I must have misunderstood then Pets? Check. Kids? Check. Adults? Check ? (Why do we assume adults by themselves wouldn’t need a decent vacuum cleaner?).They are designed so that you can can keep on top of your cleaning by doing a quick 5 minute clean everyday. If you have a hoise with pets and children and you only bother to clean once a week or less then a corded vacuum might be slightly better (and cheaper).
I have only had a Dyson stick vacuum cleaner in the house since the original V6 Animal came out. I’ve only moved up to a V7 and use it a few times a week at the most and do the whole house.
I reckon the 5 minutes a day thing has become an urban myth after the first generation Dyson stick vacuums evolved. As has the idea we need a corded machine taking up cupboard space because some things on the flooring (carpet/rugs/laminate whatever) can’t be vacuumed up with a stick vac but can by a corded. Things like that I find are best dealt with by other traditional methods - dustpan and brush, hands, mop etc.
Anyway it’s all personal preference at the end of the day
