Yeah, when I moved to another state last year I left the $80 upright with my roommate because she has carpet and my new house doesn’t. And that meant I could justify buying a new Riccar canister. They’re both quiet and lightweight, easy to maneuver. And yes, the new canister was $$$.
I've had bagless uprights for 20+ years and recently realized how bad they are for my allergies. I bought a bagged Riccar upright and a Kenmore bagged canister. The amount of dirt that is coming out of my carpet is amazing. The bags are so different than they used to be. Now they are HEPA. Bagged from now on.
Riccar. Boo to all canisters because they are clunky… cord, canister, hose. Ugh!
Oh man i use a riccar for one of my buildings but the thing's been broken for 3 weeks now 😭
I have the Miele C3. You won’t be disappointed! This was my second Miele vacuum - I wanted to have one for the basement and another for the main floor. Absolutely buy it for life! I bought a Riccar vacuum in 1998 but sent it with my son to college 4 years ago but it is still going strong. Make sure to take it in for service periodically. I pay about $100 for service in the US. I just had the brush rotor replaced on my 2008 Miele upright and it made a world of difference!
Riccar for carpet, Dyson V8 for the rest of life. Guaranteed.
Riccar or Miele. I've had both, currently have a Miele, and once you step into this range of vacuums you typically won't be satisfied with lower end models abilities. Amazing suction, independently powered brush heads, multi-stage HEPA filtration, etc. Not sure what model the other user that had Miele had, but mine is super well built, but that's expected when spending $1200+ on a vacuum.
+Riccar, I own one and its been great. But $$$
