I am shopping for my first cordless stick vacuum. Background: I have a Miele canister vac with a HEPA filter and sealed system that I absolutely love, but I want to something that is easier to grab to quickly run over the carpet in my bedroom. I think I’d vacuum much more often if I had this.
I’ve been looking at cordless stick models from Miele and Dyson, mainly, and find the Dyson ones very appealing. But there is a huge problem - almost all the models use the trigger that you have to hold down the entire time you are vacuuming. To avoid this, you have to go to the highest priced models (with the exception of one model with a very small bin).
I personally find this astonishing. I mean, it is 2023, and we can’t have a regular on button without paying $900? I fear that next I will learn that their cheapest models are still using cranks rather than lithium batteries.
Yes, I’ve read that this supposedly saves on battery life because you don’t leave it running while you pause for a minute. Well, it is not that hard to turn the darn thing off it you want to pause - and a lot easier than keeping the trigger constantly depressed!
Using the trigger sounds exhausting and annoying, and I don’t even have hard problems. I guess they’ve just decided that all the people with arthritis etc in their hands should just buy from another company? It’s really the strangest business decision I think I’ve seen. Ive seen tons of reviews complaining about this trigger feature.
So - does anyone know if Dyson has plans to change this feature on its low and mid-range models?
Thanks in advance!
