When we got rid of carpeting in our house, with only 1 area rug and some throw rugs left, I bought a cordless Dyson upright, and a Miele hard-floor canister. The Dyson can be used on rugs or hard floors, and has good attachments for furniture, drapes. The Miele has a very large hard floor attachment that fits under most furniture, as well as good attachments.

Mieles are FANTASTIC vacuums but work the BEST for hard floors! Im not sure they even have a powerhead option which is what you're going to want! You want to consider what comes with an air spun carpet attachment vs powerhead vacuum attachments since you have so much carpet! Powerhead will make your life a lot easier! Especially if there's a power pet/upholstery attachment for stairs etc. Basically the difference between the two means the vacuum uses actual electrical power to spin the carpet tool instead of using airflow to spin it - which can be difficult on certain heights of carpet or if your machine and filter aren't super clean Also- look for a bagged vacuum. I know these are becoming less popular but saves so much time on maintenance for your machine and will keep it working better longer! Also battery vacuums can be handy for awkward corners and stuff but I will always choose a corded vs battery vacuum.

Wenn Du soviel Geld in die Hand nimmst: Miele CX - Serie; hat mein Schwager, ist gut. Wobei ich immer noch ein Freund von Beutelsaugern bin, die Beutel bringen einen preislich nicht um (und sind anders als Tintenpatronen nicht gechipt, günstige Drittanbieter also möglich) und sind sauberer. Du kannst die heutigen Staubsauger dennoch nicht mit denen von früher™ vergleichen - die Technik heute ist zwar effizienter, aber an die 2200W - Dinger kommt sie dennoch nicht ran. Quelle: haben einen neuen 890W Miele und einen älteren mit 2200W - der nuckelt wesentlich schneller mit der XL-Parkettdüse (übrigens sehr zu empfehlen) über den Boden.

Anyone have or know of one that is made for soft wood floors? I have looked but have not found any with good reviews. Our new floors are maple and they say no brush only suction. We have a Miele vacuum made for soft wood floors that is great but is corded and a canister so I hate bringing it out.

Yessss especially if you add the hardwood attachment for bare floors!!! It is my favorite vacuum.

I'd go on FB marketplace and buy a used Miele or Sebo or any high-end bagged, canister vacuum. They're so worth it. Imo, bagless vacuums/mainstream vacuums all suck equally. They don't do a good job, cleaning/maintenance is not fun, and they break after a while. But if you can't get a high-end one, I'd just buy any cheap & popular shark/Dyson, they'll be good enough. (Just don't get the battery-powered sticks though)

I have one for quick messes and love it. It’s the perfect pair to my C3 (thanks to performance reviews for the tip) I believe both those models have the powered attachment point. It’s when it’s called the S194 is when you need to do your due diligence. Worst case, as for a picture of the attachment point. It’s easy to see if it’s electrified or not.

Don’t overpay for a rainbow. You can get a Sebo d4 or Miele C3 for less than half. For allergies you want something corded **and bagged**. Find a local Miele/Sebo dealer and give those a try. Which exact model depends on your flooring.

Check out r/vacuumcleaners As mentioned Miele and Sebo are top brands. You can safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. They’re garbage. As is anything bagless.

Vacuum wars is a paid shark shill and not to be trusted. Hell Chris even appeared in a shark commercial. BIFL vacuums absolutely exist. They’re corded and bagged made by brands like Miele and Sebo.

*Cordless* Vacuums are disposable. **Corded and bagged** vacuums like a Miele or Sebo will last you 2 decades or longer. Ask r/vacuumcleaners

Miele, Sebo or Lindhaus. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

This is the answer! You can still get a Miele for only hard flooring.

Agree with J3ttf! The Miele is a worthy splurge!

Miele, Sebo, Henry, Lindhaus. Shark and Dyson are garbage. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

You want to ask r/vacuumcleaners. Miele or Sebo is the correct answer. Corded and bagged. Safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. Find a local dealer and take a few Miele’s and sebos for a test drive. Specifically the Sebo dart if it’s mostly for carpet.

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