After reading the article, I gotta say I agree on all points. It’s been a game-changer for keeping my place clean. The easy maneuverability and strong performance are real highlights. Definitely recommend it.

The article nails it – the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is fantastic. I’ve had mine for over a year now, and it’s still going strong. The convenience of being cordless and the powerful suction make it a great choice.

I’ve had a few over the years and I have to say my newest Dewalt DCV501HB is by far the best, I use around the house too.

Cordless vacuums are best for light duty pickups on hard floors or quick pickups on carpet. They are universally not very repairable and expensive. You could spend 1200 on one that would do an okay job but only last a couple of years. What you are describing does not sound like the job for one.

Cordless, good for carpets, inexpensive, pick two.

Cordless, good for carpets - Simplicity Freedom Cordless. But, no tools, not great for bare floors, useless for cars, etc. Fairly expensive.

Cordless, true multi-surface - Lindhaus Valzer L-Ion. Very expensive.

I have the shark Ion p50. I cannot recommend it enough.

I have had it for 4 years with HEAVY use. I have young kids and use it every time we finish a meal on hard wood and carpet. It’s a workhorse.

If something breaks you can buy specific parts on sharks website.

As you can probably tell, this sub is generally anti cordless and bagless. Unfortunately for me, like you, I also have young kids and don’t want to deal with the hassle of a cord, but I also don’t want the thing to die on me in two years. I’m considering the new Sebo cordless that is set to come out in the US next month - at least it seems like a more reliable brand than Dyson or Shark. Otherwise I’m just going to buy the Dyson V15 at Costco and return it to Costco if it breaks.

Avoid Dyson at all costs. The first component that breaks is the trigger, and the service is absolutely terrible. I’ve had a Miele Triflex HX 2 for 3 years now, and still going strong like on Day 1.

Good decision cuz the latest cordless models are catching up power wise. But ofc for everyday home use especially with a toddler and a golden retriever, it will be less about wattage and more about how it handles real mess.

I’d look at the Simplicity Cordless. It’s one of the few cordless uprights that’s bagged and can stand on its own. The brushroll adjusts automatically between carpet and hard floors which is great since you're 50/50 like me. And since it’s a bagged HEPA system, it will actually traps pet fluff and dander. Battery replacements will always be a thing with cordless but unless you're vacuuming for hours a day, this lasts long enough to do a solid clean without stressing. You're also not dealing with the usual stick vac issue where all the weight is in your wrist and you have to lean it against furniture every 5 mins.

Handling pet hair on mixed floors daily without the vac dying fast or a toddler yanking cords is a pain

the OP in this other thread sorted a budget cordless that tackled similar dog hair messes reliably https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumCleaners/comments/1lk72m7/need_a_solid_cordless_stick_vacuum_that_doesnt/

I got a used Miele stick and it works pretty well

I just read the linked article, and I have to agree with everything it said. This vacuum has been amazing for my home, especially with pet hair. The battery life and suction are top-notch.

Better than the v11???

Also definitely agree with the article on this one. The V8 has been the best vacuum I’ve owned, hands down. The versatility and efficiency of this vacuum make it a must-have for any home.

With an incoming pet, go corded.

This Tineco Vacuum cleaner is very nice. It’s appearance is sleek and very high tech. While it does not feel as light as the the Shark vacuums that have their motors on the ground, it has more powerful suction and does a better job. This vacuum is very quite even though it has a lot of power. The motor is at the top of the handle and so, yes there is some weight there, but no, it is not too heavy. It came with two attachments, in addition to the carpet sweeper; a crevice tool and a convertible brush duster. The pistol-grip handle/motor can be detached and the attachments attach to it for easy cleaning of furniture, ceiling crevices and other hard to get-at places. They also include a wall rack mount which I used. This keeps the vac out of the way and fully charged. The wall rack also stores the attachments so that everything is always handy. There are LED lights on the main housing which allows you to see under stuff. I was shocked see how much fine dust and cat/dog hair this vacuum picked up in such a short amount of time! This vacuum picks it all up which makes like it was never there. I didn’t attach pictures as there is nothing I could show that isn’t already shown on the box and in the quick instructions guide. It’s super easy to clean with little notes build into the handle disclosing when and how. The dustbin is super simple to open and clean out. All in all, this is a very good vacuum and I am very happy to have it.)

This Tineco Pure One S11 Series Smart Vacuum Cleaner is the best vacuum I have ever used and owned!! It was very easy to put together, only took maybe 5 minutes. It comes with a wall-mount, 3 different attachments, and 2 cleaning tools. All of which work terrific!! The instructions and quick start guide were very informative and helpful. I really like that this has an app. I can control the speed settings from my phone and much more! The suction this has is outstanding!! There are three different modes. The auto, manual, and max mode. All 3 work terrific for different messes. This also will adjust itself to the level of mess too! With just one swipe across, this picks everything up!! The attachments make it easy to clean furniture and also the car. Overall, the quality is excellent!! If you're looking for a really good vacuum cleaner, this one is definitely the one

You might want to consider the Shark IX141 as a contender instead of a Dyson. I picked one up not too long ago and it's been a solid performer.

The Shark IX141 is surprisingly lightweight, which is a big deal when you're trying to clean up high or whip around furniture. The suction power is pretty impressive for its size, and it does a great job with pet hair, which is a huge win in my book.

Battery life is decent – gets me through a decent-sized cleanup without petering out. And it's not too noisy, which is a bonus. Plus, it's way more affordable compared to some of the high-end models if you're not looking to drop a small fortune on a vacuum.

I own the Dyson V11. It’s expensive but a great machine. It can be repaired by the owner and the parts are available online. My wife dropped ours and broke the main housing. I simply bought a new housing, with a new motor, control board and trigger assemble. Took 5 minutes to swap the unbroken parts from the original to new housing.

I got a Dyson V15 last Christmas and I can't recommend it enough!

The best cordless vacuum cleaner for an apartment with a combination of carpet and hardwood floors would likely be the Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum. The Dyson V11 is a powerful, high-performance cordless vacuum that offers strong suction and a variety of attachments for different cleaning tasks, including a Torque Drive cleaner head for carpets and a Hard floor tool for hardwood.

It has a good battery life and comes with advanced features like an LCD screen that shows real-time information on battery life, performance, and filter maintenance. It's also lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for cleaning tight spaces, such as corners and along baseboards.

The Vacuum Wars YouTube channel recently released their Best of 2022 videos. It's where I go for reliable information.

Love my Miele

We tried the LG cordless one from costco and hated it after a year. We have mostly laminate* flooring and it would just shoot particles everywhere instead of picking them up. Even quite small pieces it wouldn’t pick up and we ended up having to hand pick up small leaves and such.

We recently picked up the dyson v10 and so far really enjoying it. It actually picks things up!

I have a dyson absoute v10 and it's been going strong for 3 years now. I can do most of my house on the high setting in one go and it picks up a ton of cat hair

Dyson v15 Absolute Detect here. We love it, no buyers remorse even with the steep price.

The laser is amazing on hardwood floors and you will never realize how dirty your floors are even when they look clean - and it sucks everything up effortlessly.

The Dyson V11 Should be your starting point and more than enough for most people. The V8 is nice, but Picking the Dyson V11 over the V8 is like going from a regular bicycle to a turbocharged electric bike. The V11 kicks it up a notch with smart features like automatically adjusting suction for different floors and a cool LCD screen showing you exactly how much power you've got left. Plus, it's got more juice in the battery and a bigger dustbin, so you can clean longer without stopping.

I've had both and hands down I would go with the Dyson V11 again any day.

It's always a good idea to plan ahead! When it comes to cordless vacuums, I've always been a fan of Tineco Pure One . It's very quiet and performs very well. It's lightweight too making it super easy to use.

I would like to know what this sub thinks is an objectively well designed stick vacuum.

Dysons are fine if you don’t have pet hair. They just do a terrible job with pet hair on high pile carpet.

It’s like the apple of vacuums. Not really built to last a long time and objectively overpriced.

What about the new Miele DuoFlex stick vacuum? Anybody have experience with that?

I currently have had experience with three Dyson stick vacuums. I like all of them. Not having to use a corded vacuum and not having to carry around a canister are things I really enjoy. It has turned something that I once viewed as a nuisance and a massive chore into something that I borderline enjoy.

I will say this though. They are very plasticky and if they fall down there's probably a high chance of them breaking internally.
