Complete C3 Cat & Dog PowerLine 2000W Version

Cat and Dog cylinder model SGEE1 its about 12 years old and still works great

Solid models for you: Miele C3 Cat Dog/Kona/Marin or the Guard L1/L1 Electro(the latter are new models, so you may still find some places that you can get a good deal on the C models). Sebo offers the K3 and E3. Lastly, try and find a local vacuum dealer and take each brand for a test drive to find what you like is best. These models are buy it for life and should last decades with proper care. Both companies have features to help clear out pet hair.

For a home of that size - you need yourself a solid bagged canister….hear me out on this. They clean wall to wall AND floor to ceiling. Depending on what you buy it can be a - buy it for life/buy once cry once sort of thing. Miele or SEBO. It’s gonna cost you some cash but you’ll have it for 20 years. Bags require much less maintenance and you won’t have to replace the bag as much as you probably think you would. For your house you will need a model that has a powerhead, also known as an electrified model. Some canister, vacuums have turbo heads, which are air driven. That being said, Miele offers the Guard L1 and L1 Electro. You may find their outgoing C line at a local vacuum store for a good deal. The C1 Cat Dog or C3 Kona/Marin/Cat Dog are all electrified models. SEBO offers the E3 equivalent but you can also look at their older electro model the K3 Premium. Bags and filters are nominal in the long run. If you want to go for lower quality, Kenmore flooring makes some decent canister models including the 400/600/700 series. Not as durable as their German counterparts, these are still going to outperform most big box store brands and of course any cordless model. In Short: check out Miele bagged canisters, Sebo and Kenmore canisters before buying into the smoke and mirrors of Dyson and other bagless brands that are on the market.

The C3 is the better model, more future proofed too.

OP didn’t mention the performance at all on their post. 🤣🥴 Glad you find your vacuum sexy and ergonomic. Meanwhile the rest of us Miele and Sebo owners will enjoy the actually clean floors and exhaust air being cleaner than what is sucked in.

For context, I’m on the shorter side (5’1”). I had a C3 cat & dog before I got my D4 and the D4 doesn’t feel heavier to me when I carry it upstairs. I agree with the other comment, the Miele powerhead felt heavier and more awkward. The D4 also feels easier to maneuver around and I think it’s because of the rotating hose where it connects to the canister. The C3 didn’t have that feature and it does make a big difference. Go for the D4, you’ll be quite impressed!

That's a challenge fitting something good for pets into this small space. If you have a balcony, one idea is to buy a deck box to store some other goods to make room inside for the vacuum. They're sold at Canadian tire and other hardware stores. If you can do this, Miele C3 cat and dog is the best for pets. German engineering last long too, mine’s 22 years old and still running well. Two long hair dogs, one cat for 15 years of its life. Thinking of a new Miele just for the improved design and bagless feature.

r/vacuumcleaners is where you need to ask this. I'd try find a secondhand Miele. Mines 5yrs old now and still sucks like day one. I love it. I have a low shedding dog but I am high shedding (long hair!)

I've got the c3 cat and dog. I don't lug it upstairs now I'm 6mo pregnant, but fine to do so before I was hefting a human around. They're not cheap (this was £350) but they do come up secondhand a lot.
