Dyson cordless is one of the best purchases I have ever made!! I vacuum way more than I ever did, and it really SUCKS! No joke. Dyson set the bar pretty high.

I have a V6 but it had the floor attachment on and it fell over. I’m seeing I might be able to replace that part. I think I still might want to get a corded vacuum as the battery life really wasn’t that great. But thank you for your reply

V6 was a long time ago, battery life has definitely improved. I’m still happy with my Dyson V8 4 years later but plan to upgrade and pass it on to my sister. You can also replace the batteries I think.

I know for me, the battery life is super dependent on keeping the filter clean, makes a huge difference. It is washable with water and should be done once a month.

Also, running on non-max mode works pretty well, and is super important to use the bare floor attachment for bare floors and the other one for carpet. I could see if the whole house was carpet the battery would have less runtime. And of course, keeping that filter clean is so, so important!

You are limiting the sucking power of a vacuum ALOT when it's cordless, and the battery (an expensive part) is quickly deteriorating every time you use it, specifically since a vacuum uses a lot of power. Definitely stay away from cordless, unless it's something you absolutely need.

Go watch AvE on YouTube. He's a Canadian fella who ~brakes~ takes things apart and tells you if they are any good. He tore apart one of the battery Dyson's once.
