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

Mine is a Bosch. Happy with it so far.

I have a Sebo titan large cylinder vacuum for downstairs. It has a 6 kg dust bag and a really long cord.Itis brilliant but heavy.I have a Shark Rocket corded stick vacuum which is great, powerful and light.Iuse my little Shark for stairs, and everyday quick cleanups.I have never liked cordless vacuums as the charge does not seem to last that long.Ihad a Dyson years ago but it wasn’t that great, also they seem to be extremely expensive compared to other brands.

I had a GTech K9, lasted just over 2 years. It broke at the bottom so my handy hubby repaired it, it only lasted about a fortnight after that. So i was determined not to fall for all the advertising hype regarding Dyson, Shark and all the usual big names. I bought a Greenote Cordless off Amazon, and it is wonderful. Its lightweight, very efficient at getting carpet bits up and the amount of dust in the chamber is quite surprising. It is also much easier to manouvre around compared to the GTech, and its also just under a hundred quid, happy day.

Bought a Dyson 3-4 years ago & was happy with it until one day the lady who helped clean for me said it wasnt working. Could not find out why. So bought a Shark so that I had a cleaner till got the Dyson fixed! Then moved & recently my son found someone who fixes most cleaners! Did a lovely job on the Dyson, blamed the cleaning lady for putting the filter back on before it was properly dry! Made such a good job of it I cannot use it now as my hands are too bad to hold it, very powerful machine! So gave it ti my DDiL as she has always wanted one & she loves it. I can manage the Shark so we are both happy! Just depends on what you need!

Our G-Tech is fine

Love my G Tech - I’ve got the hand held one too for stairs, skirting boards and spot cleaning. I absolutely detested the upright Dyson I once had. DD1 was given that gimmicky hair dryer they did. She said it was useless.

I have a bosch cordless which I find to be a very easy to use vacuum cleaner and not too heavy (as others seem to be)

I wouldn’t ever buy a Dyson again, I have had 3 but completely agree with Grandmabatty. After his push for Brexit, then moving production abroad he is not getting anymore money from me. G Tec are rubbish, I have a Miele now, but it is heavy, I have heard Shark is very good.

not dyson. found it heavy, clunky, cumbersome. waste of money.
shark. or g-tech. or others mentioned here.

I'm not seeing any messages on gransnet, all I am seeing is this under the title. $message.get/viewQuoteSection($1iu) i'm confused anyone haveing this problem? I'm not sure what to do to rectify it. Any help would be appreciated, that's if I can read it!! Just realised I won't be able to!!

I wouldn't get another Dyson.
My rechargeable one stopped working. I had it completely overhauled with a new battery after being told I shouldn't ever leave it on charge
so my fault
I paid £100 and it's stopped working again.
I use the faithful Henry.

We've not been lucky with our Dyson cleaners, they've all failed pretty quickly.
I'd suggest you visit a large electrical retailer and see how easy they are to use, some are very cumbersome and it isn't always easy to remove the handles to make them easier to use on stairs.
Also some have a large motor at the top which must make them more difficult to use?
We've had a Bosch for a few years and it's fine, though the charged battery doesn't last long on full power. We can remove the handle to do the stairs, though as it is very light we don't always bother.

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

Yes, our filters were the problem too, they cut out after one use unless the filter was thoroughly cleaned. We had no pets.

Shark definitely. I have 2, one upstairs and one downstairs, had dyson in past and i think shark are much better, suction, easy yo use and lighter. Apparently they are much more popular now than dyson, i just bought a new one from currys, £130, fir upstairs save me lugging the other one upstairs. Definitely recommend shark.

I'm getting this on my mobile, but can open messages normally on my laptop. Are we alone? I dare not touch the mobile messages in case they're infected!

BTW, always used Dyson until his politics stuck in my craw. Have a shark corded now.

I have a shark cordless. Better than previous dyson but still doesn’t cope with dog hair.clogs up every day. Gone back to my Henry corded.such a difference!

Thanks all as before Christmas I decided to get a new hoover so all your reviews are just what I wanted to read

Why can't I read any posts. They are all just random words!!!!!

Dyson for us too, and both sons have them - all cordless, the oldest must be 10 years old and we're all very happy with them

We have both. (4 dogs, you see) - either do the whole 4 bed three floors house. I find the Dyson lighter and easier to use (Shark is folded when not in use) but my husband says Shark superior product

GTech for me too. I’m on my 2nd ( in a 10 year time frame) so maybe longevity isn’t as good as some but for performance and ease of manoeuvre I love it ( & the hand held for stairs is so much easier) . Customer service is totally first rate.

ONLY Dyson…never Shark!
There is absolutely no comparison in quality, craftsmanship, battery life, suction and mobility.
Happy Housecleaning!

I inherited an old but hardly used Air Ram which made a racket when switched on. I telephoned customers service who talked me through taking it apart and even. without the brushes and basket it was still making the same loud rattle. They suggested I purchased a new casing, which cost me just close on £ 100 instead of buying a brand new one at £ 230, The only thing not being replaced is the battery and the basket. I am well chuffed. Excellent customer service.

Another vote from me for Gtech. Foolishly I replaced my very well used Gtech with a Shark. The weight of the motor and the dirt box all have to be carried by the user and I have noticed this same design flaw with several other makes too. I have to decide to do just a couple of rooms a day as the Shark is really too heavy for me now. As I'm 67 I'm sure there will be many others, both younger and older than me, who must find the same problem. A point to be considered when making a new purchase!@
