Lindhaus - Diamante 380e

Sebo K3 or Lindhaus HF6, or alternatively Sebo Felix or Lindhaus Healthcare Pro. Personally I use an old Silver King, but the HF6 is basically a better Silver King.

Consider the Lindhaus Diamante. This is a premium Italian upright vacuum with a separate brush roll motor that can be turned off for cleaning hard floors. It also comes with a felt pad for the bottom to use on delicate hard floors. It comes with a hose and telescopic wand and a full set of high quality attachments and provisions to use it to shampoo carpets and rugs. They are outstanding carpet cleaners with a lifetime geared belt and simple brush roll removal with no tools. If you shop around you can usually find these for under $700 and it would probably be the last new vacuum you need to buy. Lindhaus makes every part of their vacuums including the electric motors in house at their factory in Padua. That is extremely rare in the modern vacuum industry. They are a subsidiary of a larger Italian electric motor manufacturer called Rotafil. They ooze quality and are well regarded in commercial use for the durability and cleaning prowess. Worth a look before you spend your hard earned. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=935DW6RuYXQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=935DW6RuYXQ)

I may have strongly disagreed with your advice in another thread but I highly agree with this. The Diamante is a fantastic machine for OP that has dual flooring if they prefer an upright. I love Sebo but I tend to prefer Lindhaus' uprights. I think they're a bit more refined and versatile for most people's needs.

As great of a machine as the Felix is I'm often hesitant to recommend it to people who have a lot of mixed flooring and would be swapping out the heads often. For that I tend to recommend the Lindhaus Diamante since it's a dual motor machine that can go from carpet to hard floor with just the push of a button. I know you can do that on the Felix but the ET-1 isn't the best on hard floors. It'll do it but something like the Diamante is more better suited for that

If you're cleaning a lot of hardwood floors, I would not do Sebo uprights as they don't have a brushroll shutoff Electric brooms like the Sebo Felix/Dart, Lindhaus Valzer, Healthcare Pro can fit both the hard floor tools and motorized brushrolls from Sebo/Lindhaus Uprights like the Lindhaus Diamante have 2 motors and the brushroll can be turned off for hard floors. Not ideal if hardfloors are your main surface For canisters, Sebo D9 (the commercial version of the D4) and Lindhaus HF6 would be good options for doing it all. They have the electric brushrolls, huge bag capacity, commercial warranties, and long cords

Given your mix of laminate, and carpet, long hair/potential fur, and preference for an upright, you could look into the Sebo Felix or Lindhaus Dynamic 300. Both are two-motor designs (one for suction airflow, and one for powering the brushroll for cleaning carpet) The Sebo Felix Premium is a popular recommendation here, but due to its design, it can be a bit heavy in the hand. It also doesn't stand upright if you switch it to the hard floor head The Lindhaus Dynamic/Diamante is a traditional upright design, but you can turn the brushroll off for cleaning hard floors Both machines are BIFL in the sense that the companies tend to have stable model lines, carry spare parts, and are designed for ease of repair Filtration and cleaning ability are top-notch, both have excellent carpet cleaning power, and more than enough suction to handle hard floors If you're looking into canisters, Sebo K3 or E3 Premium

Buy it for Life. Though it doesn't mean it will last a lifetime without breaking. To me, it means that repairs are both possible and economic I had never heard of Lindhaus before I discovered vacuum nerdery. And now I own one and love it. As they're commercial machines, they will be on the no-frills side of things. And you'll need to buy it from shops/dealers selling vacuums to the commercial market Both Sebo and Lindhaus brushrolls will be very easy to untangle. They're made to be easy to remove for you to cut your hair off it regularly

Hello! I work as a residential cleaner. 15 story building with long hallways in Canada. We have long winters with lots of tiny granite rock and sand that needs to be cleaned up. My boss has asked me to find a good commercial vacuum as I need a new one and I am stumped. We've tried the Karcher Sensor Upright Vacuum (decent vacuum but the suction is not great once the bag fills up about an inch). We've also tried Lindhaus Upright Vacuum (very cheap quality, we had 3 and they all busted in some way, also suction isn't great once bag fills up only a little) and Sanitaire Upright bagless Vacuum (was very low and couldn't adjust height so we all ended up with back pains by the end of the day, side hose also was just a hose with no wand, suction was garbage, I was tapping filter out every floor). I am currently using a canister vacuum which is like the "henry" vacuum but its not only killing my back but also my wrist... overall the Karcher was the best but the suction just does not keep up and having to change the bag every other day or even everyday is just costly. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good long lasting vacuum thats not going to give out in a year or 2 as its like pulling teeth getting equipment. I prefer a upright with a hose that has a wand and preferably can go on carpet and hard floor but I am willing to go with just carpet. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated, again in Canada thanks!

The Miele, Henry, and Sebo vacs are the only ones worth a damn on this list. If you want a real BIFL vac and are willing to shell out, get a Lindhaus.

The best vacuum money can buy is a Vorwerk, Lindhaus, or Sebo E3. Whether they're the type of vacuum you want is another story.

Versamatic and recently switched to Lindhaus

My thoughts are buy a refurbished Sebo, Lindhaus, or Miele, a good amount cheaper but the vacuums are of such high quality that they can be rebuild and still last 20 years
