there are too many different models. dumb of dyson to make so many models. how many models does one need? they don't they just do two, one high end one low end? there are dozens of dyson vacuums. really dumb and makes it confusing. it shouldn't be so confusing to buy a vacuum. making me consider buying another type of vacuum.
What's the problem?
Where'd you get them from? What failed? My refurb V6 has lasted 5 years now and I wish it would die so I could justify a new one.

It's not about that. It's about large houses with difficult to get to places and long stairs.

You have to unplug and plug, use extension cords, get entangled in ways that are not an issue in a studio apartment or a small house.
Large houses are the most incompatible with cordless vacuums imo. One battery is never enough to do such a large space, and there's numerous negative reviews on almost every cordless vacuum from people with large houses because they just don't last long enough for them.

More choice can be a good thing but there are limits to that. There should be more than 1 vacuum to choose from in the market. But artificially-segmenting a product line along minute differences is an economic inefficiency because time wasted trying to arrive at a choice could be better spent elsewhere.

It's a topic that's received attention: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/...MC3758756/
Only an "economic inefficiency" for extremely indecisive people.

Do they simply not make normal vacuums anymore? I don't see the appeal of a cordless vacuum that will inevitably need new batteries. Plus the canister looks pathetically small. Where's a big normal vacuum?
Why are you under the impression that "normal" vacuums don't exist anymore? They're everywhere still.

Yeah, note on batteries: my Dyson v10 battery could not last long enough for me to do everything.
Also v10 and earlier do not have the clickable replaceable battery whereas v11 and later do.

To replace my v10 battery was $150.
To get a brand new v11 with clickable replaceable battery was $223.
I opted for the latter.

Much to my surprise the v11 battery by itself can last long enough where v10 couldn't.
But for larger jobs, yeah, you need an extra battery. They are click-changeable now starting with v11.


But I think the trade off is much bigger, I would need several extension cords for corded, they always tangle up, they can never reach all the way, you have to unplug/plug them into different sockets as you move - PLUS there are impossible to reach places for them, and doing some stairs with corded is simply not an option.

Yes! Both were covered but the third replacement I got the battery lasted about a year and I decided not to do another exchange. I was tired of it and decided to get another vacuum (Tineco). Great brand and battery hasn't died on me yet (3 years running strong). Dyson trying so hard to be the Apple of the appliance world by charging high prices but yet their quality is $hit.
Enjoy your Tineco, I'm glad it's working for you. If only it was like that for everyone else that gets one. The reviews on those vacuums are the worst of any cordless vacuum brand I've ever seen. From batteries dying after two uses, to customer service ignoring inquiries about warranty work, they seem like the opposite of a great brand tbh.

There IS a comparison chart that shows you the differences. It's on the cordless vacuum page on their website, as well as the help-me-choose-quiz you claim you can't find.
Not easy to find. Dyson really doesn't know what they're doing

Well I can say the samething about Dyson. Their customer service was pretty bad and didn't help me at all. They just told me to go into a service center lol. I also have friends who told my Dyson's CS gave them a run around which lead them to buy another brand. To each their own I guess.

I've had issues with Dyson and customer service was like slamming my testicles in the sliding door of a 1998 Dodge Caravan.

When they work they're great, if you have issues YMMV but it wasn't a fun time.

That being said don't run it on Max setting all the time and keep it away from excessive heat/cooling cycles and they're great. Have a V8 Absolute that I love and is still kicking it after plenty of heavy daily use. It's not going to replace your standard corded and you best believe that "fade free suction/power" is a load of marketing wank. You use it, you empty it, and you clean it just like everything else.

Other options on the market other than dyson that do just as good if not a better job, check out Vacuum Wars on Youtube for their really good no BS roundup on suction and how they perform on various surfaces. Ultimately what got me to pull the trigger on a Dyson and I'm glad I finally did (and waited till it was non insanity pricing).
So which one did you switch to after dyson?
