So lets hear it, what's the best vacuum? I have my Dyson DC37 vacuum that still works wonders and they have a fantastic warranty (when the ex used it to vacuum up drywall dust :moderatorban:)

What do you guys use?

[whitev70r]

Since this is a nostalgia to the 90's ... Electrolux Renaissance FTW. Before that, Filter Queen canister.

Now ... Dyson cordless for kitchen. For the rest of the house, some Cdn Tire special that is corded (generally better power than cordless ones, even Dyson).

[blkgsr]

Cordless Dyson....helps when my wife cleans out the canister and remembers the filter at the top

[GLOW]

best vacuum is one you don't have to use Kappa :troll:

i have a cheapo robot sweeper and when it works it's great, so long it doesn't get stuck on something or a brush fall out :lol

spot cleaning i use my ryobi hand vac

This depends on your use case.

Thin carpet and lots of stairs? Dyson V15 and get the longest warrant you can.

Pets or thick carpet and not much stairs but lots of floor area? Miele caniester's your best bet.

I have both rn - my roommate brought the V15 and I brought the Miele.

[68style]

I just use an Inse from Amazon... Dyson copy.. my parents and sister have one too.

Works great, no issues. Costs like 1/5th of a Dyson.

[hud 91gt]

I like the Dyson for ease of use. On high setting it’s a beast, but battery doesn’t last long enough.

V10… our trigger broke and warranty was actually a pain. But they fixed it after all. Way overpriced.

My sister has an Amazon knockoff (it’s white), it’s way cheaper but doesn’t have near the suction.

[quasi]

I've had a corded Dyson that I bought around 2002 still going strong, never had an issue with it although we don't use it as much as we used to because this house has a built in and we also have another cordless vacuum that's just easier at times.

[beatdownvictim]

Depends on the flooring you have in your home usual recommendations are miele and sebo

I bought a miele with powered brush since i got a bunch of carpet in the home now. They sell cheaper mieles buy it doesnt have the power supply for brushes in them so be aware of that.

[MG1]

I've had lots of vacuums in the past. Most are now collecting dust more than sucking it up, gulolol. I have a built in vac and it's great, but lugging around the hose and stuff is a real pain in the butt. I have two Samsung mini canisters and two Dysons. I use the Dysons most of the time. My all time favourite, though, is the Miele C3 Complete. I have enough bags and filters to last me a lifetime. It's nice that Miele has a store in Vancouver for parts and accessories. Parq for free across the street (Casino).

I also have a washer dryer combo made by Miele. Has been running trouble free for over ten years (knock on wood).

[Hondaracer]

I’ve got a V8 absolute we’ve had for 7-8 years now

I bought a replacement battery off Amazon that’s slightly larger capacity than the original one but I can vaccum 3/4 of my place on one charge. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Dyson again

The only downside are those heads that have the roller for carpet/hardwood seem to eventually wear out and get so jammed up they aren’t really fixable

I love my Dyson DC32 (I think) - it's a corded canister/cylinder on wheels rather than a ball like yours. My only complaint is that I wish the hose was longer (but then I'm tall and have a long reach). I used it to suck up a lot of baking soda and had to get it serviced... Oops!

I'm not crazy about cordless vacuums - yes they're convenient but they're simply not as powerful as corded.

Edit: and eventually you will run into battery issues

[Badhobz]

nah man nah!

ya'll wrong.

Best vac, by a country mile is the dewalt shop vac at costco. 120 bucks, it does wet and dry plus it comes with a billion attachements. Ive used it to suck water out of a hot tub (hose attachement), reversed the hose and used it as a makeshift leaf blower, clean the car/suv from all the dog hairs, and sucked up leaves after i used the blower function. I LOVE THIS THING

[Eff-1]

If you are ever in the market for a new vacuum, I highly recommend checking out Vacuum Wars on youtube.

This guy tests every vacuum under the sun and puts together very easy to understand, comprehensive comparison tests and reviews. Especially if you're going to spend big money on one, it worth looking at.

[EvoFire]

I bought a V15 Detect on Black Friday to replace our old V7.

We have a Miele as well.

I think we've got everything covered. Though the Miele rarely gets used now since the V15 is powerful enough to cover more bases now.

[Hehe]

Carpet=Miele

HW=Dyson, the newest green LED light is some serious shit. Allows you to see everything on the floor. But the bad part is that for person like me who has a bit of OCD, I can't stop vacuuming!!

Honestly though... my recommendation is just to get an iRobot or something, have it vacuum daily and buy whatever cordless one that fits your budget for anything the robot missed.

I got the new Dyson because it was on sale on BF and mine broke and we have been making do with the corded one.

But if it wasn't for that, I'd probably just get multiple iRobots, one for each floor and call it a day.

They have their use in a garage for macroscopic debris, but the hoses are stiff and the motor makes a louder sound than household vacuums. And I don't think the filtration on these are as robust as household vacuums.

[Great68]

We've had a corded Shark Rocket for probably about 5+ years now, can't really say much more about it other than it does in fact suck!

[Badhobz]

oh for sure you dont wanna use this in the house. But like you said for macro items, its great. Floor mats, dog hairs, gunk from the gutters. We just used it to suck the lint out of the dryer vent yesterday and then swapped it over to leaf blower mode and blew out the rest we couldnt get.

I LOVE THIS VACCCCCCCCCC!!! SUCK ME SO HARDKreygasmKreygasmKreygasm

house just got roughed in for vaccuum. i'm looking to see which motor to install.

Wife was a bit taken back that dyson only last 35 min at lowest setting... and it was one of my non negotiable to get an in house vacuum.

i borrowed my in laws just to vaccum the car.. max setting and it was 17 mins at best.

[spoon.ek9]

which one do you guys use for your cars though? needs to be portable enough to maneuver and have enough attachments to get into the cracks and crevices.

What draws you into a central system? I find it quite a hassle to carry the cord around.

I use a shop vac + RIGID car cleaning accessory kit. The included hose is more flexible than a standard shop vac hose which is handy when trying to vacuum the cabin.

[SkinnyPupp]

I was skeptical of the Dyson hype, but I got a V6 or whatever on sale and it really fucking sucks. Which for a vacuum of course means it works great. Works great on my tile floors. Only issue I have is the battery doesn't last long.

I remember watching a video on youtube, some engineer dude who takes tools apart, was looking at a Dyson, and he was pretty impressed by the design. All those weird tubes actually work to make it suck harder. The replicas you see on Amazon might look the same, and they might work fine, but they are just regular vacuum cleaners if they don't have the exact same design (which I don't think they can since it would be patented).

[Great68]

I would have bought a Dyson, but they don't make a Corded version of the stick vac. I don't have anywhere convenient to hang the vacuum that it's anywhere near a power outlet to plug a charger in.

I have a V6 and it's one of my most durable vacuums that I've owned before

I agree the OEM battery totally sucks, it died after a couple of years, then I replaced it with an aftermarket battery. Hasn't skipped a beat for 7 years total ownership.

The power head recently shit the bed, been keeping an eye out on FB marketplace for replacement parts.

But now I currently own a V15. It's been great around the house, only uses about 30% battery to vacuum up my 940sq coach house.

[PeanutButter]

The only reason why I didn't buy a Dyson was because at the time they didn't have an always on option. for some reason you have to hold the trigger down.

So I went with Tineco, they have an always on trigger and it came with an extra battery, and it was cheaper than my parents Dyson.

I literally used my parents Dyson yesterday and it was pretty annoying to hold the trigger down. Not sure if they changed this with their new ones.

[Hondaracer]

I’ve never once found that to be an issue in the 8 years of owning mine lol the thought has never even crossed my mind.

You’re not holding down the button for the entire 10 minutes of runtime lol

Yeah I'll have to look into a new battery pretty soon.. The rest off the unit is holding up pretty well. It gets banged around a lot and looks like it, but it works great still, aside from the battery.

[Hondaracer]

If you have cordless power tools, they sell adapters which convert the Dyson battery to use Dewalt/makita barriers now

[N.V.M.]

my Dyson is a Makita.

I have the V8A as well with an aftermarket battery too. You can actually clear the jam pretty easily, I did it last month with the one that came with my V8. There is like a "coin" slot type thing on one of the side, just turn it and then you can pull out the entire brush roller thing. Then take some scissors and cut the hairs/threads that have tangled them up. Re-insert and tighten the piece of plastic with the slot and it'll spin freely again.

https://i.imgur.com/nNzsdUXm.png

My one complaint with all these handheld cordless units, is that after vacuuming for an extended time, the hand/wrist can get tiring holding the trigger and manuvering it all over the place.

Yea the one giving me trouble is the exact one pictured and I think the bearing or whatever is out in the actual roller because I’ve taken it apart a few times now and it just doesn’t want to spin anymore. Luckily have the second carpet one or whatever it’s for

[EvoFire]

It seems like you can buy the Detect head separately from the V15, and I want to say it's probably the same attachments so you can attach the Detect head on a V7 or V8 or whatever. But.... seems to != actually working.

[inv4zn]

I went from a V8 to a V15 and it was totally worth it. Stacked a ton of CTire/Triangle promos and got it for ~$500 at the end of the day.

It runs longer, the bin is easier to clean, the laser thing is pretty cool at really showing all the dirt, and the carpet-head tangles far less hair, etc.

The only downside is that it's heavier.

[donk.]

A vacuum thread?.......

RS deeply disapoints me today

[Razor Ramon HG]

So I bought this Bissell steam mop because reviews were good.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B097Q8KMD3

The fucking pads on one side keep slipping off when I use it.

:fuuuuu:

[unit]

we use a neato d8 robot vac but we also have a dyson v8. the neato is kinda dumb, sometimes it doesnt complete it's cycle down the hallway, but overall the robot vac + stick vac combo is working for us.

i agree that the worst vac is the one you don't want to use, so i avoid any type of corded vacuums even if they have better suction. we have hard floors everywhere no carpet so we don't need crazy suction.

[gurdeep007]

We currently have the Dyson V8, only replaced the filters 2 times in the past 5 years (amazon filters). Battery is finally showing its wear and only lasts about 15 minutes on regular and 5 min on max..

Waiting for the Dyson V15 to go on sale at Costco again, but I have read the V15 has some issues with not turning on and battery life.

[murd0c]

A joke turned into an actual discussion about vacuums... Goes to show you we are all so old we can actually have a full on talk about vacuums and which one's are best and enjoy it.

[Badhobz]

well the actual "car" part of the forums aint much better

its all like how to ICBC is fucking you / VI's, or which people mover / SUV is the best for my growing famiily, or winter tires are important cuz of 1 week of snow, etc etc

This is basically a middle age men's support group at this point.

[PeanutButter]

RS is cheaper than therapy.

A guy I know goes every week and it's $140 each visit.

[Badhobz]

The other day me and some friends were playing COD and a random 4th joined us, the guy was killing it and said he used to play in paid tournaments etc.

We then asked how old he was and he was like 19.. the guy wasn’t even alive when we were all playing CS and other games lol.. first time maybe ever where I actually felt old

I had a Neato D4 vacuum which exhibited similar issues as your D8, but the Lidar system was a big upgrade over the crash-everywhere Roomba the Neato replaced.

I found my equilibrium with the robot vac + cordless vacuum setup. The robot runs on a schedule which helps with the dust and the cordless takes care of surfaces when they need dusting.

Robot vacuum technology is getting better every year - this new Ecovacs I picked up has scrubbing pads for mopping and a self-cleaning station that can clean the pads and empty the dust bin. Think the camera can even be used as a live camera feed that can be controlled through the app (haven't set up the machine yet)

[Spoon]

Used a Dyson DC39 for 10+ year and was still able to get about a third or a quarter of the value off FB marketplace. I've since upgraded to another Dyson and paired it with a Shark Rocket; mainly for the front door since the puppy was bringing home too much debris from walks. I must say those stick vacuums are pretty darn convenient. If I had cash to burn, I would've opted for one as a primary, but too many stories of the battery dying prematurely.

[Badhobz]

That’s why you buy dysons from Costco. I’ve returned my v15 twice now. First time it just died and refused to charge. Second time the trigger wouldn’t stay on while held.

Easy peasy.

[Liquid_o2]

Look at all of you with your fancy Dyson's. Here I am sucking with my corded Shark stick vacuum.
