Want to get a new stick vac to replace my 5 years old Dyson V8, already replaced battery and motor once each and its dying again (battery not holding much charge and motor losing suction power).
Based on the Internet, V8 has 115 AW suction power, so am thinking to get something at least comparable to that.
Also, need motor head attachments, one for floor, an a mini one for bed.
Price is below $400.
First come to mind is Samsung Jet 60 ($310). Any other choices? Thank you
Thanks. The thing with Xiaomi models is that they are too many and very confusing. Mi, Dreame, Roidmi, Mijia, …
I have a Dyson and a bagged Miele in the home, although the Dyson is convenient it doesn't really compare to a good regular vacuum. The Meile has power to spare but the Dyson feels a bit like a toddler toy in comparison. I guess if you're lazy then cleaning regularly with the Dyson is better than not bothering to use a regular vacuum at all.
No joke, stick vacs are just for quick job and be done regularly.
BOSCH Cordless $368 - An excellent vacuum. Was Choice rated and recommended for years.

Wow, 60mins runtime, nice suggestion. However its lack of attachments is a drawback.
Yep does seem to be an advantage so far. It’s also pretty quiet. I Like that battery can be replaced.
Edit - only some Bosch models have replaceable batteries.
Thanks for the suggestion. But I really need that mini motor head for bed. Very sad this doesn't come with one.
Dyson V7 Advanced Origin Stick Vacuum $449. $50 over your limit. But still very decent cordless Vac.
Also fact that spare batteries can be found 2-4 years from now means that long term will be much better buy.
One the Chinese vacs very hard to impossible to find spare batteries so you have to throw the whole thing out and fork out for whole new vacuum and another $200-$400

Yeah always the battery issue with cordless vacs. I have been using V8 so kinda pointless to go backward to V7
I got one of these yesterday for $89, sold out now

No worries, still let us know if its any good
Will do
It came today - woo hoo
The 1st thing I notice is it is light! Is that good or bad? It is up to the owner to decide
I open her up & she looks good at 1st glance
I take out that main part & the charger so as to charge it to 100%. I accidently hit the trigger & up she starts. I play with the LED speed controls for a little while. I did notice when it was on 'AUTO' & I blocked the opening, it made no change to its speed!
After she hit 100%, it is time to try her out. I already did most of the house a few hors before this VAC arrived; but I did not do the bedroom. I did around the bed on high; which I find is the best for carpet. It seemed to work OK as it left tracks in the carpet, so you know it has been vaccumed. I forgot to mention that the head for this thing has 4 LED's in it, so you can see see where you are going. The head swivels real easy, too easy for me; I will fix it by strangling it with tape or wire. The brushes in the head move very well with the speed of the suction. I have really long hair & my main vaccum gets clagged all the time by the hair, I only found 1 strand when I finished doing the bedroom!
After I did the floor, I thought I would do the doona cover as my stupid cat is molting like anything. I tried AUTO, not good enough, I had to try high again to get rid of the hair; my cat has medium length hair & I did not know it was that much on the doona cover
I used about 40% power doing the whole bedroom on high, which is OK. You can buy extra batteries for this thing & extra filters. Plus you can buy a stand for it as well, if you don't want to hang it on a wall or the side of a cupboard. I found one for $18 delivered from KG Electronics. But a day later they cancelled the deal without telling me & they won't answer my emails; so stuff them, there are others at that price, just search 'MX11 stand'
I emptied the thing & it was 1 button to push to open the door. It is a bit more if you want to take dust off the steel filter; I then taped the paper filter when I took that out & it had heaps of fine dust in her, I thought my Meile CX1 was meant to keep the house clean; but it was 2 weeks since a vaccum thou :p They say you are meant to wash the paper filter then let it dry before using it again, but I don't like washing paper for some reason; I have an air compressor in the shed, so when I finish vaccuming, I strip it down & empty the dust then blow the whole thing clean
I bought the VAC for $89, the 3 extra filters for $20 & I paid $15 for the extra 3 years cover; so that is 4 years cover, so for $124 I have a stick VAC for 4 years you could say & it seems to suck good. I won't stay at that $89, it was a promo as this is a new object, it should go up to $299; I don't know if it has or not, if it hasn't grab 1 (or more for Xmas pressies)
Sounds like you are quite happy with it, I am amazed it works even better than your Miele, what a steal! Early Christmas for you!
Thanks for sharing! I ended up getting the Samsung Jet 60 and the clean station ($100 promotion now) by the way.
@justwii: Where?
But I have the Meile & this new stick VAC; I forgot I got a wet & dry VAC as well, which I have yet to use
@the Unforgiven: Just on the official website https://www.samsung.com/au/vacuum-cleaners/all-vacuum-cleane…
@justwii: Thanks for that. But if I read it right, it cost you all up, $599 for a stick VAC
I am just getting into them, I am old fashion with the Meile CX1 cat & dog,
but that thing is a shit to lug around.
I hope you enjoy your Samsung stick VAC
never had a Dyson to compare it to but the Xiaomi G10 has been fantastic, rarely get out the big ol' bagged miele anymore.
I have pretty lightweight carpet though, so it's never had a real run for its money, but battery life and suction power have always seemed good (it's 150AW for what it's worth).
I've seen complaints about battery life but mine is still going strong after more than 12 months. Worried about finding a replacement though when the time comes as they seem hard to find online. Probably best off with whatever the latest version is (I see there's a G11, plus a pile of Dreame models)
