I would respectfully disagree. We have that Dyson, about the same age. The basic (plastic) engineering is very clever, but I think also made to fail in the long haul, in ways that can't be fixed. That's what has happened to ours over the years: it still sort-of-kind-of functions, but suction is terrible, various clips and mating profiles no longer really engage fully...

Last month, I decided to go all in on a Miele. Time will tell if the incredible expense turns out to be worth it in the long run. It is WAY easier to use in most situations that our Dyson.

My father hid the Dyson vacuum in the trunk of his car when my mother divorced him.

Yes, I’ve fixed my animal vacuum in major ways 3 times and it was very easy to do. The vacuum has been running well for a very long time in vacuum years.
