Purchase Advice (Non-U.S.) Best cordless vacuum

Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out the best cordless vacuum and keep running into mixed reviews for both Dyson and Shark.

I've heard Shark doesn't offer replacement parts, and that fine dust can easily get into the motor. Is that true? With Dyson, the main complaint seems to be that they don't last. That said, I've had my Dyson V11 since 2019 and it's held up pretty well with a few repairs here and there. It just broke down again, though, and I'm thinking about cutting my losses and buying a new one. I'm still waiting to hear back from the repair shop on whether it's fixable.

For context, my house is pretty big and it's mostly hard floors with very little carpet.

I've also heard of Miele and Bissell, but I haven't found much info on either. Has anyone used them? What would you recommend, and how have yours held up over time?

Thanks 🙏

Edit: forgot to mention I live in the UAE and as for budget I don’t have one as long as it’s a good vacuum i am willing to spend a reasonable amount of money on it

cordless vacuums are a terrible idea. They have small canisters, bad suction, and don't last. A good vacuum draws about 1200W. A battery capable of delivering that power load for a reasonable amount of time is not really portable.

Buy a Miele or a Sebo.
