https://a.co/d/0aam7Dfz I bought an Oreck Commercial XL Pro 5 compact Vacuum years ago, and that thing is amazing. Great suction, and has just ran amazing. It has bags, but if I don't wanna replace the bag I just empty it.

Love ours. We have the Cat & Dog. There is a learning curve to all the settings but once you get that down, it's pretty painless. It's over ten pounds lighter than our old Orec canister and it fixed the traffic wear patterns in our bedroom carpet. I was going to file a complaint about the carpeting until we got the Meile. Now I know the old Orec wasn't cleaning worth a \*\*\*\*.

We have an Oreck canister vacuum from 1997. I have been through 2 dysons (never again. Neither one lasted longer than 2 years) my Oreck has never given me any issues. I change the bags and clean filters as needed. She’s a good girl!!

I have a small Oreck canister vac for the light jobs indoors.

Scale it to your house-family and garage-shop sizes. My small-ish wet-dry shop vac with flexible hoses and Oreck XL portable vacuum are perfect for my 1000sf house+garage-shop. Supported with good brooms and dustpans of course. Shop vacs can be LOUD; they handle wet messes and bigger chunks. Interior vacs are quieter. My vote is if only one, then start with a NEW mid-size shop vac, then get an interior vac. I usually thrift, but sweeping statement: people tend to abuse shop vacs, ymmv; on interior vacs, good used can be found because people either upgrade way too often or dump them when the bag gets full (weird but true!). Congrats on new house.
