The V15 motorbar head can definitely clamp down on different types of carpets. In my experience mostly area rugs without any backing or very thick carpets. I have one particular small area rug that even on Eco and all the gates open it's just not possible. There's just no airflow between...

I think that only happens on the DC17 if the seal is pushed upwards with the bin flap.

I've seen this trend as well. If you go to WalMart they're filled with them. I don't understand why none of these budget bagless vacuums have good cyclones. The filters get dirty within minutes of use, so they're basically useless. We have one of these in our house. It's a Eureka...

https://www.theguardian.com/thefilter/2025/oct/29/dyson-v16-piston-animal-vacuum-cleaner-review In the cat litter test, I was left with more uncollected cat litter after a single forward pass and backward pull than I was with the Gen5detect, both on carpet and hard floor. The V16 was good at...

Ball Animal 3 would be Dyson's best ever upright with a few minor changes. Suction control for the hose/wand as its way too strong and cumbersome. Literally sucks the hose back towards the machine and you have to fight with it constantly. And in my opinion a different Cyclone design...

My pick is the Samsung Motion Sync from 2015. It was essentially a response to the Dyson Ball Uprights with a weird gimmick. It had two dustbins and two motors. One for the main vacuum and another for an integrated handheld vacuum. A fun idea for commercials or something but it was...

It doesn't have a great bagless design. (Just an empty bin with a single filter that all the dust clings to, no cyclones or anything) I haven't done any testing but I assume the filtration isn't great. (Tbf it wasn't great on the 90s handhelds either with the paper bags) But if you're...

Good machines but be very gentle as the plastic is very brittle on those older Dysons now. At least the US ones.

Who originally made the AirRam? I have the first one that was bought many years ago by my parents with the Bissell branding. It's ok. It has basically no filtration and very average suction. So I wouldn't say it's worth recommending really. Maybe the newer models are better though...

Idunno about older Kenmore canisters but newer bagged ones leak dust everywhere in the canister. So they're pretty hard to recommend.

This one is apparently completely unusable at anything. But maybe there are better models out there. I haven't done much research into tool brand vacuums.

I'm going to use a Dyson Cinetic Canister bin as a cyclone assembly for a shop vac. Does anyone have any idea how the airflow works on these? Does the dirt go IN through the hole on the bottom and out the larger hole in the back? (I believe the smaller one is a suction release) Or is it the...

Most of these old companies jumping into the Stick Vacuum trend just outsource it and put their name on it. Like what sadly Dyson is now doing to their robot line. The only other stick vacuum I've seen that looked interesting was the Miele Triflex since you can put the canister down further...

I enjoy Dyson stick vacuums and have used their products in general. But I'm not gonna blindly defend them either. V16 has some good technologies but also seems to suffer from some design problems. FrickHelms video showed a lot of dust in the filter chamber. That's terrible. So it's not...
