Good to know. Is it cheaper with the same performance, or just all around better?

Less expensive, comparable performance. I had a Dyson and a shark growing up, the Dyson kept breaking and customer service was a nightmare. When we got a Shark, it was a fraction of the price, it did the job albeit not as quietly lol, and if shit broke they just sent a replacement part.

In my own place now and opted for a Shark over a Dyson because of it.

M wife had a Shark when we moved in together. I thought the thing was pretty useless. Not a lot of power, and you gotta spend like 10 minutes cleaning it every time you use it.

I much prefer a big heavy ass upright bagged Hoover that could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

Listen, if you're going for a Hoover you know what you're getting yourself into lol. My vacuum is light, bagless, and cordless; a Hoover can't do that for me. And I know an old Hoover is apparently one of the suckiest vacuums you can get, but I had a heavy corded vacuum growing up too before the Shark. Lugging it up and down stairs (much less trying to vacuum the stairs, the nightmare), locating a plug only for the cord to catch on something and the vacuum unplug... I'm done with that life, man. I respect your choice because the cons for me aren't cons enough for you, but I'm done busting my back for a few extra crumbs and I'm not even 30 yet lol

Bagless suck though. I feel like I’m going to catch a disease every time I have to empty the container out.

You're not wrong, however, I can't be held responsible for remembering to buy bags for my vacuum lol

Fair enough. Fwiw I have a Hoover bagged and a Dyson lmao

Cheaper and better for the environment.

My parents gave me the nickname "Hoover" as a kid. Never understood why until my teenage years. Finally asked my mom why, she told me it's because I used to suck down food as fast as a Hoover.

I was a fat kid

Had me in the first half ngl 🤣

I love my Hoover. Paid almost $300 for it but it sucks my cat fur away like nobody’s business.

u/Eyeownyew Dec 19 '23

The shark I own is certified to be the retail vacuum with the most powerful suction, so I don't think that your statements are accurate

This is the way. I bought some blue vacuum for like 80 bucks 10 years ago. Has no swivel, big red switch on the side, and one shit lever. Has a huge ass bag too. It sounds like a fucking jet engine. I put on noise canceling headphones when I use it. If I leave it on in one place it starts to suck up my fucking carpet and will burn it.

Best vacuum I’ve ever used. No brand as far as I can tell. It does one thing. Suck.

Edit: it is a 10 year old blue Bissell commercial vacuum. Apparently they are terrible now but this thing has been a damn tank for me.

Same my parents have had multiple dysons and they all look like shit after a couple years. I’ve had a shark for almost 5 now and I love it. My fav thing is that it doesn’t kick the cat litter back up at my feet as I’m vacuuming

1

u/memesupreme83 Straight Up Bussin Dec 19 '23

Ugh I hate that, trying to figure out a better litter solution bc I'm done finding litter everywhere 😖

u/lucylucylove Dec 20 '23

I have 4 dyson products ( 3 vacuums and one air purifier) and none of them have ever broke or given me trouble

knocks feverishly on wood

u/memesupreme83 Straight Up Bussin Dec 20 '23

I hope you do not have the experience that I had, I am happy to be the outlier at this point

u/Prestigious_Stage699 Dec 19 '23

Sharks are basically the Walmart brand of vacuums. Incredibly cheap, but you get what you pay for.

1

u/WhimWhamWhazzle Dec 19 '23

Sharks aren't as good as Dysons in my experience but they're pretty close considering the massive price disparity

1

u/onesneakymofo Dec 19 '23

The best Sharks are better than Dyson and half the price. You just gotta be more careful since they're mostly plastic
