I’ll skip the guilt trip over how long it’s been since you last cleaned your Dyson stick vacuum — not just emptying the dust bin, but actually cleaned it.
Admittedly, unless you’re a loud and proud over-cleaner, it’s an annoying, dirty job that often gets the old “that’s a problem for future me” treatment. But you’d probably be more motivated if you remembered that keeping up with maintenance is the best way to make an appliance last longer. A cordless Dyson vacuum may not make an appearance in the r/buyitforlife subreddit, but Dyson itself says that a cordless stick vacuum can last up to five years, depending on how well you take care of it.
I’m currently on year three with my Dyson V12 Detect Slim with zero functional problems (just some chipped paint).
