Lindhaus - Valzer Eco Green

Favourites: Canister: Lindhaus HF6 and Sebo E3 Upright: Lindhaus Diamanté 300 Least favourites: Canister: any Kenmore made after 2010 Upright: Shark Vertex Honourable mentions would be the Miele S7, Miele C3, Sebo K3 and D4, and the Lindhaus Valzer ecoGREEN.

The problems with cordless vacuums like the Dyson V8 and V10 are they have much less suction power than a corded vacuum and they are bagless vacuums so when you empty them they release a lot of allergens back into the air. If you really must have a cordless vacuum I'd look at the Henry Quick. It's a cordless vacuum with pods/bags instead of a bagless bin and filters. Suction isn't comparable to a corded vacuum but it will filter better and be much cleaner. I would look at a lightweight vacuum with a hepa bag. The Lindhaus Valzer is very light for a bagged upright, it has a hose and tools, and the brushroll is removable without tools for easy cleaning. The best vacuum is one that you like to use.

I highly recommend that you go to a local vacuum store and try a modern canister vacuum. I think a Sebo E2 Turbo or Sebo E3 Premium might be a very good vacuum for you. Canister vacuums like the Sebo E Series have 3 caster wheels so they can move in any direction where the old ones had a tricycle setup and were easy to filp over. With a canister you don't hold the weight of the vacuum just the wand and hose. You'll move forward pull the canister up and then vacuum around that spot not moving the canister again until you're ready to move up to the next spot. Since you only have 1 wool rug you might only need the Sebo E2 with a turbo brush for that rug. The Sebo E3 comes with a carpet powerhead and may not be necessary. Downsides are turbo brushes can get a lot of hairwrap and canister vacuums aren't for everyone. The Lindhaus Valzer Eco Green is a lightweight upright vacuum. It's lighter than a Sebo Felix, the Valzer weighs around 10 lbs with the hard floor nozzle and 14 lbs with the carpet powerhead on. You can use the hard floor nozzle for the majority of your home and since it doesn't have a spinning brushroll on this nozzle you will avoid hairwrap. Downsides are some of the controls aren't straight forward and not as many vacuum stores sell Lindhaus. Laslty, check out the Simplicity Spiffy S60. The Spiffy S60 is a small upright stick vacuum. It's only 7 lbs and it still has good suction from a 9 amp motor, which is more powerful than some basic Eurekas and Sharks. The Spiffy S60 has no brushroll so it avoids hairwrap. It's great on hard floors but it's still decent at cleaning rugs and carpets that are low to medium pile. Downsides are it's bagless so it will require more maintenance, it has no hose, and the crevice tool is unusable, so it's really only good for floors. Let me know what you think.

Yeah. I don't think there's another option that will markedly outperform that from a cleaning perspective. Any upgrades I'd do to your vacuum would be to get a dedicated hard floor tool. But that doesn't solve your convenience issue Unfortunately, cordless machines for daily pickups don't come cheap I'd look into corded electric brooms. The Sebo Felix (without the ET-1 powerhead) might fit your needs but not your budget. The out of production Miele S1 would suit it well. Or one of the Lindhaus electric brooms (like the Valzer)

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

Don't get the X7. That's meant for carpet and is suboptimal for hardwood. The Felix 4 Kombi would work if you didn't have a cat. It would struggle with getting cat hair off your rugs. I'd recommend going for the Sebo Felix Premium with the ET-1 powered brushroll. It has a brushroll you can easily remove to detangle

If you're looking for a backpack vacuum, check out the Lindhaus LB4. Comes in both cordless and corded variants. Both of which have options for a powered brushroll The problem is that you went with a bagless option. If you don't have pets, you really just need a pure suction, bagged, corded vacuum If you're looking for an upright, a Sebo Felix Premium with a ET-1 powerhead would be BIFL and clean your rugs really well. Lindhaus Valzer is a similar form factor. Both of these also come in a pure suction variant (with option to add the powered brushroll) Lindhaus Diamante/Dynamic 300 is a 2 motor upright where you can switch the brushroll off In terms of pure suction canisters, Miele C1/C3, Sebo K1/K2/E1/E2, Henry 160, Lindhaus HF6 are probably the top tier BIFL. I'd say bagged, corded Bosch vacuums would be a good buy as well If you have pets, go for a powered brushroll, which means a Sebo Felix Premium, K3, E3, D4, Lindhaus HF6, Dynamic 300

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
