Question Shark vs Dyson vs ? - Vacuums for your RV?

[Neal]

My 2017 Newmar Ventana has the built in VAC, whatever it's called (central vac?), but I never really used it as I don't like carrying the bulky hose and parts, however, it may be something worth revisiting. I've since been using Dyson, probably PET versions, since I have a dog that rotates her coat daily, uninvited. I haven't been thrilled with the Dyson and it's obviously over priced due to the Dyson marketing hype, I presume. Shark has been mentioned and come to my attention and their marketing even solves the problems I experience of pushing stuff vs vacuuming it up.

I'm curious of the opinions on compact/stick vacuums for RV's and what the favorite is these days.

We pitched our Dyson for a Shark stick a couple years ago, much happier, we have a German shedder. Daily vacuuming

We have a Dyson stick in the RV and in the house. Love them.

We had a portable shark in the RV and were very happy with it.

Have a two Dyson & a Shark Stick for the house, three story floors. But the central vac in the coach is just as powerful and good. I keep the hose hook up and a few nozzles in the bottom of the bed drawer. Smaller storage than a stick vacuum in the closet. Plus the central vac has a sweep pick up. You just sweep all the dog hair and loose dirt in front of the vacuum grate and hit the switch and it sucks it up without the hose hook up. This may be a newer option for central vacs.

My central vac has the sweep pickup in the half bath. I should probably try it out again next trip and see how it works for me.

Another vote for the central vac. I’ve carried stick vacs before and like the central vac the best.

I ordered this coach without the central vac as I have a Dyson for the rv and one for the house. I can be done using the dyson before I could even get the central vac hose untangled and connected. Same with the "dustpan" chute. Just moving dirt, I can Dyson faster then I can sweep
