"animal and people hair can twist around the beater bar, so watch that and keep it clean. Take the whole thing out of the head. Get the hair hidden in the gaskets."

0piO 0.1Miele for the house - I have it for more than 20 years. Nothing can beat it. Have a Dyson cordless for quick jobs - every year needs serious maintenance. Luckily I am an engineer and can take it apart and deep clean it. Frankly with all the PR around Dyson's engineering marvel - it is a piece of shit and it wasn't built to last. Henry for the garage and car cleaning. Good workhouse - it hurts my eyes to have it in the house. Too industrial looking.
2571DIY 0.1I’ve had 2 Dyson stick vacs break and honestly the manufacturing seems to get cheaper not better. Just switched to shark and happy so far but when you’re in the $400 range you are buying a short term vacuum anyhow.
29er_eww 0.1We got a Dyson and it’s the single biggest regret I’ve had making a purchase. Thing can’t suck up a Cheerios, dust bunny or flour split on the floor.
3catlove 0.1Yes. 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.
7477388287 0.1Same - Though Reddit seems to hate them. We got a Shark as a gift, lasted 1 year. They replaced it for free. Lasted about 2 years. We’ve had the same Dyson stick over 10 years with no issues. A charge doesn’t last long as long as it used to, but suction is still excellent. I can save you the trouble, Reddit will recommend you buy a $1300 corded Miele/Sebu. If God forbid you must have a cordless, $1000 Miele or $200 shark. I just don’t think it’s worth it for something where the bar is “does it get my floors clean?”. It reminds of certain hobbies like Mountain Biking where anything other than enthusiast-level ($$$$) is ‘junk’. Okay but I had fun riding my ‘junk’ the last decade while saving 8K. PC gaming, too - nobody has enjoyed a game with 12GB of VRAM, apparently.
7s7z 0.1Don’t know how often you’d use or charge yours but after having to replace the battery on my Dyson twice when it died the third time I got a black and decker instead - swappable battery means there’s no wait for recharge an I don’t need a place to plug it in - I also had a ton of the batteries for other tools already. Oh, and it works great for a cordless stick, as well as the Dyson did an we use it on floors and rugs (still use an upright on the thick pile rugs weekly but it does the job for a quick tidy on them)
aabbcc401 0.2My Dyson has a Los screen with battery time left. It will warn you with 5 min left and even count down
accidentalscientist_ 0.7I like mine a lot, but the biggest thing that bothers me is the battery. It doesn’t last quite long enough to vacuum my living room, kitchen, and back room. And it takes like 5 hours to charge. So vacuuming takes planning and I can’t get it all done at once anymore. My next vacuum will be a ryobi cordless.
Accomplished_Age2480 0.1With the dyson stick cordless, the battery can be replaced. We did so on ours after 8ish years and it is like new.
When our battery started to go I had no idea it could be replaced. Needless to say I was very excited, lol
My husband ordered and exchanged it. I dont recall it being a pain in the ass. There seems to be 2 screws.
Ace_Robots 0.2Dyson’s bagless models are pretty decent and the attachments cover a lot of bases. Shark is a more budget friendly but less durable manufacturer, but still quality for the buck.
