My 2 cents for corded vacuums is wattage doesn't mean better. I had that 2400W for a couple days and the design of the HEPA filter housing was a weak point. Yes it's powerful, powerful enough to bow the filter to let out all the fine particles back into the room. Which is a shame. It was like the extra power exposed All the design flaws that the Anko/HE group vacuums seem to have. I did like the pet fitting though.
Shelled out for a Miele C1 ecoline (550w). And it's been a way better fit for purpose vacuum. Way quiter (anko 2400w was like a jet), the bags are a better air filter, plus you can put a HEPA filter on it too. Sucks like a champ, I was crazy surprised with how it performed. Like on full with an empty bag it's almost hard to move on carpet.. you have to turn it way down to do a rug.
Downside is buying bags. But as a household with dust allergies plus two dogs.. totally worth it.
So yeah, design is better than pure power consumption rating.
Opinion of one. YMMV.
Miele junior I have it does the job I had 2 bed apt. 2 cats. Wish I had got the pet one it’s a lot more cash but they are worth it! No better hoover imo.
Miele junior c1 I think mine is, it was around 180€ I think the cheapest tbh. I love it, does a great job I have 2 bed apt with 3 pets now. Wish I had got the pet one it’s a good bit more expensive but they are worth it! No better hoover imo.

A VAX has been the best of the bunch here, so far, better than Bosch (an all-round failure) or Dyson (motor longevity). Yet to try a Shark. Regular maintenance is vital, given the lower suction power of battery models, I've found.
None are as good in handling larger pieces of dirt as my corded, bagged, Miele cylinder, and the increased suction power means fewer tool changes for corners, etc. So, if you can find the space for one...
I even keep the VAX stick running all the way back to the cupboard to reduce spillage, then use the Miele once in a while to clean out the cupboard :-D
Wow, that’s an amazing price for a Miele. Our first one was a small basic model that lasted over a decade but needed a new cord that was almost as much as it cost new 20ish years ago. We replaced it with a top of the line model and that was around $1500 maybe 8 or so years ago. I want to say the updated version of it is now $1800 which would be $2000, give or take a bit, once sales tax is added.
Someone could literally fly to Germany, buy a vacuum, and fly back with the box being checked luggage and it would still be cheaper than buying it here. It’s not tariffs though, it’s been the same price for at least two years with little change.

Ultra-durable, 10-year warranty, but expensive with short cord.
