Form over function. All I can say is the Dyson cleans our carpets better than any vacuum we've had before it.
Just seems cool to hate on Dyson on here, Miele or Henry seem the only options.

It's not a hatred of Dyson. It's more that they aren't so much of a genius design they make out to be. They perform brilliantly.. Until they gradually start to clog the holes and filters. Then they seem to fall off rapidly. Ours does anyway.
Also I don't really get the logic behind looking at dust through a clear jug. I'd rather just chuck a bag in the bin.
We have an upright Dyson and it's worked for 5 years now with no bother. We also have a miele cat and dog. It's 2200w and practically pulls the carpet up. It's in another league to our Dyson.
Henry's are also good if you have the turbo brush head.

Clear bin = being able to see when it needs emptying isn't that obvious.

I mean I presented my arguments for why they're a poor vacuum, so it's hardly me trying to be "cool" like everyone else.

Got a V6 recently and while it is very convenient to use it doesn't pick up that well and runs out of battery quickly

I have always been a VAX man, they just suck the heck out of anything. Our dyson single ball wheel job is rubbish but our battery powered vax 32v will out do it. The battery lasts ages too.
I have never had Dyson, just bagged (currently Bosch cat/dog < £150), but the dislike of Dyson comes from :
- Expense, even at outlet/deal prices rarely sub £200, their advertising does not justify product value.
- The design does not look robust, form over function, garish colours & cannot just wipe box down like a standard vacuum cleaner
- James Dyson's pitious accusations against the unfair EEC standards (and then his Brexit stance - lol) .. it would be like buying from Ratner, I'd buy an Apple product first.
- Lack of objective reviews on the likes of youtube - I concluded they are in cahoots and marketting is carefully cultivated .. kings new clothes.
Im not the idiot thankyou very much,,I would cancel the insurance and pay when I need it to be fixed, but my family member is sticking at it, as they think they will get a new dyson once the parts cant be replaced.
I agree and the new henry's are worse because they have less suction. If you buy any kind of cylinder vacuum you really, really need a brush with a spinning brushbar to be anygood.. I have a dyson turbine brush on my henry and now he's "super henry"
Dysons are the best bagless vacuums I think as they never clog up if you clean the filter and stuff every few weeks or so. Other branded bagless vacuums start clogging up the moment you look at them, due to the very poor filter design.
I much prefer bagged vacuums, I dont know why we changed.
The bin design is much better on the v7 because it pulls down all the madeup fluff and stuff from around the filter in the bin as you empty it, so you dont need to get your hands dirty at all.
I dont think the suction is much different on the v6 or v7, but yeah the suction power isnt great, but if to think about it you dont need great suction power anyway and if you vacuuming carpets or floors in your home, as the motorized brush sweeps all the dirt up from the carpet and the suction just sucks it in the bin. Plus the suction is strong enough on normal setting for most tasks when not using the motorized brush also.
Everything is going cheap and plasticy nowadays.
interesting comment in reddit that battery powered vacuums don't need energy classification, seems the eu needs to legislate on providing efficiency information.
(interesting tear down video too on utube BOLTR: Dyson Animal | Cordless Vacuum , plus the older dyson ball)
re:motorized brushes - how many are genuinely motorized as opposed to just vacuum driven ? Bosch's are vacuum, and not so powerful.

Pull the filter out and wash it. Mine was pulsing like that, internet advice said wash the filter - my filter looked really clean but I jetwashed it and dried it off, the pulsing has now gone.

Dyson V6 is genuinely motorised, there are electrical connectors in the brush head running to the vacuum motor.
I will tell the cleaner
Tried samsung, miele, henry and panasonic corded vacs, yeah corded vacs are more powerful but then you have to work with that power and weight
also. You will end up spending half a day cleaning your floors while with a dyson v8+ I just give it a quick whiz around the home and am done in few minutes daily and when I empty the dirt its a fair amount built up bit less then what a corded would get mind.
Anyone getting a dyson should also check out ebays dyson refurbished outlet store, they have offers all the time my V8 was pricey think it was roughly 350, but
seen it once go down to 300, worth every penny but not at £400-500+
Am tempted to sell my V8 and go for the V10 !

What's the warranty on them batteries? Dunno about the v10, but the v8 batteries are warranted for...1 year. Well, that's for replacement batteries anyway. 15 years lol. If they thought that, they'd warranty them. It's pure lip service.

I paid £278 for a V8 Absolute a few months back, good ol eBay 20% off voucher - not used the DC25 since getting it!
I have a V10 and it’s a great machine but the build quality is pretty awful. I’m awaiting my 3rd replacement at the moment. The first the small plastic clip that stops the bin falling off broke so the bin fell off every time you empty it. It’s just a small piece of plastic and not up to the job really. My second brand new replacement was DOA out the box nothing happens when you pull the trigger.
I have another new replacement coming and Dyson have given me a Free Tool kit for the inconvenience but still not the greatest so far.
My V6 which is a few years old and well abused still works perfect.

Last Vax upright lasted me 9 years and only just failed, replaced with another Vax (air stretch pet plus) that will likely last just as well, and still a fraction of the cost of a Dyson or anything else.
