Makita - DCL182ZB

I think you're looking for an upright or stick vacuum compared to your Miele C1 Canister as most canisters have suction only floor brushes but most uprights has a spinning brushroll but there are a few. 1. [Simplicity Spiffy S60](https://www.simplicityvac.com/s60) $129. This is a corded stick vacuum with a suction only floor head, it has no brushes or bristles but it has a squeegee on the rear. It has 2 power levels. It is probably the most readily available of this list, many vacuum stores that sell Simplicity & Riccar will sell this. However it is bagless so it isn't good for allergies and it will require washing the filter regularly. It is light, easy to use, I had one for several years before giving it to a cousin. It has a long cord and it is powerful, I would use high for hard floors but I would usually use low for rugs and carpets so it doesn't get stuck. It comes with a crevice tool but it's not easy to take the floor head off and the upper handle isn't removable so it's not a good hand vacuum and the crevice tool is pointless. 2. [BISSELL BigGreen Commercial BGSV6000T Hercules Slim](https://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-BigGreen-Commercial-BGSV6000T-Hercules/dp/B00LIQB3SI?gQT=1) $100. This is rare dinosaur, it's a corded stick vacuum with disposable bags! The Hercules Slim name was dropped on some of the newer editions, and this vacuum might be discontinued. I haven't used this vacuum but based on the simple and efficient design it has strong suction and 2 power levels. The Bissell Commerical version has a nice long cord. It also has 2 tools but similarly since you can't remove the upper handle I would rarely use the crevice and upholstery tool. Bissell Commercial still sells the bags 10 pack for $14, I'd buy 3 packs and they might outlast the vacuum. One downside is this Bissell does not stand up on it's own, the Simplicity Spiffy does stand up on it's own. 3. [Lindhaus Valzer Eco Green](https://classicvac.com/lindhaus-valzer-eco-green/?srsltid=AfmBOopuxqO3m8UwOvarQIROL6bLb7hrYrJhHjnr-BrH_9ofDYXlGC-k) $749. This is a slimmer full size upright vacuum. It is powerful and uses bags. It comes with a carpet powerhead and a suction only combo floor head and it can stand upright with both floor heads. It also has a built in hose and tools. It's still lightweight. There is a cordless version but it's nearly twice the price. 4. [Makita DCL182ZB Cordless Vacuum Cleaner 18V](https://www.amazon.com/Makita-DCL182ZB-Cordless-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B01N2Q07V0?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1V5QA53AWV1MN&gQT=1) $126 (tool only, no battery or charger included). This Makita is a small cordless stick vacuum with a suction only floor brush and it uses small disposable bags. The batteries and chargers are not included with this vacuum but you may find some packages where they are included. This Makita vacuum has the weakest suction since it's cordless and uses 18V batteries. I'd really only try this vacuum if you already had Makita power tools and batteries. Great question with unusual options. Let me know what you think.

The 180/181/182 are basically the same, just different switch designs. It's fine for quick cleanups in the kitchen, but it's not that powerful. There's a cyclone attachment you can get for it that makes it work better and doesn't clog up the filter as fast, but it adds girth to the whole unit and it's pretty shit anyway because it's friction fit attachment. It doesn't attach too tightly so eventually it works itself loose and falls off while you're vacuuming. The low tech solution is to duct tape around the pipe so that it's a tighter fit. Don't need to tape both parts together. Pony up for the 280/282/284/286 brushless and you'll be much happier in the long run I only got my 180 from a Christmas sale deal last year because I didn't feel like spending too much money on it. I kind of regret that choice. Don't make that mistake I did

I'm already in the Makita ecosystem so I went with that one. It's been great

Makita 18v vacuum... They've got a few but there car cleaning one is good.

works so good my wife stole it from me i got the 18v came in the makita tool bundle. used it for my truck for awhile then my wife seen and had the long tube she took it and use it for the house. it has better power than most vacuum i have a ton of 18 v battery that i don’t use. i transfer over the 40v and i think the 40 v vac has more power in my opinion but she swears by the 18v

I loved the 18v one that we use at home enough that I bought one for my jobsite. They aren't full fledged vacuum cleaners. They're a really excellent version of a dust buster that work remarkably well, for their size. That's all.

Cordless stick vacuums are all more or less disposable, even the expensive ones. The designs are updated frequently and are not made to be repaired, even if you’re able to find parts. I have a Makita cordless which should last a while for quick jobs, but it’s not very powerful. My home vacuum is a 15 year old Miele Swing H1 stick vacuum. It’s corded, but light and powerful, and the bags make everything so much cleaner and more convenient. Personally, I find the cord less annoying than charging. My parents’ heavily used Sebo Airbelt D1 canister vacuum is around 20 years old. Both work perfectly. If I were in the market for a new vacuum, I would buy a Sebo as they are super durable, easily repaired, and very well designed. If I were on a budget, I’d purchase a used Miele. If you want something older, vintage Electrolux vacuums are great once the inevitable deferred maintenance is taken care of. We have a canister vacuum from the seventies at one house and an upright from the nineties at another, both of which are going strong, and both of which have bags and many spare parts readily available.

I have the makita cordless vacuum. It’s great, cheap and really light (also comes in pink btw). Purchased in The Netherlands

For corded, I have an Irish Ohyama model of some variety I bought 9 years ago that still does the job just fine when needed (though we mostly use a Makita cordless these days since it's more convenient).
