I own a bagged, corded Miele and a bagless, cordless Bosch Series 6.
There is no comparison. The Bosch is handy for a quick, sloppy cleanup, but its motorized brush makes a mess on wood floors.
Well, I've just tried:
- Bosch 18V (green not blue).
- Karcher vacuum cvh3.
- Nilfisk VU200.
The first two were useless; the VU200 is still a bit useless TBH, but at least it gets dust. Not leaves though. My next tries were going to be a Bosch Ultimate 10/Miele HX/Dyson v12, or a Metabo 18V (I already have their batteries), or a 18V blue Bosch.
An extension cord is frankly probably the best.
Go to reviews of stick vacuums, find the most reputable brand with the best battery life, most suction power, largest dirt holder and try find one with a detachable hand held option as well, but make sure it's in your price range.
I ended up with a Bosch and it's great, will get another Bosch if this ever dies, 5 years strong.
Bought a Bosch one. The first one we got was a dud, the main switch failed after a week. Got a replacement and it's been great, I don't think we've used a larger vacuum cleaner since then.
