Need advice which cordless vacuum do I buy, Dyson V10 v Shark Statos

Well I’ve recently purchased a cordless Miele - extremely powerful. I can certainly recommend it.

I have a Shark (large house carpets, wooden floors and Amtico) very pleased with it long battery life and came with a spare battery.

I replaced my old Dyson V8 animal cordless with the new version. I looked at Shark, which is the obvious alternative but decided to stay Dyson.
Long battery, I can do my 4 bed 2 sitting rooms, large kitchen/diner easily. It does carpets and wooden/laminate floors.
I have 2 dogs, one a yellow lab so there’s a lot of golden labrador dust to hoover up

I wouldn't give James Dyson the money. He's a moral vacuum

James Dyson contributed a vast sum of money towards our now up and running Cancer Unit, invaluable to DH's treatment, so my fairly elderly Dyson will certainlybe replaced by another one when the time comes.

I also prefer Dyson it’s old but still works perfectly.

Dysons can be very heavy

My husband replaced our old Dyson with a shark detect pro. It has ample battery life to do the entire house and has a nifty emptying system. Easy to turn it into a handheld cleaner, the crevice tool has a port on the base unit so it's never lost.

I’ve had Dysons in the past, but am very happy with my Shark cordless, which came with a spare battery and easily converts to a hand held cleaner - it copes well with the dog hair!

The worst vacuum cleaner I have ever had (married 63 years) was a Dyson. Changing the bag was a pain and then a spark flew out of it which really worried me. The local electrical shop always sold them but gave them up as they had too much trouble from them. I bought a Sebo (not cordless) but the best cleaner I have ever had. I have two now. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. The shop mentioned only deals with Sebo andMiele. Agree with Grandmabatty as Dyson took his knighthood and then his money abroad.

Can I ask which Shark model you ladies have? My old Dyson that I use upstairs has finally given up the ghost, and I’m undecided as to whether to get another Dyson (which I do like, but feel they’re very expensive) or try the Shark.

The Dyson I had was appalling. They sent me a new charger and it was still appalling so I chucked it out. Bought a cheap one which is still working 5 years later. I really can’t understand why they do so well that company because daughter also had a fancy one that lasted less than 12 months when she changed it for a miele

I have just bought a GTech Air Ram which I can highly recommend. I have a mixture of mainly carpets, but a parquet hall floor, laminate in one room and vinyl in the kitchen and bathroom and it copes effortlessly with it all without any adjustments. The battery lasts about 45 minutes on one charge; it is as light as a feather and easy to empty. A great buy. It doesn’t have attachments, but I also invested in a lightweight handheld hoover with a motorised brush which deals well with the stairs and nooks and crannies. I am really pleased with both and so is my back which doesn’t have to lug a heavy hoover up and down the stairs
.

I guess it's the luck of the draw. I've had three Dysons, two were upright, an early model and a roller ball, then my present rechargeable one now nearly 7 years old. All have been absolutely fine, the roller ball still going strong at our sons home, the rechargeable more than adequate for our small bungalow and copes well with our Spaniels fur!

I had an original upright Dyson but moved into cordless animal V8. I’ve never had any problems with them. I have a spaniel and a huge yellow lab so the ground floor , big kitchen/diner, utility two sitting rooms and hall are done daily. As Jaberwok says, it’s probably luck if the draw.

My Gtech cordless is around 8 years old. Brilliant, lightweight and still going strong. I also have the Gtech hand held vacuum cleaner for the stairs. Does the job in no time. I would never go back to Dyson vacuum cleaners.

I’ve got a cordless Dyson animal and it struggles with dog hair . It gets clogged up and the filter needs cleaning after every use . I wouldn’t buy again

Tenko, it’s odd how different our experiences are with the Dyson animal. I’m happy with mine to the extent I bought the newer model when my 10 year old dyson v8 was becoming tired.

I’ve always been happy with Gtech

I love my cordless Bosch. Would highly recommend. Light. Easy to use. Has a light when it’s switched on which thrills me every time I use it! I know - I need to get out more…

The GTech Air Ram has a light too, Urmstongran - very useful when vacuuming under furniture!

I just like to see the dust balls alongside the skirting boards. Reminds me how virtuous I am doing some vacuuming.

Another vote for GTech air ram, best vacuum ever and many friends and family I have recommended to are also very pleased and would not change. My lovely cleaning girl was a huge Dyson fanatic until she tried my GTech and now agrees with me lol! Their customer service, should you ever need them, is absolutely excellent too.

Another vote for G Tech - been using for 10 years - no problems at all.
