We've been through a couple of the Dysons. After not too long, we'd only get a few minutes per charge, not even enough to do our stairs. Just ordered a Meile cordless, hopefully it's better.

Well that sounds awful. I hope your experience is an anomaly.

Did you ever think about replacing the battery instead of the whole vacuum? Not holding a charge is a battery problem. Hope you are least donated your old one so someone willing to get a new battery could get an awesome deal on a good vacuum.

I prefer Miele over Dyson and believe Dyson are overpriced, but they’re still great vacuums and batteries aren’t super hard to replace.

We did. Couldn't find a Dyson battery anywhere. Ended up getting a generic battery, but it won't hold a charge for a minute. We got two at the same time (one for the camper). So I guess I just need help sourcing real Dyson batteries.

Dyson sells them on their website for the newer models, and you can always call their customer service to see if they have any for the older models.

This goes for lots of parts for lots of manufacturers. I needed a part for my Vitamix that wasn’t available anywhere online. I called Vitamix and not only did they have it, they sent it to me for free.

Always try the manufacturer even if their website doesn’t offer what you’re looking for. It never hurts to ask.
