I do not recommend the eureka power speed. It does not have a legitimate filtration system and will blow dust right back into the air. Shark isn’t the most recommended machine on this market but some are far better than others. The Navigator Lift-Away NV350 series or NV360 (Walmart) are actually decent cleaners inexpensive if maintained properly. There’s a few things to keep an eye on and they can last quite a long time. 1. Keep the lint screen in the dust bin clean. Hair can sometimes wrap around it. It’s easy to access through the top of the bin. 2. Keep the brush roll free of hair. There is a built-in groove that allows you to easily cut hair. 3. Filters. Purchase a jumbo pack online for $20. Wash the foam and felt pre-motor filters once a month and just replace them every 3. Do not wash the post motor HEPA filter, and replace every 6 month I’ve found these to work well on carpet and hard floor. There is a suction reducing valve on the hose handle that makes it work well on tricky rugs. The Kenmore Intuition upright is another great inexpensive choice. It’s bagged and eliminates the hassle of constant bagless maintenance. Also look at a Kenmore 200 or 400 series canister. Canisters are better for lots of different floor surfaces. You can get a Kenmore pet powermate mini power nozzle that fits the 200 / 400 for extra tough stuff and the fitting it uses is generic so lots of attachments will work with it. I think this is probably going to be your best bet. The 400 series goes on sale online for $220 if you can stretch
r/VacuumCleaners • Lost in the Vacuum Aisle ->There’s lots of great bagged straight suction canisters where you can add a turbo brush - Wessel Werk TK286 is the best turbo nozzle out there. Simplicity Jill with that optional turbo will work great. If you want a power nozzle, I’d suggest going with a Kenmore 400 series, not 600. The 400 has a more solid attachment system and is a standard 1 1/4” or 32mm fitting. You can get a Kenmore powermate mini motorized brush roll tool if that’s needed.
r/VacuumCleaners • First quality vacuum for $250 on hardwood and area rugs!? Kids and pets. ->There is no such thing as a “self cleaning brushroll” without compromising something. Hair still wraps in the bearings and that’s where the damage really happens. Most self cleaning brushrolls compromise on deep cleaning. The best brushroll for hair wrap is the SEBO cassette design With the variety of flooring and needs, I’m thinking a Kenmore 200 or 400 series might be your best bet. Bagged vacuums have more airflow, lower maintenance, better filtration, etc. pet hair compacts in the bags. With so many different needs, I think this might be the best bet for $200. The difference between the 200 and 400 are an adjustable wand, the power switch is on the handle, adjustable suction, and better filtration.
r/VacuumCleaners • Why such high vacuum requirements but want to pay under $150-$200 USD? ->Kenmore is your best bet. I’m not a fan of the 200 series (although it cleans well) it’s very compromised (short cord and hose). Look at the 400 series or 600 series if you can catch it on a sale. Or a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 if you like uprights.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum <$200 (Cordless or cord, hopefully good on carpet) ->Yep you’re on the right track. If you can get the carpet out first, you could do a simplicity Jill (it’s better built than the mighty mite) neither of these will do carpet well. Or if not grab a Kenmore 200/400 series.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendation ->What I was just going to suggest. It's a huge part of the reason I love them.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum where you easily switch attachments and modes? ->I always recommend the 400 over the 600. The parts are all the same from the older kenmores so it makes finding parts way easier if ever need be. That said the 600 should still have the spot on the back of the canister where you can hang / dock the power head for storage with the hose and wand attached.
r/VacuumCleaners • Disappointed in the Kenmore 600 Canister Vac a year after purchase ->i've explored r/VacuumCleaners a lot for this exact reason and the bare minimum for carpet is the kenmore 400 canister vacuum. you might be able to get away with the kenmore bu4050 upright for low pile, but i can't guarantee you're ever going to actually get any carpet clean without the power head. if you can go a little further than the kenmore, i strongly recommend a henry!
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->Ignore the purple one from walmart, its the same price as the orange one on amazon, but comes with fewer and worse small attachments. It's not a good deal. The main difference between the two on Amazon is the blue one has a variable suction adjustment built into the handle. This let's you lower the suction motor down, for cleaning throw rugs, dusting drapes, etc. Or allows it to vacuum really dense rugs. Really underrated feature imo. The orange one on Amazon is mostly the same minus the suction adjustment. Personally I'd get the blue one off Amazon but if you don't think the suction adjustment would be useful, the orange one is fine.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which vacuum cleaner, what’s the difference? ->Ah sorry, the purple one on Amazon is the 600 series. It's a bit larger and more capable, with more attachments than the 200. It sort of goes like this, 200 orange is most basic, then the 200 series blue, then the purple 600, then the silver top of the line one. What kinds of floors are you looking to clean? This will determine how much a miele or sebo would run you for your situation.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which vacuum cleaner, what’s the difference? ->First of all, your dog is so cute. This [Kenmore Intuition](https://a.co/d/iQJvWFv) would work well. This [Kenmore Canister](https://a.co/d/90JfCNM) would do well, too. It cleans carpets, it has attachments, and it’s under budget. These two vacuums are for cleaning carpets only (no attachments) but they’re under budget and would work well. [Oreck XL](https://a.co/d/9aA1IX6) [Kaercher Ranger](https://www.kaercher.com/us/commercial/vacuum-cleaners/upright/ranger-10129000.html) Between those two, I would choose the Kaercher because the brushroll pops out easily to clean it. Just noting that a difference between bagged and bagless vacuums is that bagless vacuums volumize dirt and debris, so you have to empty the bin after every clean. A bagged vacuum compacts the dirty and hair so you don’t need to change the bags until after a few months, most likely.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendation for lots of pet hair and carpets. ->400 series is a slightly better version of the 200, I think the main upgrades are controls on the handle vs on the canister and a longer cord. If you can move up to the 600 though I’d highly recommend it. Longer hose, better hard floor tool, and mini power brush which is really useful if you have carpeted stairs. I used a 400 for a while and eventually sold it and bought a 600. They’re both good machines though
r/VacuumCleaners • Standard vacuum recommendations? ->Kenmore Intuition or 400-series seems like a good fit!
r/VacuumCleaners • I am feeling so overwhelmed trying to find a vacuum, help please. ->Kenmore 400-series canister is what I'd recommend.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendation for lots of pet hair and carpets. ->Kenmore 400-series, I'd say, but I like canisters better.
r/VacuumCleaners • Affordable bagged corded vacuums that would be good for pets? ->Best you can get is probably the Lindhaus HF6, but it's rather expensive. For cheaper, the Kenmore 400-series.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for cat hair? ->If you want to deep clean, cordless ain’t it. Bagged is going to be better for allergies since the bag acts as a very effective filter. Also, doesn’t require you to empty it constantly or have clean the machine itself like you do with cordless, which just stirs all those allergens back up. Bagged is just more hygienic. A canister style machine will give you the most versatility and ability to get into tighter spots. Within your budget? Look at the Kenmore 600 or 400 series.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendation for ONLY CARPET with pets under 500$ ->If you can stretch the budget to the Kenmore you linked this [Kenmore 400 Series](https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/kenmore-400-series-hepa-multi-surface-bagged-corded-canister-vacuum-14-in-14a-0439474p.html?rq=canister+vacuums) $299 CAD it's definitely worth it over the other 2 vacuums. The bagged vacuum will last longer and be much cleaner to empty, you only need to change the bag once every 2-3 months. The powerhead will clean your rugs better and it has height adjustment so it might be able to work on the shag with the brushroll on, if it gets caught just use it with the brushroll off. The 200 Series and 400 Series are closely related with the 400 Series coming with a covered powerhead cable, slightly longer cord, and sometimes suction control. The Kenmore you linked is an orange 400 Series, while in the U.S. most of the orange canisters are only 200 Series.
r/VacuumCleaners • Budget Canister Vacuum Recommendations ->2 vacuums is a great idea, I really like the convenience of a cordless but I don't depend on it to deep clean. I think I'd still look at the Kenmore Intuition and Kenmore Crossover DU3017 since you'll still need to carry the vacuum up and down stairs. The Kenmore Elites like this [Kenmore 31140](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Allergy-Friendly-Upright-Cleaner/dp/B075GFLQ7K/ref=sr_1_19?crid=12XI3N9O2MBNU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sV5rPxipSet8mTSNQOC2CKZjVUwBwndeLjZYV7OlenT1G5TjnIoTY86L60s2xwujOfLQVxtKW8mvL7fqqWDuU0OxsMALT5P9LSR7Kj7TwLI_xF8uZSlk2hydvoNUlP7aLH0iEniaLXSkRuws4rExcD_yK9wMqqXJEOhYbLNspWoK7M-v7eGUv8mxSsaqklzPyUsHXuYaibfZtGAMkuNqM2MBGHL0rYsvqh82yax9rWY.PGjlYfDsV8vbDmRQaRD2Cqz6il-_H_-hJNRKs_D3muM&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore%2Bvacuum&qid=1731797606&sprefix=kenmore%2Bvacuu%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-19&ufe=INHOUSE_INSTALLMENTS%3AUS_IHI_5M_HARDLINES&th=1) $223 is a better vacuum than the Intuition and Crossover but it's much heavier and it might discourage people from lugging it out and actually using it. If you are open to a canister the Kenmore 400 Series is good like this [Kenmore BC3005](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Friendly-Lightweight-Telescoping-Retractable/dp/B08M36B5JZ/ref=sr_1_6?crid=12XI3N9O2MBNU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sV5rPxipSet8mTSNQOC2CKZjVUwBwndeLjZYV7OlenT1G5TjnIoTY86L60s2xwujOfLQVxtKW8mvL7fqqWDuU0OxsMALT5P9LSR7Kj7TwLI_xF8uZSlk2hydvoNUlP7aLH0iEniaLXSkRuws4rExcD_yK9wMqqXJEOhYbLNspWoK7M-v7eGUv8mxSsaqklzPyUsHXuYaibfZtGAMkuNqM2MBGHL0rYsvqh82yax9rWY.PGjlYfDsV8vbDmRQaRD2Cqz6il-_H_-hJNRKs_D3muM&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore%2Bvacuum&qid=1731797606&sprefix=kenmore%2Bvacuu%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-6&ufe=INHOUSE_INSTALLMENTS%3AUS_IHI_5M_HARDLINES&th=1) $264 is a good option too. It's up to you on how you want to balance better performance/durability and weight/ease of use. A vacuum that's used more often cleans more than a vacuum that's never used. It's kinda funny but Kenmore really dominates all the bagged options at this price range.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Budget to Mid-Level Price Range Vacuum ->Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot usually don't have any quality vacuums in-store. I think it's well worth waiting a few days for a much better vacuum to be delivered. Around $300 I'd choose the [Kenmore BC3005/400 Series Canister](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Friendly-Lightweight-Telescoping-Retractable/dp/B08M36B5JZ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1LIN73WN60Q7U&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8ewF-JMcxGUJ0_bJKD7ZQawRw6pGpO5OqeApeQnrzJVixousGI7XFMmJYWgqPSMdOfLQVxtKW8mvL7fqqWDuU0OxsMALT5P9LSR7Kj7TwLJ6y02PCX-1rOub2dkSuAFrWKxtyNqwBnMBkLHpNHeS74DFEgjiTjwmJtv6tLH5Z9cIKfVJcD6kkFBUVjukEGxJCgp01yAPyB3iAnMIc-p48IZiKIYck6Fy_2yxe3qOtt0.oaUnR4UjlFHOP9LBRtFDoHqx5BK8KC8OrxgAOOr-MgI&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore%2Bvacuum&qid=1739653359&sprefix=kenmore%2Bvacuum%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.5998aa40-ec6f-4947-a68f-cd087fee0848&th=1) $248 or the [Kenmore Elite Upright](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Allergy-Friendly-Beltless-Upright/dp/B075DZY7FR/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1LIN73WN60Q7U&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8ewF-JMcxGUJ0_bJKD7ZQawRw6pGpO5OqeApeQnrzJVixousGI7XFMmJYWgqPSMdOfLQVxtKW8mvL7fqqWDuU0OxsMALT5P9LSR7Kj7TwLJ6y02PCX-1rOub2dkSuAFrWKxtyNqwBnMBkLHpNHeS74DFEgjiTjwmJtv6tLH5Z9cIKfVJcD6kkFBUVjukEGxJCgp01yAPyB3iAnMIc-p48IZiKIYck6Fy_2yxe3qOtt0.oaUnR4UjlFHOP9LBRtFDoHqx5BK8KC8OrxgAOOr-MgI&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore%2Bvacuum&qid=1739653359&sprefix=kenmore%2Bvacuum%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-9&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.5998aa40-ec6f-4947-a68f-cd087fee0848&th=1) $279. Both have carpet height adjustment and brushroll shutoff so they can do both hard floors and carpets and rugs. The Kenmore BC3005 has a longer flexible hose and will have a very lightweight hard floor brush, but some people dislike how canisters move. The Kenmore Elite is a very good carpet cleaner and it's not too heavy to push, but it's very heavy to lift up. Kenmore makes affordable bagged vacuums that should last around 5+ years. If you want a BIFL vacuum I'd check out the [Sebo Dart](https://sebo.us/product/dart) MSRP $599 (usually on sale $549). The Sebo Dart is a very well built vacuum. It's powerful and quieter than the average vacuum. But it's top heavy and the hose is short.
r/VacuumCleaners • Quality vacuum I can pick up in person? ->Omg I just realized I was thinking about the Prolux Phantom upright and you are probably talking about the Prolux Phantom canister. It used to be called the Prolux Terravac canister. Ok so my first comment was about how I'm unipressed by the Prolux Phantom Upright. The Prolux Phantom canister vacuum is a bit more favorable. I like the choice of powerheads, the full size hard floor brush, the hepa bags, and the hepa filter. I've seen the Phantom Canister Deep Cleaning Pet for $299. If you have high pile or plush carpets the Phantom Canister Deluxe Carpet $399 has carpet height adjustment. Overall these are small canisters with good carpet powerheads. Downside is a short hose but the hose is really not bad for the price range. The Kenmore 400 Series or BC3005 $225 should be the minimum for Kenmore canisters. The 200 Series has a clip on cord on the wand, a shorter cord, and no suction control. Downsides are Kenmore 400 Series and most of Kenmore's canisters powerhead turn but there's no steering control, the hard floor brush is small and narrow, and the bags don't have a rubber gasket to create a good seal. Kenmores are very capable at cleaning carpets and a very good value but I like the Prolux canisters a little better.
r/VacuumCleaners • Prolux phantom ->My Miele C1 Cat and Dog and Kenmore 400/600 canisters do well on shag, they both have hight adjusters on the head that you click up to the highest setting with your foot. (Sebos also have this adjustability, you just have to bend over and twist a nob, which I prefer less in my house with tons of various pile rugs.) Turn the canister on low suction and have at it, carefully pulling the head back towards you, no back and forth here. Work it strips, pulling towards you. If it still bogs the brush roll, I’d use a non-spinning attachment and thoroughly clean it like you’re brushing it. The Kenmore 600 comes with a Pet Powermate, a small electric powered brush handheld attachment that also might work well here. It’s the only small electro brush I know of. I think it would also work if the bigger floor power heads still bogged. At the end of the day: be sure to follow the rug manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. Some will still say no brush.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recs for a vacuum you’ve actually used on VERY thick 3”shag rug 🙏🏼 ->The [Kenmore 400](https://www.ebay.com/itm/133683335066?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kybo-n08r2-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ihh0miwltii&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) or [600](https://www.ebay.com/itm/133669226311?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kybo-n08r2-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ihh0miwltii&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) would fit this criteria. The 400 is a steal this week at 207.99, but the 600 comes with a mini motorized brush that’s really good for pet hair/couches etc. Both have HEPA final filters and genuine Kenmore HEPA bags are very cheap. I linked to Kenmore’s own eBay store because it’s cheaper than Amazon this week.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best affordable bagged vacuum ->For you, I’d actually rec the [Kenmore 600](https://www.ebay.com/itm/133669226311?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kybo-n08r2-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ihh0miwltii&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)! It’s similar to the 400 but comes with extra tools like a mini motorized brush for pet hair. (Also linked you to their eBay which was $240 earlier this week, looks like it’s back at $299 but you get an extra year of warranty vs Amazon.) The Amazon reviews are all over the board, but I also dislike how Amazon merged reviews of a million different old and new models under the listing. My takeaway as an owner of a 400: as long as you don’t abuse it, vacuum up wet or large objects, yank it viciously, carry the heavy canister base it by the hose, or regularly smash/drop it hard into things 24/7, you’ll be fine. Take care of it and it’ll be fine.
r/VacuumCleaners • First quality vacuum for $250 on hardwood and area rugs!? Kids and pets. ->The Kenmore 400 is a solid model.
r/VacuumCleaners • Budget Canister Vacuum Recommendations ->Kenmores may be available in some Kohls. They aren’t BIFL, however they ARE going to last for awhile (treat it nicely). Kenmore 400/600 series.
r/VacuumCleaners • Quality vacuum I can pick up in person? ->Check out Kenmore 400/600 canister series, those will be great for wall to wall carpet and all the stairs.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for a two cat household ->Lol, well the difference is you’ll use the warranty on the Bissell you won’t need to on the Kenmore. It’s a superior machine in all aspects. Numbers are only numbers. If you want a machine that will perform for the first couple months then deteriorate quickly go for the Bissell with the 5 year warranty. If you want a machine that will last and the performance won’t change go Kenmore.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for a two cat household ->Go for the Bissell. FAFO, friend.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for a two cat household ->Many brands have short warranties, that have nothing to do with reliability and build quality. That said, many brands offer a longer warranty to get you to buy them over better built machines. Think cars: Hyundai/Kia offer the longest warranties out there, yet they’re some of the least reliable cars with poor build quality. Meanwhile, Toyota/Lexus (and most other Japanese brands) offer 3 to 5 year warranties and are extremely reliable. Miele and Sebo are German made, much higher priced. Great machines and usually lighter. Kenmore is solid built, a bit heavier and that shows in a lower price. You’re getting a great vacuum for the price. I’m just trying to work with your budget. If you were pushing $1200 budget, I’d say go with a Sebo K3 Premium or Miele C3 Kona. You choose. Miele also doesn’t offer long warranties yet I’ve got 5 family members with Mieles that are 3 to 20 years old, no issues or complaints. Warranty? Irrelevant. Sebo owners will likely never utilize the warranty either. They’re well built in the first place.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for a two cat household ->Just don't by a stick one - useless. Get either an upright or a canister corded one - maximum real suction power. I have 2 canister corded vacuums, Kenmore and Panasonic, one for each floor level of our home. Work perfect for hardwood and carpeted.
r/VacuumCleaners • Why is it so hard to come to a consensus about the best vacuum cleaners? ->Just get a regular canister Kenmore or Panasonic vacuum. All those stick and battery vacuums are gimmicks. $300-$500 dollars, will last you forever. Maximum suction, 30' retracting cord, HEPA bag - hose arm and head will go under furniture. I have 2 story home with hardwood and cat. Amazing how much dander a single cat can generate in a day. I vacuum every couple days when I see that thin layer on the floor. Cat's 7 years old, vacuum is 22 years old.
r/VacuumCleaners • Can you help me find a vacuum cleaner that’s moderately affordable? ->I have a Kenmore canister and the Panasonic equivalent both for 25+ years running fine. Nothing has every broken so parts are no concern. Just replaced the filters every 10 years or when my brain reminds me :D.
r/VacuumCleaners • I cannot afford a SEBO ->Kenmore canister-- affordable and a BEAST
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->A canister with hepa filtration, long hose, and all of the attachments. My parents had a kenmore canister that was great for many years.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which vacuum cleaner for professional residential cleaning u.k? ->Just realized she had carpet. My bad, the shopvacs don't have a roller brush, so that probably won't work. Maybe consider a Kenmore canister vac from the recommended list on the automod. I unclog a lot of different vacuums but not many kenmores. Slightly larger hose diameter, plus a ton of suction and a straighter airpath than an upright vac lessen the likelihood of a blockage. They should also be well within budget
r/VacuumCleaners • Non clogging vacuum advice! ->We have a shark at work that my boss is obsessed with even though it can’t clean for crap…. To show her I brought in my old Kenmore canister and filled the bag full in one pass of our building. I’ve tried all of them and a nice garage sale or curb side Kenmore canister has always been the best bang for the buck 😂
r/VacuumCleaners • My local Walmart vacuum section ->I have a Kenmore canister from Amazon! On sale it was 450 Canadian
r/housekeeping • Need your best vacuum recommendations ->You might like a Kenmore canister vac, the power head is super light and they have wands so you can reach places more easily. Also changing the bag is really easy, and you are only moving the hose around not the weight of the whole machine. Figuring out where to place the canister might be tricky, probably beside your chair on dominant side is best, and you can pull it behind you through doorways. The newer models, the handle is a loop, so you don't have to grip it all that well to use it, and they are strong and quiet. My grandma used a wheelchair a lot in her older years because she fell so frequently, and she had one. Worked pretty good for her because with the hose she could sweep a pretty good sized area without navigating the chair too much. She would stick the canister under the chair and put her foot on it so as she moved the chair, it moved with her. They go under tables and stuff really easily too, and you can actually stick your foot in that loop handle to get under low beds and furniture so you don't have to bend and risk tipping the chair.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for a wheelchair user ->You're welcome! They're not really all that expensive, and I think you would really like it. They used to come with separate hard floor brushes which are really nice for pet hair/food/accidental broken glass, etc. I haven't seen one in a store for years, but when we had a sears/Kmart in my town people bought those ALL the time. My mom still has her original one, from 1982 😂. It's absolutely had a hard life and seen better days, it's delegated to their finished basement these days, but surprisingly it still works pretty damn good!
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for a wheelchair user ->Least favorite: Bissell uprights. Every one I've ever used, the end caps for the brush roll has melted. I also find the suction power really lackluster and feel like they scatter more dirt and dust than they actually collect. Rainbow - gigantic pain to use, too high maintenance, and the water is gross AF and messy to deal with Cordless sticks - not powerful enough for my liking, multiple passes to pick everything up and they die too fast. Favorite: Windsor Versamatic, Old school style Electrolux and Kenmore canisters, old school style Hoover uprights, Windsor XP-12. Just good, sturdy, effective machines.
r/VacuumCleaners • Favorite and least favorite vacuum cleaners ->I bought a $25 used kenmore canister vac, then disassembled and meticulously cleaned it cause I was overwhelmed with the idea of spending a grand on one of a dozen different options. I’m very happy with my purchase, and like hyperfocusing on projects like that.
r/VacuumCleaners • I am feeling so overwhelmed trying to find a vacuum, help please. ->A Kenmore canister would easily fall under your budget and have a lot of the ergonomic features you need, like lightweight, cord reel, foot pedals, and fingertip controls. Tbh any canister these days have foot pedals and cord rewinds. I'm a Miele fan, but sebos are a better value. If you can get the Sebo k3 from a dealer (usually for under $700) that would be your best bet. You'd use your dominant hand to maneuver the floor head while using your non dominant to pull at the hose to reposition the canister as you go. If you don't have two hands at your disposal pulling the canister and working in sections while surrounding the canister also works. Bonus points if your place is the perfect size for the canister to use only one plug centrally. These canisters tend to have less weight in hand than even stick models (other than the upright style stick models). These canisters will also last 20 years, with each bag filling up every 3-9 months depending on if you have pets and how many people you have at home. Bagless vacuums require deep cleaning and filter maintenance that will aggravate allergies with the aerosolization of fine dust. with bagged models, you simply toss and replace the bag every few months, and replace the filter every 4ish bags (which works out to 2-3 years for a smaller home/family). Sure it's a disposable, but they're made from recycled fibers already and it's a better prospect than buying a subpar machine every few years. It is also just more hygienic. And are the only option for folks with the worst allergies. Sebos work excellently and have good filtration, however Mieles, with their HEPA filter do filter slightly better and function better and more quietly, however they are more expensive. Any Miele with the parquet twister floor tool and seb217 would be right for you. I recommend buying it from a dealer as you can mix and match the floor heads. From a dealer you can get the c3 Kona with the seb217 (instead of the 228 bc it's lighter) for under $850 on sale, and there are sales. You might be able to get the c1 homecare model for cheaper, so ask about that. The cat & dog model is cheaper but you'll want the HEPA filter. Also Miele bags & filters are cheaper than sebos, even if youre using Miele HEPA with the full size machines. Sebo parts are only sold by dealers and they're very expenny. The Miele allergy pack is 8 bags and a heap filter for $55 (~retail for the Miele HEPA or Sebo filters alone). Other than that, I'd say lookout on the used marketplaces for good deals. I got my $1800 Miele for $300, so it's possible. Good luck.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum rec for disabled person ->Guys, I bought it and it's working great for me. Thanks again.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum where you easily switch attachments and modes? ->I have an older Miele (2001 iirc) and a new Kenmore, they honestly trade blows. The Miele is much quieter, the attachments, hose, bags, and filters seem nicer, and I'm betting it does actually filter better too (or did when it was newer). But the Kenmore has the badass mini electric brush head, the handle controls for on/off as well as suction is pretty dang nifty, the bags are much larger (but for some asinine reason don't fit well inside the vaccuum), the bags and filters are all *significantly* cheaper to buy, it feels like it has similar suction, and it costs a fraction as much as a new Miele. Essentially, the Kenmore feels like a *good* knockoff Miele, and for the price they ask I think that's pretty dang good for most people.
r/VacuumCleaners • Kenmore 600(?) deal ->Sadly no. It doesn’t come with a power head. I’d recommend looking at c1 cat and dog if you can extend budget a tad or a kenmore canister with a power head. Or a sebo Dart would also work really well.
r/VacuumCleaners • C3 PowerLine - SGDE0 Good for Mix Floor Cats? ->Of course everyone will recommend Sebo or Miele. I think a good choice would be a Kenmore Canister with a power head. Since you have stayed as you can use it on that as well, put the attachments.. With a little care it should last many many years.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations? ->Get a bagged kenmore canister.
r/VacuumCleaners • I am feeling so overwhelmed trying to find a vacuum, help please. ->I would strongly suggest a Kenmore bagged canister on Amazon. Not too pricey and bagged is MUCH better for allergies and pet owners
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for advice on what to get, Ontario Canada ->I'm shocked Kenmore bagged canisters aren't more popular. Ours has been an absolute workhorse for over a decade and it's still strong as hell
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->My Kenmore would like a word with you. Absolute unit and hardy as hell
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->I don’t think so. I’ve had Dyson and Shark and the vacuum I have now is my ride or die: HEPA filter disposable bagged Kenmore.
r/CleaningTips • Are Dyson vacuums worth it? ->It depends on what you mean by “repairing”. Repairing usually refers to replacing a worn belt, the brush roller gets hair tangled around it on the sides where you can’t cut it and needs to be taken out and cleaned, and the vacuum can get clogged and needs to be cleared out. If you want to do any of that, don’t get a shark, because you can’t open them up to do any of those basic things that you could do on most vacuums 10 years ago. Look at a simplicity, or kenmore for plug in. Or Henry quick for cordless 👍🏼
r/VacuumCleaners • Is shark a good choice if I don't plan on repairing my vacuum? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
