Our Hoover is probably 15 years old, and Dyson about 4 years and neither has issues. Parts are easily found online (batteries and the canister button popped off the dyson v6) I found with cordless vacuum over the years that it has to be at least $50+ to be decent given the batteries inside alone are worth more than some cheap ones off Amazon. Perhaps these days maybe 70 even. Is this a cheap one off amazon for $18 or a pricey one?

If looking for a new one with the pole style, consider the LG.

Mine cost $90. It’s a dirt devil so not top of the line but not cheep. Might price motors vs vacuums and see if I can keep it going another 2-3 years.

I would see the costs to repair, I think that's worth investigating..esp given it's 2 years old only and the lithium battery is still new.

I'll be honest, not a fan of dirt devil if you decide to get another. It's like the Black & Decker for power tools. In all reviews and Consumer Reports, it's never in the top ten or even 15. LG, Hoover, Dyson, Shark, Samsung, Bissell, etc are the ones who excel at and invest in improving.
