100% would recommend. I have NEVER and I mean NEVER used another vacuum that even comes close to the suction power that dyson has. I got the one linked below two years ago (or very very similar) - yes it was around the same price and I would buy it again and again. The only issue I would say is make sure your rug is firmly stuck to the floor because it WILL suck it up. It's that powerful. I've tried multiple shark professional vacs and rainbow E2. They simply do not compare. When using the wand it will pull everything up to a 1 foot radius around it. Perfect for animal hair and very easy to keep clean with a washable filter. [https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/uprights/ball-animal-3/complete-gold](https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/uprights/ball-animal-3/complete-gold) ETA: I have three dogs and a cat and this vacuum is the only thing that can keep up.
Well there is Filter Queen, Aerus Electrolux, Rainbow E2 series not the SRX, Kirby and Hyla. All those vacs last your whole life. The Rainbow and Hyla are water vacuums and Rainbow takes a Hepa in the back, Hyla on the other hand has made a separator that is so good you dont need a hepa in the rear. So you never buy filters in parts. I own one if each of these and have seen them last way up there in years. But honestly I love all these vacs. There amazing in there own way.
Rainbow. I have an E2 Type 12 Black model.
I love my Rainbow vac!
Unless the brushroll and belt on your sebo is lifetime - do one or both need replacing? Also if the sebo bag was 3/4 full - your not getting great suction. Rainbow salesman arrived and was frustrated as hell that he couldn't get ANYTHING out of my plush carpet (2 dogs and 2 cats indoors)! -At that time i had been using a well maintained 25 yo rainbow! Sort that as you like. Kirbys and royals clean carpet very well. Although i have never used a sebo yet i see the high favor here.
I have two GSD, females, 9 & 10 years old and I grew up with German Shepherds. I have a Royal, (Kirby), and a Rainbow water base vacuum. Rainbow is expensive, but will last 30 years, no joke. My mother had one for 36 years. After 36 years, my dad took it over and used it in his garage. I bought a used Rainbow from E-Bay 17 years ago. It works great on dog hair. Great suction! Good luck.
I'm a vacuum enthusiast and refurbished two Rainbows. I can confirm that filling the basin with water, emptying it mid-vacuum and then cleaning the basin and water separator after each use is a pain. I prefer to grab my Sebo and get the job done without any hassles (changing a bag is not a hassle). The E3 is the sweet spot in the Sebo canister lineup, its portable enough to carry upstairs and if your stairs are carpeted it will tackle that job too. I recommend the handheld turbo brush for upholstery and carpeted stairs and an upgraded bare floor tool like the premium parquet or the turn and clean style parquet brush.
