"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."

"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."
"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."
"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."

"The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it."

"We are on our third animal in 6 years and gave up on the stick vacuums because we had 2 in a row that started shocking your hand in the handle after about 18 months. ... No. It's a short that is fairly common in the dyson stick vacuums. You hear a zap, suckings stops for a second, and your hand gets shocked. It's a full-on shock. ... We got our first stick Dyson vacuum 5 years ago. At 18 months it started shocking your hand in the handle. Bought the newer bigger one, 18 months later same problem."

"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"

"I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming."
