Thanks for those posts - very helpful. Are they easy to empty?

Where's my B?

I have a Dyson D6. I can vacuum four rooms and the hall and stairs on one charge. It takes about three hours to recharge, so if I do my downstairs rooms in the morning, by the time I've made and cleared up the lunch, it's ready for the upstairs. It's the EST thing I ever bought.

Another vote for the Dyson, we’ve a V6 animal. The charge runs on normal for 40 mins. More than enough time!
I waited till it was on offer at Curry’s! They do offers quite frequently.

I’m happy with my dyson v6 animal. I think the charge lasts about 20 minutes on normal strength, about 8 on extra strength. It’s plenty long enough for me, though nowadays I tend to do downstairs one day and upstairs the next as I have more time, so it’s got chance to recharge again. Having said that, I don’t think it takes too long to charge up again from empty - about 3 hours, I think, but mine never gets to empty. I would recommend it.

I have a Dyson stick and love it. Shorter battery life is when it is on high power. I find I can do most vacuuming on ordinary power and there is enough for our 4 bedroomed house. Plus as merlot says they recharge quickly.
They are also great for car hoovering and quick whizz rounds just before visitors. Or maybe that’s just me? ?

I have a Dyson V6 Fluffy. Best thing I ever bought. It's great for both laminate floors and carpets. We have downsized and don't have a large place so the amount of charged time doesn't worry me. I'm not sure exactly how long it is but I think they all re-charge fairly quickly.

Anyone got one? Any recommendations?

I have been looking these up and am surprised to see that the charge only lasts between 10 and 20 minutes; even the expensive Dyson ones - is this really how it is? Doesn't seem much to me.

All advice gratefully received - many thanks.
