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.
It's a topic that's received attention: https://www.ncbi.nlm.ni
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.

- 10% cash back and $30 new user bonus for my wife and $30 for me for her using my referral code (from a cash back site that shall not be named, thanks for deleting my post mod!)
= $192 - Can't complain about that!
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).
