MC-PJ24G-C

We just got a Panasonic mc-pj24g for around 20k. I chose it based on suction power and I'm noticing a pretty big improvement especially on rugs. It's kind of loud though so maybe something to consider if you live in an apartment. Kakaku let's you sort in a variety of ways including suction power and noise level, so maybe check that out if you have any special requirements.

Just get a regular canister Kenmore or Panasonic vacuum. All those stick and battery vacuums are gimmicks. $300-$500 dollars, will last you forever. Maximum suction, 30' retracting cord, HEPA bag - hose arm and head will go under furniture. I have 2 story home with hardwood and cat. Amazing how much dander a single cat can generate in a day. I vacuum every couple days when I see that thin layer on the floor. Cat's 7 years old, vacuum is 22 years old.

Just don't by a stick one - useless. Get either an upright or a canister corded one - maximum real suction power. I have 2 canister corded vacuums, Kenmore and Panasonic, one for each floor level of our home. Work perfect for hardwood and carpeted.

I have a Kenmore canister and the Panasonic equivalent both for 25+ years running fine. Nothing has every broken so parts are no concern. Just replaced the filters every 10 years or when my brain reminds me :D.

i'm not sure why after using a dependable upright vacuum, you're leaning towards a robot vacuum? If you want 25+ years out of a vacuum, then the regular upright or canister is the way to go. You could just have the Hoover repaired if you can hunt down a shop and it'd be cheaper than buying a new "electronic" vacuum. Our home is 2 floors. I have a Kenmore and a Panasonic(same vacuum/different brand slapped on it) canister vacuum. The Kenmore is 36 years and the Panasonic is 25 years old. Both working without issue man handled by my two grown sons. Nothing broken, nothing cracked, just as shiny as when they first came out of the boxes.They just work.

I have a Panasonic Elite 800 and it’s great. It’s kind of a knockoff of Miele but I like that the controls are on the handle instead of the canister.

Reddit had a real thing for Miele because of that guy who did AMAs. I've owned Kirby, Electrolux, and Dyson, but my favorite and longest lasting vacuum has been a Panasonic canister vacuum. It's been flawless for over a decade now, plus you can buy 2 or 3 of them for the same price as some of these other guys.

I have a Panasonic canister. Neighbour has a Kenmore canister, Exact same vacuum save a few minor variances and name. They have been through a great deal as he also uses his in his garage. I had a Meile. Was not overly impressed with it.
