Best advice I can give is the HYLA. Cleans the air and all surfaces. Best investment I have made for my home.
Kenmore canisters for carpet are very good. For hard floors, they’re awful. Obsolete. Deal breakers. Etc. Why not buy a refurbished Miele or Sebo, or if you have wall to wall carpet in most of your home and rarely use attachments, definitely go for a Kirby, or a Rainbow if you have a mix. Goodvac dot com for Kirby parts, Rainvac dot com for Rainbow parts. Miele parts and Sebo parts are easily accessible. Hyla parts are not, in contrast, but they too last a long time. I think they’re easier to use than the Rainbow but they don’t clean carpet very well at all. Kirby is about the best you can get for carpet.
Well there is Filter Queen, Aerus Electrolux, Rainbow E2 series not the SRX, Kirby and Hyla. All those vacs last your whole life. The Rainbow and Hyla are water vacuums and Rainbow takes a Hepa in the back, Hyla on the other hand has made a separator that is so good you dont need a hepa in the rear. So you never buy filters in parts. I own one if each of these and have seen them last way up there in years. But honestly I love all these vacs. There amazing in there own way.
