"The no bag is a feature for some of us not a defect. ... 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."
"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."
"It’s easy to use, my kids can use it too, they love it and take turn to do it."

"For purely hard wood / laminate (or very little rug or carpet) Dyson cordless stick vac is IMO is plenty."
"it’s the greatest."
"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."

"The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it."
"I had the stick and the ball versions and both barely lasted a year"
"replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) ... I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period"

"The Dyson battery was internal so you can't swap out a battery if it dies on you."

"I’ve had one for my V8 and it’s lasted longer than the oem now, plus it is a lather capacity battery too."
I just want to hop in and say that my V12 died within a year for being used once a week in a 2000.sq ft home. We wanted something light to carry up and down the stairs. It does work well, but it also just died . Dyson warranty covered a new one, but made us ship the old one back which was a pain. Overall wouldn't buy again.
r/VacuumCleaners • Ive been trying to find a vacuum, I scoured the sub for hours. Conclusion? r/VacuumCleaners hate vacuum cleaners and apparently i should just buy a broom. ->Whilst it's less convenient, I find a canister vacuum the lightest to work with, although you do need to manoeuvre the machine around on the floor. With a canister you're barely holding any weight in your hand, it's all down on the floor. For above floor cleaning it's the best experience, and then for carpets and floors it's also easy as you're only pushing around the wand and floor head. In terms of lightweight sticks I don't know too many really I'm afraid. Sebo balance and Dyson V12 are both light. I can't speak to the longevity and quality of either though. I owned a V12 for a bit and it was light to use but I returned it as couldn't justify the expense for my daily runaround vacuum. I own a Levoit LVAC 200 which is...fine...but does a poor job on carpets, it will really only skim the surface. I replaced that with a Tineco Pure One Station Five. It's a bit heavier but it does the job and I picked it up new in box on eBay for about £125. The self empty station really helps and it does an ok job just keeping things looking clean. However I'm not sure how long it'll last as some of the joints are already getting creaky and loose.
r/VacuumCleaners • MONSGA Cordless ->Dyson V12 absolute slim Perfecte stofzuiger, ruim een uur stofzuigen op 1 accu. Licht zodat je alle stof ziet liggen. Makkelijk te legen en schoon te maken. Veel opzet borstels en stukken. Mooi ophang systeem erbij. Is wel duur maar we zijn er mega tevreden over 👍🏼👌🏻
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Ich habe einen Dyson V12 neu gekauft und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Sämtliches Zubehör habe ich günstig bei Kleinanzeigen geschossen. Die Tierhaarrolle war eine Offenbarung. Allerdings habe ich noch einen kabelgebundenen Miele, den ich nutze, wenn ich das ganze Haus saugen möchte. Der Akku des Dyson ist schon schnell leer, wenn man die power stufe nimmt.
r/wohnen • Akkustaubsauger - Ich raste komplett aus ⬇️ ->I like our V12 with detect light for our hardwood floors and tiles. It’s been going for 3 years and does fine as long as you clean and replace filters. It lacks the battery life and grunt to properly clean our large area rugs, so we use a corded bagged commercial vac for those.
r/dyson • Which Dyson cordless vacuum is actually worth it? ->Ryobi’s parent company also owns Hoover. I think the future of cordless vacuums is going to look a lot more like the power tool model. One battery platform, many tools. The Dyson model of one battery (which may or may not be in stock on our website), one vacuum is obsolete.
r/CleaningTips • Are Dyson vacuums worth it? ->We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.
r/CleaningTips • Are Dyson vacuums worth it? ->Disagree. I’ve got the same vacuum. The laser does see all the dust, the vacuum sucks it up but what you seem to be missing is how dusty a house can be (not just the floor but the air too) Just walking around will stir that up with air movement and it settles again. I stopped using the laser (I call it the gem of true sight) for this reason. But the vacuum itself is awesome. I know because I see the amount it picks up in the canister.
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->Nekünk v12 detect slim absolute van és jelentem hogy nem kell nyomni és könnyű. Cserébe a gyakran kell űríteni a tartályt.
r/askhungary • Dyson vagy Philips álló porszívó, melyiket ajánlanátok? ->When you've used a proper Miele or Sebo plug in vacuum you know how shitty the suction on the Dyson is.
r/egopowerplus • I'd love to see an Ego Vacuum cleaner ->I own a C3 and a Dyson V12. While is does work it isn't good at all. It does basic maintenance cleans and not much else.
r/egopowerplus • I'd love to see an Ego Vacuum cleaner ->Ich habe seit 2 Jahren einen Dyson V12 und muss sagen dass es der größte Schrott ist. Verarbeitung absolut billig, wackeliges Saugrohr, wurde mittlerweile das zweite mal getauscht weil es jedes mal an der Verbindungsstelle bricht. Garantieansprüche sind für´n Arsch da Dyson so gut wie keine Ersatzteile liefern kann. Vor kurzem ist auch die teure Laser Bodendüse kaputt gegangen auf Grund Materialermüdung und ist am Gelenk gebrochen, Kostenpunkt 120€. Der Dyson kann auch nicht von alleine stehen er muss jedes mal so abgestellt werden dass er nicht umfällt. Saugleistung des Dysons ist allerdings hervorragend und die Akkukapazität reicht ebenfalls für ein 140qm Haus. Hatte davor einen Phillips und er war ebenfalls eine Katatstrophe, Saugrohr ebenfalls ständig gebrochen. Weiss noch nicht was ich mir holen soll wenn der Dyson komplett den Geist aufgibt.
r/wohnen • Akkustaubsauger - Ich raste komplett aus ⬇️ ->I agree!! I love my V12! I have two aussies and need the option to get a quick clean at times to contain the fur! I have miele C1 from years ago which I try to use like once every 2 weeks for a deep clean(have the parquet attachment, but nothing substantial for the limited carpet-does minimal for that), a V12 for pre-company/occasion cleaning and quick spots where I don't want to get out the cord, and a eufy L60 SES for like twice weekly cleaning since I'm a mom and lazy at times. They are a TEAM and nobody can tell me otherwise lol. I think everyone hopes for one to rule them all, but I'm a fan of multiple things that have their niche.
