Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Hi,
Would like members opinion on what brand of cordless upright vacuum cleaner they like best. :h
Thanks
  • Dyson DC59 Animal. Pricey like all Dyson products. We are hikers and Jeepers as well as travel with 4 cats and 3 dogs and have lots of hair and tracked in dirt. Dyson does a great job. Plenty of charge to do the MH.
  • At home we have a Hoover LiNX which is almost fun to use. We use it on our vinyl floor only. Not sure how good it would do on carpeting. We don't use it on our RV only because there is not enough room to store it but we would if we could. Walmart has them for $134 or so.
  • I have a built in central vac, and a dyson cordless vac. I can count on one hand the times that we used the central vac. The dyson does an excellent job, and the runtime is long enough to do the entire coach. I have the charging base permanently installed in the closet. It is a simple 1,2,3 to unhook and use and then put back on the charger. The central vac hose is a pain to hook up use and put back. The hose is heavy and ungainly to get back into the storage bag. The only con to the dyson, is that you can't leave it in the coach if the temps go below 40, as the battery is extremely susceptible to cold. I had one fail, which they replaced with much coaxing. It is now on the winterization checklist.

    Makita we have used a variation of this for 20 years, now with the 12 or 18 volt battery you can have your drill impact and vac all using the same battery.

    This is the best we have ever found -- it's so good it is a favorite for Christmas presents and we have never had a person not just love it.

    If you follow it on Amazon you will run into a special once or twice a year.

    BOL,
  • We looked and looked at cordless vacs but couldn't find one we liked or at price that was reasonable. Ended up by a corded Bissell from Walmart. It is about 3/4 the size of a standard upright vacuum, bagless and with the smaller head can get between the dining chairs without moving them. It cleans really good and only paid $34.99 for it.
  • I bought a dyson battery vac. will leave it plugged in until we need it. it only works for 20 minutes or so.
  • We were looking at them. One's we found only run about 15 min on a charge.
    Some had charger built into them. Some had a charging station.
    Think we will go with a corded one.
