Dyson is marketing and status, like Kirby and rainbow . It is a vacuum. Eureka or sharp. Save your money.

Our Rainbow is almost 30 years old and runs like a champ and can even do wet if needed. In my experience it’s water tank works just as well as our Kenmore elites hepa filter. It’s like the Toyota T100 of vacuums IMO. Can buy them used for a decent price and they last forever. Only downside is wife feels that it’s bulky; so she prefers Kenmoore.

Shark Navigator. See amazon. Not overly priced like Dyson

I have a 8’x5’ rug in my living room and used to have a Hoover upright vacuum. When I bought my Dyson, I vacuumed that rug with the Hoover and thought it was clean, then proceeded to fill the canister on the Dyson on the same rug.

This one was before the ball Dysons so I don’t know how good the new ones are. But it is amazing how much better it was than my old hoover.

I have one of the rechargeable Dysons that I use for most stuff now and have a roomba that runs every day. If I can convince my wife to shut the bathroom door before she leaves so it doesn’t get hung on all her cords, it does the whole house which is great for day to day maintenance.

I just disassembled a Dyson yesterday, because it smelled like mildew. That foreign a-hole put T9 torx screws in it, so I had to spend half a day finding a T9

I've had the same Oreck since the late 1980s.

Rainbow

I've had foreign trucks, and worked on plenty of foreign vehicles. I have basically every tool I'll ever need to fix stuff. Never once had to use a T9 (but I do have a T7 for my pocket knife made in Colorado). The micro kits I have go 7, 8, and then 10.

I do have a multi-bit Wiha with a T9 in it, but it wouldn't fit into the holes on the Dyson. He could've made it easy and put all T10s like everyone else in the world, but nope

We have two Dysons.

Best vacuums.
