Dyson is like the Bose of vacuums. They have some really nice stuff here and there, sure, but it's very overpriced and much of their appeal exists on marketing and external design. Dyson robo vacs are awful too, so who cares?

Unlike Bose, Dyson is actually good and worth the money

The only good Dyson vacuums are their cordless sticks, which are admittedly great if moderately to stupidly expensive depending on the model. But their corded vacuums are trash compared to a much cheaper Shark unit that does the job more effectively and lasts longer without needing to replace parts.

Occasionally, you can find one at Goodwill for like 30 bucks.

The xiaomi roborock is really cool, it learns the room layout and knows where it is on the map so you can boss it around like an obedient robot slave.

Also it's a blatant chinese ripoff of the american made roomba for a third of the price!

They don't.

What I've got for mine is a 'base' station thing on every level of my house and just rotate it around. It runs Mon/Weds/Fri and gets moved between floors for each day. On the weekends if I feel like they need it I just use our shop vac/cannister thing to hit the stairs real quick. Yeah yeah "well you're still vacuuming!!", sure. I'd rather spend 5 minutes with the little vacuum doing the stairs than an hour or whatever doing the whole house, and this does the whole drat thing on its own for me every week and I don't have to feel like a lazy rear end for not wanting to.

That's like saying why bother with winter boots when you can wear the cheapest $15 canvas shoes from Walmart the whole winter but that's a proposition for idiots, just like not considering a robot vacuum especially when you have pets who shed whole dogs/cats everywhere each and every day.

The catalogue of nature has many hairless organisms for your perusal.

But seriously, animals or not a good vacuum is worth spending money on if you can.

You realize that the Shark is usually a 100% ripoff of a Dyson right

In fact pretty much everything on thr market other than those lovely papwr bag vacuums feom the 50s is a lovely copy of dysons designs

lol did you fall on your head recently?

Are your proposing that I buy a quasi worthless laptop and then make it more worthless by installing "Missing Driver Simulator 2000"?

And this is somehow a better investment than a robot vacuum cleaner that can get under every single chair and couch in my house?

Who cares? Shark build quality and design is way better than Dyson corded vacuums at this point. You can pick up a $150 (or often much less on sale) Shark Navigator and it beats the pants off any $300-400 Dyson. I won't deny that Dyson cordless stuff is drat good, but Shark is the king of corded vacuums.

Dyson's most popular vacuum, the Ball Animal 2, is stupidly heavy for basically no reason except Dyson is stuck in ancient design principles too. It weighs like 6+ lbs more than a superior Shark, which totally matters when you're vacuuming a large living room and upstairs area over an afternoon or whatever.

Are we talking about the same company here?

Shark has terrible build quality and all fheir designs are tacky copies of better designs. They're literally a lovely Chinese knockoff company. They break constantly.

You're also comparing a heavy duty full sized vacuum to a lighter model. Dyson makes a light corded vacuum too such as the Dyson Light Ball.

On Amazon the Shark Apex has a significantly better customer rating than any corded Dyson so I guess for some reason people still like their lovely broken vacuum better than any Dyson.
