So it turns out if you actually clean your vacuum cleaner properly it performs WAY better. Who’da thunk it? I had to pull it apart because it was saying airways blocked yesterday, which is apparently the level of cleaning I’m meant to be doing on this thing regularly anyway so I learned that too.
Also I just learned yesterday that you’re meant to replace the HEPA filters on Dyson stick vacuums once a year so I bought 2 aftermarket filters which arrive today. I’ve cleaned the existing one a few times, yesterday giving it a more thorough cleaning which was the cause of the “airways blocked” message, but apparently replacing them will make the vacuum perform even better.
It’s actually crazy how much dust/dirt this thing lifts off what I thought were pretty clean carpets. It must have been doing a pretty piss-poor job before I cleaned it.
No, if you’re comparing to good quality corded vacuums like a Miele etc - but I think they are quite sufficient for minor daily vacuuming especially on hard surfaces. Highly recommended for things like vacuuming the kitchen evey evening or play areas if you have kids

I thought I had a good vacuum cleaner until I got bissel wet vacuum carpet cleaner 😨 the water comes up black 😨
Wow I have never bought new filters, only ever washed/dried the old ones…hmmm
Are these anywhere near as good as mains powered vaccums?

Thanks Just_kitten :D
No.
I haven’t done a direct comparison myself but I can tell you they are very good! For smaller places like my apartment they’re a no-brainer.
