Dyson has a pretty comprehensive warranty program though, the servicing team will even make their way to you instead of having you go to them which I appreciate.nelyanne wrote: ↑Sun, 20 Feb 2022 1:47 pmI would advise buying a Xiaomi instead (G10), and it will be ~2-3 times cheaper.
Pros of Xiaomi:
- lock button - no need to keep pressing during the whole vacuuming process
- smart design of the brush - the hair does not get tangled in (I really LOVE this feature)
- you can use the same brush for the carpets and hard floors (in Dyson, you need to use 2 different brushes)
- super easy to empty the dust compartment - just press one button
- easy to disassemble and clean (in Dyson, if you want to clean the brush, you need to use a coin to remove it first - such a brilliant design!)
My boyfriend was using a Dyson previously and he says he would never buy it again! Durability was not great, the battery died just after 2 years and some minor things broke as well.
I use a V11. I especially love the digital screen- shows the amount of run time left on the vacuum so you’re not left guessing. Runs around 50 mins although it’s supposed to last 60. Not too mad about it though, it’s powerful and cordless which is awesome.
Regarding durability, I can't tell much as I bought it recently. G10 is a new model (from 2021 I think) so you won't find many data points online.abbby wrote: ↑Mon, 21 Feb 2022 8:35 amnelyanne
Thats what I had heard about Dyson on its durability my friend's set broke down after a very short while..
For Xiaomi, my neighbour has a set and she says its good but my concern is I had a Xiaomi thermometer before and it broke down really fast.
How's your durability and usage time per charge? Is it heavy?
I have heard pretty good things about the Xiaomi robot vacuum, wondering if you’ve tried it? I’ve been considering getting a robot vac to ease the workload at home - just turn it on before leaving for work and come home to a clean house.MOCHS wrote: ↑Wed, 23 Feb 2022 8:43 amAn anecdote of one or two people isn’t a good sample size. Asking at least 100 users of each brand would then be a good representative of the population.
IMO, the technology and functions across all brands would be the same. You’re just paying more for Dyson’s brand name.
I have a Xiaomi Roidmi stick vacuum for two years now (and counting). It works well, still going strong. Also used a Dyson for work experiments, feels the same to me so I’ll go with Roidmi as it’s cheaper.
Wait a sec, I just did a google search and it looks like its the round robotic one. Did you type the wrong model or do you actually use the robotic one? If the latter, how good of a job does it do? I’ve been considering getting a robo vac but haven’t heard any personal opinions, just general reviews online.nelyanne wrote: ↑Wed, 23 Feb 2022 10:29 amRegarding durability, I can't tell much as I bought it recently.

But I've been using Xiaomi Roborock S55 intensively for almost 3 years (as my only vacuum cleaner), never had any issues. If you need to replace a small part, like the filter, it is cheap and easy to get (go to Xiaomi store or order from Shopee).
Usage time per charge is roughly as advertised.
The weight when using the standard brush is 2.8kg (the total weight you find online will be ~4kg, but that's the weight of all components combined together).
No problem. Are you going with the stick vacuum or the round robot vac?
Only my stick vacuum is from Xiaomi. My robot is from iRobot (Roomba) that I bought during the 11/11 sale in 2019.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Thu, 24 Feb 2022 12:28 amI have heard pretty good things about the Xiaomi robot vacuum, wondering if you’ve tried it?
