I currently use dyson v11 cordless vaccum. I am in the market for a new one, what do you recommend instead ? Price is not too much of concern for me ATM.

- ttul 6y agoMiele makes the best vacuums IMHO.
- AlexandrB 6y agoI really like my Miele canister vacuum. It's light, quiet, and powerful. I find bagless vacuums, including Dyson's, to be a pain in the butt to clean by comparison. However Miele is certainly not a good value brand either. I've never used a cordless vacuum, but I find the concept suspect for basic physics reasons. You're either giving up weight, power, or both compared to something you can plug into a wall.
- ghaff 6y agoEven if you are giving something up for cordless--and I'm happy to stipulate you may be to some degree, there are a lot of situations where you want to do a quick touchup, clean up a spill, etc. and a cordless vacuum like a Dyson is so much quicker and easier. It's the same with a lot of battery-powered tools. They may not be quite as powerful as a corded or gasoline version but they're increasingly powerful enough, especially for relatively light duty use, and they're a lot more convenient.
- Siecje 6y agoIs there a vacuum that doesn't have a battery but uses the same form factor? I don't mind plugging it in but I don't want to drag around another object I just want to use it like a swiffer.
- duxup 6y agoI've had a good experience with a Shark vacuum. It had high ratings from Consumer Reports. I bought one and found it did a great job with heavy carpet and rugs, and wood floors. It is easy to take apart, clean, etc.
- phatfish 6y agoI have a Shark also, sub £200 (£170 i think), pretty sure a similar Dyson was easily twice the price. It is quite, light (its one of the hand held models) and certainly powerful enough for general use around the house.
- duxup 6y agoYeah the build quality really impressed me about the Shark. It's light, but has been really powerful, durable.
- JamesSwift 6y agoOur Shark just died but it served honorably for about 10 years if I remember correctly. It was very affordable when we got it as well.
- EarthIsHome 6y agoIt'll depend on your use case (square footage, majority carpet vs majority hardwoods with some rugs, etc). But as others have said, Miele is incredible. Sebo is another good one. They'll have specific models for your use case. You can browse /r/vacuumcleaners [0] for ideas. [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumCleaners/ https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumCleaners/
- SeanLuke 6y agoMiele. They last forever and are much cleaner, lighter, and more powerful than equivalent Dysons.
- ooboe 6y agoI have used a Miele bagged cannister and a Dyson bagless cannister, both corded, and a variety of cheaper units. Miele all the way.
