Dyson vs ???

CindyDale — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 13:33:52 GMT

I have a Dyson absolute v8 that is several years old. Worked great for a long time, but now needs to be replaced. Not sure if I should get another Dyson. $$$. I love it because no cord, runs for 40 mins and did a great job for a long time. Anyone have another brand of a cordless vac that they love? Running time? Thanks.

I have a Shark cordless. Don't know the running time because I can use it several times before the battery quits. However, my model came with 2 batteries so I am never down. It was about $400 several years ago.

I also had a Dyson absolute and it never worked long enough to finish cleaning a room,. Worst purchase ever. I just bought a shark with cord and it is fantastic...the cord is super long and I can do most of my downstairs with it.
I am longing for an old-fashioned DustBuster by Black and Decker,,,,,the new- tangled ones just aren't the same.

I had a corded Dyson and it finally bit the dust and I bought a corded Shark ( $179) that is much lighter and does a superior job to my Dyson.

Had both. They are both pretty good and long lasting. Dyson cost much, much more. But they are innovative and pour money in to research to make better products. Shark just uses the technology Dyson creates and sells it for a much cheaper price.

I have two Orecks - one upright and one cordless. They are both great and powerful.

I have nothing but bad stories about my Animal Dyson. Will never ever sink my money into another Dysoin.

I purchased a Shark and have been delighted with its performance and longevity. Bought one for our son. Great machine.

We've had several Dysons, not impressed, didn't last long and pricey. Except for my purple dyson canister, not sure what model it is, but I do like that..their uprights, not so much.... I do love my Shark upright.

When we got our dog I bought a Dyson. It is heavy and cumbersome. It has been taking up space in my closet for many years. We went to the local vacuum repair store to ask if he wanted it. He laughed and pointed to the entire back of his store - it was all Dyson's he repaired and people did not pick up.

I then bought a Hoover Windtunnel MAX P.A.W.S.

Love it. It is still going strong. It has to be over 7 years old and it is a real reliable workhorse. Had picked up long collie hair and never had any trouble.

I think I have tried just about every brand of vacuums and this is the first one that has lasted and worked well for this long.

I have a Dyson cordless and have no complaints about it. It's just great. I bought it on QVC 7 years ago and it works like it did on day 1. No problems. I also had a little corded Shark about 15 years years ago. It was reliable, lightweight and excellent for what I paid which was about $100. Lasted about 5 years. I couldn't find it again so I replaced it with another shark model that never compared to the first.

That was about 10 years ago. "It still does the job"...according to my husband. I don't use it anymore. I settled for that one for 3 years! Hubby likes it... so he says; but he only uses it if the Dyson battery goes. 😂 I stick with the Dyson cordless and I'll wait for it to charge up.

@CindyDale There will be a Dyson TSV next month on April 3;

if you're able to wait. I'm hoping it's their newest model. I'm really interested in that one.
