Im curious, what is up with this flood of refurbed Dyson vacuums hitting the market lately? I thought Dyson was the gold standard when it comes to vacuums that aren't named Kirby?

To be honest I saw the v 10 version of this in Costco and it didn't feel like something that would last 2 years. Had a very plastic-y feel.

There's a reason Consumer Reports no longer recommends Dyson.

It's called marketing. They have always used very cheap plastics aince their first model. Margins are a beautiful thing! (if you are the company benefitting from them being high of course)

I've had a couple different ones over the years, and they were 'ok' to 'good'. Certainly not as great as the price premium suggests. They definitely are not made to last, and I am sure their marketing strategy and production/new model cycles have a lot to do with that.

I read the why, and it seems that battery issues are #1. I have a 5 year old v6 (which was refurb) and the battery is starting to go now but after 5 years I guess that is expected. Also it creaks and the plastic is not super durable. I would say that is about it's usable lifecycle.

Looking at the other issues, these a cyclone vacs so if you do not maintain them you are going to lose suction and potentially burn out the motor. For the roller brushes, you need to clean them every few months, and get hair out of them otherwise it can cause the rollers to stop. I checked out my MIL v7 which I gave her, and I literally spent 20 minutes going over filter cleaning, roller cleaning, not charging the battery up all the time, only use max if absolutely needed. So it's 3 years old, NEVER did squat to it. It took me two hours to dissemble it and clean it properly, I'm surprised it still worked.

Now I picked up a v11 (refurb) and it is much better engineered and way better than the v6/v7 with the newer torque brushes and auto power. The battery is new gen and is supposed to last 7+ years, but who knows.
I have cheapo Shark also (stick and reg vac), but I will say the parts are cheap for those, and they just work so I would say those are probably a better bet if you are not into regular maintenance. They clean just as good as the new v11, but the attachments are not as nice. I really like the new torque brush as I dont have to change it out from hardwood to low-pile carpets. On mid to high, I use proper vac.

Frustrating as hell.

In my early life, we had an $89 Hoover, with the bags and everything, and a cord 80 feet long (jk) from 1985 and that thing ALWAYS ran. It ran for the next 30 years. Besides removing hair / from the roller brush it needed a $ 6 belt replaced every few years by the vacuum repair guy down the street.

Back when Americans bought things once and paid only for repairs. (Saved Environment too.)

The Hoover was a PIA to change the bags though, was heavy to carry btw 3 floors and we still needed a stick vac or Dirt Devil to do steps/ crevice corners/ behind the fridge. Two dogs, two kids, a cat and guinea pigs x5 owners back then: lots to vacuum.

So when Dyson came out with V7, it was time. I picked it up on a BF sale at Costco for $225. (!) I loved the lightweight portability, the bagless feature, the slick tools, the chargability. Empty Nesting, down to one shorthair cat , no steps and 1300 sf, it fit the bill. Plus, I vacuumed more often just bc I could. 😉

Cons: The (regular) suction setting was next to useless: I had to use max power setting. Cleaned filter and roller brush like clockwork.... Then the battery died...right after the warranty ran out. 🤯🤯🤯

Dyson wants $125-150+ for battery replacement! Amazon has knock offs but all have bad ratings....so you are screwed.

Now Dyson wants upward of...$750 for their new models? ayfkm? They want to charge same rates as an Iphone? Dyson, you know what you can do with your new models.

If I were raising kids and pets I'd go for the Roller ball Pet models. Bissel makes reliable units per friends; my neighbor has a 40 year old (heavy!) Kirby which would be the thing you buy if you never want to buy another.

But for the Empty Nesters these are hard to pass up based on what we USED to vacuum with.

$$$$$$$$👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

LPT: Just do yourself a favor and buy a BACKUP battery while your DYSON warranty is STILL in Place. $$$$$$
