"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied?

Sebo’s are originally made for commercial usage they can be used for household cleaning. Miele’s are made for household in Europe they are the Mercedes of vacuums. They have features to make them more user friendly my C3 has built in tools under a special hood, touch powersettings with symbol, tools are more refined and the machine it self is nicer to look at in case you can’t store them in a cupboard or closet! Thats why I prefer Miele when using it in my home it doesnt feel like the vacuum operates me but I am in control of vacuuming with it following behind me. And in case I have sudden visitors at the front door i’m not like get that clunky ugly machine out of the room😂😅 so it’s more user prefference at the end of the day they both get the jobs done for years to come

I would look at a Miele canister/barrel style vacuum, the C3 range is my favorite, with the parquet twister hard floor brush. Possibly the best hard floor vacuum attachment I've ever used. It has openings all around to pull in debris, and the bristles gently dust the floor as you vacuum. The bristles are very soft and gentle, and it has no motorized spinning bars or hard wheels on the head to tangle with hair or possibly scrape. And it's simple to clean, just run the end of the hose across the brushes a few times to pull off any stuck lint. The barrel part of the vacuum itself has rubberized wheels which won't mar or scratch. And you should be able to find a model with an air driven turbo brush for the carpets in addition to the parquet twister head. If not, those accessories can be bought as an ad-on. Not familiar with the specific models avaliable there, but any of the (preferably bagged) models with the parquet twister and the turboteq would be an excellent combo for you.

Any miele or sebo cylinder would be a great choice. Either can be optioned with a dedicated hard floor brush with no brushbar, no wheels even. And the cylinders themselves have soft rubberized wheels. Best all around option for delicate hard floors.

The airstorm, while good, is no better than a miele or sebo. I wouldn't pay the premium. Mieles and sebos are also sealed to trap dust. They are also more modern in design and easier to use (they have cord rewind while the air storm does not). There's nothing really bespoke about the airstorm. Underneath the top shell, the power nozzle is the same as ones avaliable for Miele models. The hose and other tools are generic off-the-shelf supplies etc. While it would probably last you a long time and do a good job, you might resent using it. I'd strongly suggest you try one in person before choosing, and frankly I'd save money and go with a nicer to use miele/sebo.

Unusual, the miele c3 has more suction than any cordless vac and with the electrobrush head has better agitation than the dyson for carpets. Maybe it's a preference thing or something with your specific rugs. Sometimes vacuums just don't work on certain rugs because of the shear number of variations.

Miele C3 Milan (or whatever version peaks your interest). You don’t want a bagless, like you think you do. Less power, they get dirty and you’re not going to (want to) clean it. Trust me, from experience. Dyson, Shark, and many others in that market-space plan for the tool to phase out of use much sooner than you’d probably want; repairing them is intentionally not cost-effective. Look at the battery guarantee for anything that’s cordless, it’s likely projected to last 1 year in the manual. Miele, Kenmore, Sebo have a longer life, contain allergens better (they stay in the bag that you change every 3-6mo) and are serviceable.

SEBO and Miele are commercial grade vacuums, and they focus on suction quality build quality and longevity. They don’t do flashy colorful gimmicks like you see on Dyson and shark. Gimmicks don’t last long. They tend to wear much quicker such as the little blades on the brush roller on the shark and Dyson that “prevent“ hair from tangling up on the roller. Then they generally come with a fabric roller that gets dirty and has to be washed. And they have not worked very well. They work only OK. Like I said, those are gimmicks and shark and Dyson are generally infomercial vacuums that are advertised heavily on home shopping networks such as QVC and HSN. Gimmicks sell but gimmicks don’t last. When a company puts more emphasis on gimmicks the quality of the vacuum generally is not that great which is why shark and Dyson don’t last very long before they need replacing.

As a person who had a Miele for 15 years and just replaced it last week with a new SEBO D4 I love getting something brand new after using the same thing for many years. But with that being said, I would love my home to be equipped with central vacuuming. I honestly recommend simply replacing the motor in your central vacuum system. I think after 18 years under $400 for a replacement motor is really cheap.

I don’t have pets, but the Miele vac is what I have for 15 years and it worked perfectly for the full 15 years before it started showing its age. Never once broke down. Nothing ever got stuck in it. The Miele models of today are not as great unless you buy their mid tier or higher end. Today I’m using a SEBO and love it even more than the Miele.

Nothing to add except another recommendation for this machine. I’ve had it for over 10 years, it performs as good as day one (as best I can tell), and it’s lasted longer than the pets it was cleaning up after (RIP). It’s also travelled across the country with me twice, and if I move again I’m sure it’s coming with me.

I have a Miele and it’s great. Buying them can be a little confusing because there are lots of different models, heads, etc. But as long as you get one with a power head for carpets, you probably won’t be disappointed. We have very little carpet in our house so I bought the model that Costco was selling (no power head). It’s been perfect.

I have both Miele and Sebo canisters. The Miele SEB power nozzles handle thicker pile carpet better than the Sebo. I have a thick pile area rug in the master bedroom and the Sebo can't handle it. The Meile wand will go flat for under furniture cleaning, the elbow is angled more than the Sebo, in practice it isn't a significant difference. The Miele expendables (bags/filters) cost a bit more than Sebo and maintenance for a Miele will cost more compared to Sebo. The Sebo's break down much easier, quicker than a Meile. Which would I choose? I prefer my Miele C3 over the Sebo E3, but for whole house cleaning the Sebo D4 with the 40' cord and 1.5 gallon bag is the clear winner.

Congratulations and look forward to your follow up review after a whole house cleaning. Miele did a poor job assessing the US market for the Guard series. We get the same handle and hose as the previous models; not the new handle with controls released in Europe. They discontinued the SEB 236 power nozzle (LED light, lower profile), and only two models with a power nozzle. None of the Cat and Dog models have a power nozzle! The new Fiber TeQ All Floor attachment looks promising though and will probably be added to my C3's arsenal of tools.

Both Sebo E3 and Miele C3 canister vacuums are top tier. Both use the same handheld turbo brush attachment (made by Wessel Werk) that is excellent for dog beds, upholstery, stairs. The Miele C3’s are discounted now as the new Guard series is replacing them. A Miele white dog and cat model or Marin navy blue model are probably the best pet vacuums you can get.

If you are future proofing your purchase, the D4 is ideal for the 3K+ home. In use, the D4 with its rotating hose is very manageable, not too different than a C3. Carrying the body alone upstairs is 15.9 pounds vs 12.5 for a C3. The Sebo wand and head is lighter than a C3 with a SEB 228 power nozzle.

I have Corgis and they shed fur as a hobby. Sebo or Miele with a power nozzle, not the entry level suction only machines. The ideal pair is a Sebo E3 canister and Felix upright. The Felix is my daily, the E3 is my weekly deep cleaner. There are clearance deals on the Miele C3s right now; look for the Cat & Dog, Marin and even the HomeCare+ canisters. The Miele power nozzles handle deep pile better than Sebo, otherwise the vacuums are tied for performance.

The first things you'll notice about a modern vacuum is how quiet and compact they are compared to your Silver King. The Sebo D4 Onyx (or any Onyx version) opens the door to dealer-only extended warranty, pricing and accessory packages; 10 years motor/casing, parts and 7 year labor. Now that Miele rolled out their Guard series of vacuums, remaining stock of C3s are discounted. Standard warranty on a C3 is three years, but if there is a HomeCare edition (Red color), they are the Meile dealer-only line and warranted to 5 years. Only the entry level Miele's are Chinese, the majority are manufactured in Germany/Europe. The Guard Titanium is the current, dealer-only model from Miele. Both brands are BIFL, and the canisters are the GOAT for whole house cleaning (dusting, furniture, stairs, etc.). The D4 is designed for larger homes (40' cord, 1.5g bag). The Sebo E3 and Miele C3/Guard series are in the sweet spot for the average size home with a mix of bare floors and carpet. Models with a power nozzle will provide the most versatility to grow with your needs as you move from rentals to your final home. Get both brands and various models in your hands and test drive them in store. Black Friday is coming and these are always discounted this time of year.

I was in a pretty similar boat. The big question will be your flooring situation - is it all hard surfaces, carpet, rugs, or a mix? Robot vacuums do fine if you don’t have any carpets or rugs. We use the Roborock Q5+ for our flooring where we don’t have carpets or rugs. I don’t find their hair to be an issue, though it does catch on the brush over time that you can remove with a screwdriver. The app works well but as this is a more budget model (which is usually still in your range), it lacks mopping and object avoidance. If you have carpet or a few rugs, you’ll need an electric powerhose vacuum on top of or instead of a robovac, depending on the degree and height of your carpeting. This would mean something akin to Miele C3 (select models) or Sebo E3.
