Let me tell you the best thing about Dyson vacuums. They’re super popular. Which means there’s an entire industry of compatible spare parts that keep them going forever (or at least until the last bit of plastic crumbles). My Dyson V7 of Theseus still runs like new.

There are fucking adapters for power tools batteries. This is an absolute game changer. Because the stock battery is shit. It’s weak, barely holds enough charge to vacuum my flat’s floors on regular mode or my bed on turbo mode, is way too expensive to replace, and that’s when new. Now I put a fucking massive 5A/h Makita battery and it holds enough charge to vacuum every single surface in my flat several times over on turbo mode. I can have a spare one ready to go if it decides to die. And when it doesn’t hold charge anymore, I’ll just have to bike to the nearest hardware store and finish my cleanup before the morning is over.

My parents have gone through several vacuums from other brands since I bought my V7. Not only are they worse at their only job, as soon as something breaks, they had to buy a new one because there are no spare parts. They always refused to buy a Dyson because they’re too expensive. They’ve probably spent 3x as much as me on vacuums over the last decade and a half.
