DC46 Motorhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner

I am thinking in replacing my problem risen Dyson dc46 with a Miele. The cheapest option is with bags, my house is 700 sqft, small but still I will be spending maybe 100$ every year in bags whether filters last longer. Do you have advise in the matter?

Thanks! I bought the Dyson thinking it was money well spent and will last many years with no problems. But in 10 years it has got several problems, I must have spent in the order of 900$ cad in that machine. Now I don't know if to buy a cheap one or to try Miele (my dishwasher is Miele and has being running nonstop for 15 years with zero problems) or what. Right now I am pissed off I have to discard a vacuum for which I have all possible attachments ...

Just get a $50 Kirby at the thrift store. My mom would buy those cheap vacuums and they always just vaguely worked then would blow up for the dumbest reason. I got a G series Kirby at Goodwill for $18, a Royal for $20 and a Dyson DC46 cannister vac for $20- so if you look, you can find a nice vacuum for cheap.

I have a Dyson with the ball design from like 2013, it was around $300-400 and it’s still going strong. My only complaint is it’s big and we now have more hardwood floors where we used to have carpet. It is just bulky but it works really great, it’s been used to clean at least weekly or more than that for all these years.

I purchased the drag along ball model one like 10 years ago for pets. It was like $350 or something, and was a terrible vacuum. It would barely suck up pet hair on a bare floor, pretty much had to drive over the hair, and even that didn’t work sometimes .

I know that’s not how you want to spend your time but just giving some insight. Stick vacuums are also not intended to be the sole vacuum (not sure if you’re using it as such) especially with carpet. I have a Dyson corded: the ball canister that I LOVE and the regular upright yellow one that I love but it’s a little heavy. I’ve also owned the shark rotator vacuum that was good for a while and then I didn’t love and have the cordless shark that I actually really like and is easier to clean. Check Rebel Stork to see if they have mieles for cheaper. They’re returned products so some of them are new and some are used you just have to read the description.

i love my dyson animal. i have the canister, not the upright.

Not cordless, but I've had my Dyson Animal Canister for 15 years and it still works amazing. I'm desperate to go to corded but this thing has been too good... Curious to know if their cordless are the same.
