When we cranked it up to its top power setting, the V15 managed to pick up a full 100% of the debris we’d laid out on both types of rugs. Dyson’s lineup has been in a state of flux throughout 2021, and we’re not certain which models will remain consistently available from week to week. Although most models completely clean uncarpeted surfaces after a few passes, not many grab everything on the first or second push. Snowplowing—when big debris, like Cheerios or mulch, gets pushed around by a low-riding cleaning head—is a common problem at every price.
A quick-release system makes it quick and easy to attach and detach tools with the press of a button, so going back and forth from a stick vacuum to a handheld only takes seconds. The dustbin, shark cordless which holds .14 gallons, is simple for users to remove and empty with a release tab on the handle. As we already discussed before, both vacuums can be used on carpets and hard floors.
In our controlled tests, the V8 sucked more sand and baking soda out of more kinds of rugs than other cordless vacuums at this price , including popular sticks from brands like Bissell, Shark, and Tineco. It performed better on its lower-suction, battery-preserving setting than many other vacuums did on their maximum-suction, battery-draining settings. On its Max setting, the V8 even outperformed some models that dyson robot vacuum are significantly more expensive, too. On paper, the Tineco S11 weighs almost as much as the Dyson V8 and a load of other cordless stick vacuums around this price. But the Tineco simply feels lighter than other sticks while you’re using it. We think that’s partly because it has two big wheels on its cleaning head that help distribute the weight a bit, as well as better weight distribution in the main unit .
This usually happens around one to two years after initially buying the vacuum. The new battery is an investment you’ll have to make, but it’s thankfully not an expensive one. Thankfully, in this case, both the Animal and the Absolute are pretty lightweight. The Animal weighs 5.64 lbs, while the Absolute weighs 5.75 lbs.
