100 stick vacuum. I have had 2 dysons and while they're nice the batteries are trash. I have tried factory and cheap replacements, and not much difference. Bought a cheap Walmart one for the garage and it worked great. Battery lasts forever. It works so well that the Dyson has gone to garage and the hart stays in the house. I've had it for 3 years now, still original battery working just fine. I'd get a year tops out of a Dyson battery. Dyson wins the looks award, but Hart beats it in performance.

Totally agree with this and your comment. I've owned a V15 since it's introduction. It's been the best portable hand stick vacuuming in the market. I have a Miele canister vacuum, it's basically in the closet getting little to no use. Remember one thing Dysons electric motors are designed and made by them to work optimally with the cordless battery technology.They are one of the few companies that build their own mini electric small motors. They are optimized to be the most efficient to get the most out of battery usage. Since covid, I been using the V15 for all my vacuuming needs around the house, I even vacuum my bed sheets/mattress daily, amazing use for this. For the last few years I alternate between 2 batteries when I have larger vacuuming chores to do around the house but absolutely no complaints for the runtimes on one charge of the battery.

We have Dyson V15 and it works great

I have a Miele Marin for my main cleaning but I also have a Dyson detect for quick jobs. I’m obsessed with the laser.

I agree with this list. I have a V15 detect and it is what I use 95% of the time. It is just so convenient to grab it off the charger and be cleaning up a mess 1 second later. However, I bought it expecting it to last 10 years, probably with a battery replacement along the way. If I were to own only 1 vacuum, the Miele cat&dog is what I would have bought based on reviews. Call me lazy, but I bet my house would be less clean if that was my only vacuum. Dragging it out, dealing with the hose and cord, getting an extension cord or moving the car if I want to use it outside are all small but annoying barriers to quick cleans. I can take my Dyson off the charger, suck up a little spill, even step outside and empty it into the trash by the time I'd have a corded vacuum ready to go. If you live in a small house or apartment, the battery Dysons can be your only vacuum, but I think for larger homes you still want a corded machine. For what it is worth, my other vacuum is a DC24 from 2004ish, and while I didn't expect it to last all that long either, it still works good as new. I replaced the hose once about 10 years ago after I tore it. I like how modular it is so it can be taken all apart and cleaned and parts can be replaced like Legos.

I bought one of their stick vacuums and the battery died in less than a year. Couldn't just send me a new battery, sent me an entire unit and all the accessories. That one died even faster but they wouldn't replace it as it was "outside the original warranty period". They offered me a discount and I said never again. Found this sub and bought a Miele. Best vacuum ever.

Can you elaborate what you mean by maintain? I’ve had my stick for a few years and it works ok, but I am completely ignorant about the maintenance.

Thank you! I have literally not done any of these (other than overfilling, I always empty it after every use). I’ll start following your suggestions.

So far I really love my V15, but I'm more of a hardwood floor, living room rug and car interior cleaner. I've only ever had extremely shitty vacuums before this, though, so maybe my standards are low. But it gets my cat's fur right out of the rug and is very useful for nooks and crannies. Maybe the green light thing is a gimmick but it helps me spot crap on the floor I would not see otherwise. I believe I bought it in March of '22. So far no issues (knock on wood).

I know vacuum fans/experts hate Dyson, but my Dyson has been working great and it actually makes me want go vacuum. I don’t like dragging a cord around. It’s easy to use, my kids can use it too, they love it and take turn to do it.

I've had or have all 3 (well a V7 instead of a V8/V9) Tineco: It cleaned ok but you have to service the pre motor filter after every use. And really flimsy. The battery catch broke on normal use, I returned it after a month or so and got a V15 instead on sale. V8 vs V15: Get the V8 if you are stuck between the two. I've had less issues (maintenance) and it is seemingly the same power when you run it on max mode. Which is what you gotta do with either to effectively clean carpets. Still have the v7 but the handle cracked (DIY repair) & I had to convert it to run on dewalt drill batteries as the factory battery died. But... Like the general consensus around here is going to be, look at Miele, Sebo, or Lindhaus if you really want a machine that will clean your floors. Yes they have bags, but that is a good thing. The cord thing admittedly isn't fun to deal with. The "bags cause suction loss" is nothing but a Dyson marketing ploy. Maybe 20 years ago before bag tech improved. Now they only lose suction when completely full. Trust me (and most on here..) on this, the bags are a ton less maintenance than bagless models, and you aren't exposing yourself to all the dirt and dust when you dump it. You gotta dump the bagless when it gets about half full, or you'll really have fun cleaning the machine out. For instance, my house would take 4-5 dumps per each floor cleaning (1700 sq ft or 160 m2), but get about a month out of a bag doing the whole house (3400 sq ft/ 320m2)

Lots to unpack there, gonna try to keep it short. Miele's have the (or one of the) most expensive bags/filters. If recurring costs are a consideration, look at Sebo and Lindhaus units too. Get the powered brush roller, then wait and see on extra accessories if you actually need them. Bags: Generally speaking a box a bags will last you \~ 1 year Any bagless machine is going to have lots of maintenance, or a very short lifespan... None of them are going to perform well on low/medium settings for carpet. In my limited experience with them, Dyson's don't clog the filters often, but the cyclones can get stinky (pet stink), and they are almost impossible to clean out (gotta disassemble, you'd better be very well versed in technical matters and have the right tools). After my Dyson experiences I would consider either the LG L9, or possibly the Henry Cordless, as it has bags. LG L9 has a removable cyclone assembly for easy cleaning; the Henry you should have minimal maintenance because it has bags. Unless you want to wash filters after every use, stay away from the 'budget' models. Personally I have a Dyson V7 (V8), and a V15. I would strongly suggest the V8 over the V15. Less/easier maintenance, and the V7 has never gotten stinky unlike the much newer V15. Performance wise I can't tell a difference, when in max mode. (the auto detect mode on V15 is admittedly nice) Battery life: Just don't expect you can use any cordless to really clean, quick pickups are where they shine. Performance wise, to come anywhere near close to a good corded unit you need to run it on 'max' mode, which generally equates to \~10min worth of use.

I have a lower end Miele as my main vacuum and have had it for 10 years and it is like new... however I did supplement with a Dyson cordless for awhile and it went through a battery every year and I had to replace several broken plastic bits on the cannister.... also those make a mess when you try to empty them..... No cordless vacuums are BIFL.... HOWEVER we did get a Samsung Bespoke Jet cordless vac 2 years ago and I love that thing. Pricy for a cordless but it is way better quality than the Dyson and has a charging base that also contains a vacuum/bag that sucks the dirt out of it into a bag... so completely mess-less. It also has two batteries that can be swapped in seconds like a power tool. The second battery mounts to the dock in a second charger. It is also quieter than the Dyson and the Miele.

I love my stick Dyson! Works great on all types floors thru the whole house. Picks up pet hair & kids messes easily.

My Dyson v15 does a very good job on the the hardfloors. I use it multiple times a day as I have little kids and dogs. It is fantastic to just pull it off the wall and quickly clean the floors. My Miele C3 comes out on the weekend for a deep clean, especially the carpet and furniture. If I didn't have carpet I'd probably have gotten a C1. For the charge, my house is similar size but 50/50 carpet and hardfloors and the V15 has no issue cleaning it all in a single charge. Not sure how quickly it recharges TBH since when I'm done it stays in the charger for at least several hours before I need it again.

I love my V15, it's surprisingly powerful for a stick. I use it everyday to touch up the whole house, so easy to just pop off the wall and go. On the weekend my Miele C3 comes out for the deep clean.

I have a Dyson v15 and a Miele C3. The dyson gets used multiple times a day. The Miele I use once a week.

Dyson v15 if you're going cordless. Two dogs and a three humans with long hair and the brushroll is always clean.

I have a Eufy E25 Omni mopvac but hit around the litter box first with my Dyson V15. I made the mistake once unleashing the robot mop vac on a really big litter mess - it wasn’t up for the task. It’s a great product otherwise for the other 99% of times I’ve used it.

Get yourself a quality bagless stick vac. Super convenient to use, you'll find your house way cleaner because you'll use it way more often. Dyson would be my choice.

I'm on year 5 or 6 of my Dyson... biggest complaint is the battery seems to not last as long... plenty of use with pets.

this sub hates Dyson, probably a little too much imho, but to answer your question: the V15 is amazing but if you have more than 1,000 sq feet you’ll need to go corded.

We have 80%+ wood or tile floors and the rest carpet. Bought a V15 Detect in March of this year and so far have been very happy with it and how it performs. Can't speak to other brands as this is the only battery operated vacuum we have every purchased/used.

You want a bagged vacuum. I've had a Dyson, a Bissell, a Dyson knock off, the LG A9, the Miele Duoflex - all bagless and all very loud. My cats will scatter if I turn them on. My bagged Miele on the other hand... they don't even bother getting up from their naps.

I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. (Actually more than that because I didn’t tell people I also have 3 cats haha) Someone with a husky commented that they replace the bag 1.5-2 times a month. Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me) I am taking that into account with  replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) but it doesn’t have a bag or a Sebo that has a 10 year warranty but I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period with the amount I’d be spending on bags. I haven’t decided yet 🙃 but thought I’d share the numbers.

We’ve had our cordless dyson for 5 years but it’s honestly not the best compared to a rainbow or other brands at this point in its life.

Vi har Dyson batteri til daglig bruk. Lett å ta fram(viktig), og tar det meste. 114 kvadrat ville gå greit på ein lading. Men når bilen skulle støvsugast blei den for svak. Då måtte eg fram med eit godt gammalt kabla beist. Så vi ville uten tvil kjøpt igjen, men hatt ein tradisjonell til dei vrange punktene.

I hate my cordless Dyson and had to use the warranty 3 times in the first year. My corded one is fine. 

YES. I hate vacuums. The noise is awful. My Dyson stick vacuum is tolerable- I can do a quick 5 -10 minute vacuum everyday. (Small house) Otherwise, I’d never vacuum.

I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, we got a Dyson stick vacuum and it fucking rules. We have lvp floors and rugs and it's been great with both. I really like the head that has the laser on it, it shows you eeeevery hair and speck of dust so you don't miss anything. She pricey but she worth it 

I pull both Mieles and Dysons out of the trash. These days I only grab the cordless Dyso9ns, but in the past have done the upright models. They are usually work after cleaning up. Maybe half the cordless examples I get need a new battery.

I got Dyson and I love it. she does hard and soft floors, she’s light enough for cob webs, car cleaning, you can lower the suck so if you spill crumbs at night it’s quiet. you can get unbranded acsessories so I got alsorts of things to help clean cars, keyboards, I got clips for the tube to hold more nozzles, I got a big bendy tube so stairs is a breeze. the filters are washable, I got a load of unbranded so I can swap them out more often. any breakages you can buy most spare parts online which is super handy also you just twist the end and the rollerbar pops out which makes long hair cleaning so easy. I used to hate sitting on the floor with sicciors cutting hair off the bar. I don’t miss trailing cables or the bulk of the Hoover.

my Dyson filter you just rinse and swap out. I like how easy it’s to pull apart and wash

Mine is way older than 5 years. Still manages to try and eat socks with alarming accuracy. I only had to change the battery out. I give her a blast of air and a good wash every few months and she’s running great. she deals with sand on a regular basis and cat and dog fur.

you can get third part add ons that let you use big drill batteries

honestally the third party battery add ons give you so much more, even swapping the battery out for a bigger one gives more juice

I got third party battery add on. I do bottom house, charge then upstairs. got third party filters so I can change and wash each time

In another life I was a Kirby service tech and I serviced machines on a number of occasions > 40-50 years old. At the time they had parts available for all machines. They ARE expensive (and the sales process leaves a lot to be desired) but are generally built like tanks. If there's a weak point, it's the fan. Even if it is Lexan, hard/heavy enough debris (eg bolts) can shatter the blades. The nice thing about the design is that instead of putting the bag inline with the fan, the bags fill from the top so it's able to maintain airflow. We have one (though it was a gift) but generally use our Dyson cordless day to day.

Honestly as an ex appliance engineer, the cordless Dysons are great for use but terrible when something goes wrong. We used to just write them off if it was anything more than a blockage. Dyson are also very difficult to deal with to get parts etc.

I didn't mean consumer end I meant b2b they were difficult to deal with i.e. sourcing the parts for the customer and general support.

Dyson cordless , shark robot and Bisseli dry/wet corded vacuum…what I use for 1000sq with a Saint Bernard …I use Dyson and the robot daily and the bisseli weekly

I bought two dysons thinking they were the best. Canister vacuum motor burnt out right after the two year warranty. Stick vacuum battery died, which was fine to replace but still annoying. We’ve been limping along with just the stick vacuum for two years now brutal!

Shark cordless vacuum cleaners are not a type I would recommend. For the price, they have things about them that make them worse than a lot of the competition such as poor build quality and single cyclones. As for cordless, Dyson and LG, and sometimes Samsung, still make the leading mainstream ones in the United States. For Dyson, the V11 to current models are the best on carpet. The V8 is affordable, but lacks the run time and overall power to do a stellar job on carpet, at least in my opinion. Something such as the V15 smokes the heck out of a V8 and even a V10. Even the V12 is decent enough and good if you want something little and lightweight while still being powerful.

Dyson stick vacuum cleaners are the easiest to use and the best design for domestic use  IMO.   I had a miele in the past, and dragging around a cleaner on little wheels and replacing bags is terrible: I don't care how long they last.

The Dyson detect is the best by far imo. You can find some good options [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/user/Working-Hawk-1982/comments/1neh4hg/the_best_cordless_stick_vacuums/)

That’s just not true. I had a V6 whose battery lasted for over six years. I finally bought a new V15 detect because my V6 got so incredibly gross. But it was still running just fine.

I think I’ve had my Dyson cordless for longer than five years. I had to replace the battery once. I was told if you are constantly using it on Max, it will go through batteries like candy. 

I have a Dyson V15 and love it. It's light enough for my 66-year-old worn-out self to handle. However, I have a small 1000sqft condo with wood flooring and some scattered rugs, so it's not as hard on the battery as all-over carpeting would be. Plus, I alternate vacuuming different rooms on different days of the week. I don't think I could do my whole place on just one charge. If I had a larger space, especially with all-over carpeting, I would not expect this Dyson to be able to handle it over the long haul. I bought it last year, so I guess I'll find out how long it will last. If it doesn't last, it'll be a Miele for me. For ease of use, I am completely sold on cordless stick vacuums.

🧹 Broom.and mop are the best . I put a few drops of Clorox and a few drops of dawn to a bucket 🪣 full of warm water( 🧤 )😂 I have a cordless shark vacuum for over 8 years now and it works just fine I also have a cordless Dyson for the days that I don't feel like grabbing the dustpan We are really making our life harder with so many artifacts and I am guilty of that

I made the switch from a bagless upright Dyson and a stick Dyson to a Kenmore Pop N Go canister, based on the advice of this sub. I could not be happier. I have three shed monster Australian Shepherds that have killed several Dysons over the years. I am THRILLED not to have to stop and empty the Dyson every 5 minutes. Changing the bag on the Kenmore is a lot less messy than emptying the bin on the Dyson. I wish I bought a canister 20 years ago. The canister is much easier to use on the stairs. It works miracles on cleaning my blinds, which the Dyson was absolutely useless for. It actually gets my carpets clean, which the Dyson failed to do after about a year. Also, the Kenmore is a hell of a lot quieter than my Dyson.

This sub HATES Dyson so you’re not getting a fair representation.. the v15 is one of the highest rated / awarded models and is an excellent machine

I’m surprised to see you say Dyson is difficult for parts. I’ve been buying their cordless vacs for 10+ years and any time I need a part they either overnight for free or they charge a fair price.

I’ve only had 2 over the 10+ years. Someone broke my first one and then I replaced it with a newer model.

Had a similar one with the hinge. Worked pretty well until the hinge broke. Have a Dyson v15 now and find it much better

I have Miele C1 and Dyson V15. We use Miele when more suction is needed and Dyson for light duty tasks

I never thought I would consider vacuuming an enjoyable process but the V15 made it possible.

I have a cordless dyson for 7 years. The battery crapped out halfway through but the batteries for powertools(which we have) also fits. So we use those. Now I dont know if the original battery is shit or not because I dropped the vacuum mulitple times so that might be my fault. But hey after dropping it so many times, it still works!!

Kjøpte først en Roborock H6 Mace i kombo med robotstøvsuger og elsket den, helt til Kina-batteriet kapitulerte etter halvannet år og det tok evigheter å bestille nytt og var vanskelig å bytte. Kjøpte derfor Dyson V15 i mellomtiden og det er en helt annen verden, elsker den og bruker den daglig. Den er dyr, men jeg føler den er verdt pengene. Batteriet (ut i fra internett) holder i 4-7 år avhengig av bruk, og byttes med et enkelt klikk. Spesielt med barn og dyr i hus er trådløs best. Hadde jeg hatt støvsuger jeg drar etter meg hadde jeg støvsugd sikkert 1-2 ganger i mnd.

I love my Dyson. Works well, I’ve had it for 4 years and have done zero maintenance to it. Sleek and easy to use. Mine is cordless and I find I use it more often because it’s easy to just whip out and then put it away. Is it the most powerful vacuum? Probably not, but I don’t need that. I have a cleaning service that comes by biweekly. I’m more about convenience and spot cleaning when needed. They have sales often so definitely keep checking for one so you don’t have to pay full price.

Dyson v15 doesn't even come close to the power of the Sebo e3. Lol

Idk man. I read reviews and Reddit posts for weeks and noticed reddit has an extreme bias towards sebo and Miele canister vacuums. But I didn't really get it, as so many of these models don't even come with a power head for carpets unless you get the tip top model, they have similar suction as a quality stick that runs on battery (Dyson v15 for example), they have the same level of filtration as a stick with no need to purchase bags, and they're harder to use (at least in smaller homes like mine). Most of the time these vacuums don't come with a powered carpet cleaner head, or you need the premium hard floor head, and don't get me started on the 24 different variations of packs with differing attachments and pieces using coded names like the STB-305-3 (wtf man). Tell me why the fuck this has to exist: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EhG-SIwgp6E/maxresdefault.jpg So I decided I would go with the Dyson v15 instead. Maybe it won't last 15 years like everyone claims these others do, but it has swappable batteries, and my last Dyson V8 has held up just fine from 5 years of abuse now so.. plus, the V15 is 200$ off for black Friday at 799 best buy.

Also highly recommend the 15 for a stick vac. Much better specs than the 11 on this list. We love ours and use it daily with 2 large dogs. The front light is amazing for showing hair and dirt on hardwood.

Have a v15. Can't complain.
