V6 Series

I have a Ryobi battery in mine and it’s worked great for ages but I cannot use the Max suction feature more than with few seconds. I have a v6 animal 🤔

I've used a couple. Samsung, lg and dyson. I can't comment fully on how good the other two were, cause they were both cooked. But, the dyson has been my houses daily, and it works flawlessly. The only downside (which will be the downside for any stick vacuum) is the battery degrades over time. However, a big upside, is you can get an adaptor to change it to your tool battery of choice. I have dewalt tools, so I got a dewalt adaptor, and it has been a game changer. Way longer life, and the vacuum works better, somehow. But, just regular use, the dyson has been great. I've got a probably 4 year old v6 animal iirc. Got it for really cheap of grays or somewhere. Brand new. I think though, the modern ones are all a lot closer to each other in terms of features. I think if anything, I'd be looking at a robot vacuum, if I had the money for an expensive stick. They seem to be a game changer also. Inb4 you can swap tool batteries onto some of those as well

> Ease of use is important to me.. lightweight, easy to maneuver, and not overly complicated With how lightweight and maneuverability is important to you, I'd recommend a Dyson. I own both a Miele C1 and the Dyson V6 animal and although the Miele is more powerful, it's a bit more cumbersome to use since you have to drag around the motor and find an outlet to plug it into. The Dyson, although not as powerful, operates on battery, lightweight and is much easier to move around. All the features that seemed very important.

Dyson V6 : was my first stick vacuum,didn't last long Miele HX2 : awesome, until it broke(not mechanical) and needed a proprietary part. Ryobi : lots of good reviews, wife complains too bulky and roller partially working. My work around was buying 2 old school used Dyson DC models and upgrading the battery packs with aftermarket. Heaps of parts around will never buy new again IMO Dyson = Apple.

Odd. We bought the big upright yellow pet edition Dyson in 2018 and it’s had zero problems so far. We also have two of the long cordless V6 Dyson and both of those have been great as well. Three Dyson’s running strong and powerful, and I always recommend them.
