I bought a Dyson V7, and the battery life even from new is atrocious. On a full charge, unable to cover my very modest London flat, and of course, it cannot be used while charging.

I even fitted a larger aftermarket battery. Still awkward to use. Eventually I gave up, and bought a corded Henry from Numatic.

I cannot recommend a cordless Dyson for anything except light dust busting.

Corded vacum for residential is such a thing of a past, can't believe genuine people fallback to cords over dysons... I use V8 and V11, wonderfull machines. I like V8 more because it light and nimble.
they're not, I have a v11 and it attrocioius. Constantly needs maintenenance for really light loads, plus James Dyson is a shark.
