In my experience, Dysons suck. Too much focus on appearance over function. I bought one because I wanted it to last longer than the cheaper ones I had bought before. There were so many issues with the design, it just didn’t work well, and in the end didn’t last any longer than the cheap ones, despite costing almost four times the price.

...which is a good thing, no?

yep, I agree. and I can't operate anything that requires a constant trigger pull (I think their cordless ones do?)

Yes, they do. And I can’t believe I wasn’t aware before I bought it. I waited years and watched a bunch of reviews, too.

yeah my hand can't do that!! u/Twi2122 we have this and we love it. there are other more expensive models on amazon and probably on walmart that have different doodads, but this is the specific model we have, and works great for our family of 2 humans and 3 cats.

the issue with having to constantly hold the trigger down on a dyson is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS in my personal opinion, and one of the reasons we didn't go with a different one. I have fibromyalgia and I can't do that!

Oh I'm glad you posted about this! I'm in the market for a cordless vacuum and am about to see a specialist about rheumatoid arthritis. It didn't even occur to me that it might be a trigger, I had never heard that! Thanks x million, I'm going to check out the one you got. :)

It’s the cheaper version of the New York Times Wirecutter pick. I’m sorry about the arthritis—I’ve got some as well. Google wirecutter tineco.

Not to mention when you change the attachment or empty the vacuum, I constantly accidentally push the trigger because it’s in a position you naturally will have your hand for leverage. 😂

Creaky plastic, shoddy feeling build quality. I've used a lot of Dyson cordless es (we have something like 6 where I work) and I don't like them. I can't really say what's better, but drop a Dyson and a piece of plastic is liable to shatter which requires expensive spares or a tape job.
