Complete C3 PowerLine Cylinder vacuum cleaner

If money isn’t an issue, I always recommend overbuying. If you have a pet and a rug they like, I say that alone makes an electro head worth it. But there are always carpets or rugs in houses that benefit from electro brushes. With that said: the Homecare+ comes with the flatter Miele power head that has lights, but it’s the less reliable Miele power head. It has known issues. I’d steer you towards the Kona Powerline or Cat & Dog Powerline. You give up the light, but that power head is made by Wessel Werk and it’s super easy to service with less breakdowns.

Not who you were asking but a few thoughts: The C3 is banger, and an electro model is a logical step up with your carpet situation. Strong recommend. The Sebo E3 with the electro brush is comparable and has a much easier to clean brush roll than the Miele. It just pops out without tools and you can clean it instantly. But both preform similarly. Using a flat suction brush on carpet for hair is a time suck, I’d just clean the brush once weekly. Spend 15 minutes doing that every Saturday instead of doubling your vacuuming time. You can definitely shampoo your carpets, many carpet makers recommend it. If you want your own machine, the Bissell Big Green is the best carpet shampooer hands down. It’s head and shoulders better than anything else you can buy. And it’s not gross like the $200 Bissells. I don’t know enough about professional cleaners/methods to rec them.

The C3 2000w variant is an absolute beast

Miele and Sebo are the best for typical household vacuums, but if you don’t mind the noice you can also consider a shop vac. They are well respected on the construction vacuum market.

I suggest the Costco guard l1 cat and dog plus , it’s $499 though but comes with both a good hard floor tool and a turbo brushed Depending on how much area rug you have you and how thick the pile is the c3 limited edition at $449 right now is also a great deal In Canada they all come with 5 year warranty parts and labour

We've tried Dyson and Sharks but they're so hard on our carpets and rugs so we went with the Mieli Pro. It's a canister vac so whereas it does take up more space than upright and stick vacs, it's relatively maneuverable. What we like the most is that you can reach high up for vents, fixtures, ceilings and low/deep (under sofas, beds) with relative ease. You can also change the height of the beater brush for different length floors (hard vs low pile carpet vs high pile rug) and you can even turn the beater brush off if you have hand-woven or otherwise delicate rugs. You can even change the suction power depending on if you're doing floors or drapes or furniture.

Oh! And these things are made to be repaired. They use hard rubber parts that are standardized across the line so you don't have to just toss it out after 3-5 years.
