I just replaced an old Dyson V7 with a Miele HX1 and amazing happy with that. It has three speeds and auto adjusts for floor type on 2 and 3. I dod t bother with the more expensive versions - all they add is batteries, per head or a seperate charger as they go up in price. The machine is identical. I’ve never had an issue with 20-30 minutes form the Dysons so this one is doing fine with one battery.

Just noticed you do t have the “runner” model we have over here. You have the one with one battery like I have, then the pet one that adds the pet head, then the one with a second battery and a second charger. We have those at the same equivalent price differences plus one at the same cost as the pet one with a second battery (no additional charger) instead of the pet head.
you can buy the batteries I suppose so they seem to have not bothered with that mode there.
Anyway we have cats and it seems fine with the head and simple tools provided. YMMV
They say it is as powerful as a corded (I think they reference their own C2 or C3...) - it is certainly way better than the V7. Much cheaper than the V11 and the OH and I decided to give another brand a go. I’ve had a Dyson stick vac since that first one.
much smaller bin than I was expecting - 0.5L compared to a V7 at 0.54L and the V11 is I think 0.75L. Outsize V11 is of course nearly 2L but that was simply too big and heavy IMHO. We vacuum frequently rather than letting it build up and the bin is fine. Not as “clean” to empty as the latest Dysons but again it is fine.
mot sucks ul bigger boys like cat litter, hair clips etc which the V7 wouldn’t. There is no daft plastic bar across the home at the back of the power head like there was on the V7 to jam with fluff!
I’m not a Miele fanboi by any stretch - first Miele thing I have bought for myself. Seemed to be the first Miele thing that offered value for money to ok me.
im happy with it - sure the V11 had snazzy displays etc. but I couldn’t justify the price.
