Iv had an old cordless Dyson, but it’s only picking up for no more than 2 mins, the latch on the dirt collector keeps falling open, it’s not picking up all the time stuff falls out as it’s picking up, it needs bining really. I don’t know wether to get a new updated one again or try the Shark, I do need one that’s lightweight and picks up long hair, heavy soiling, but can’t be doing with corded. Wish I knew friends that have both for me to try out myself first Lol xx
