"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."
"being cordless and effective for what I need. ... For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. ... 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."
"Bought a $20 battery on Amazon last year and it runs like a champ."

"I also used my Dyson stick vacuum for my 1000sf house, cleaned weekly plus as-needed clean ups. It’s still going strong 5+ years later."
"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"

"And despite how gimmicky the green light thing may look it really does work amazingly well for hardwoods with pet hair."
"hardwood floor attachment also has a green light to show particles which I thought was a gimmick, but it turns vacuuming into a game like Mario Sunshine and I love it."
"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"

"I have not touched the Miele since I got the V15 a year ago. ... handles pet hair way better than the old tangle-free turbine head ... since the V15 will get all the pet hair"
"Mine sheds consistently so the lightness and suction power makes it easy to do a few quick pickups a day vs long, thorough cleans that last all of 2 hrs."
"Dyson v15 Detect is superb for Labrador hardwood floors."

"My cordless Dyson lasted 3 years. ... not worth having to replace every 3 years"
"The dust bin broke 3 times. ... The wand broke 3 times. ... The red clip button broke 4 times. ... The battery broke once."
"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."

"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."
"It didn't last nearly as long as the price tag suggested it should."
"The full price is eye watering and a bit demented."

"The thing would not suck up the bigger chunks of dog hair on hard floors bc the head sits too close to the ground, so it ends up pushing bigger debris out of the way. ... I kept having to lift it up then drop it on top of the chunks of hair to suck it up. ... Sometimes it would kick the dog hair out instead of sucking it up. ... I was getting so mad and was very tempted to drive 20 minutes to my place for my Shark."
"the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared."
"the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs ... I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs"

"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 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."
"the fluffy brush was not gentle on my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors"
