Post-Purchase Truths

Dyson: What to watch for

Ergonomics
Heavier 7.7 lb weight strains forearms during prolonged use.
The larger motor and internal wand tool add over a pound of top-heavy weight compared to the nimble V12 or V8 models.

LG: What to watch for

Maintenance
Washable filters must air-dry for a full 24 hours before reassembly.
Running the vacuum with a damp filter can damage the suction motor and cause musty odors, requiring an overnight wait or spare filter.
