get a corded canister vacuum like a sebo e3,k3 or d4 or a miele c3 and they will actually last you 10 years and can be repaired by yourself if they ever make problems.
r/BuyItForLife • best bifl vacuum cleaner? ->I got the K3 (the entry level with the electric head) and it's been fantastic. We have 3 cats, 2 kids and a dog and the carpet gets pretty hairy at times and it's been night and day since I got the K3
r/BuyItForLife • What’s the best corded vacuum of 2025??? ->Gotcha, okay. A few things. 1) Cordless machines don’t have the power to clean a full house well, especially carpets and rugs. They’re really meant for quick pickups and to supplement a proper/more powerful vacuum between deeper cleanings. 2) For those thin washable type rugs, you typically want to avoid high suction and a brush roller because they get damaged easily, like it seems you’ve already experienced. So ideally you want a machine with variable suction and that lets you turn a brush roller on/off + change the floor heads depending on what you’re vacuuming. 3) I think a canister vacuum is definitely going to be less strenuous to use vs an upright. If you’re not used to that form factor though it might be worth demo’ing one before buying anything just to make sure it’s the right fit? It might take some getting used to if you’ve always used uprights and stick vacs. A Sebo K3 or a Miele C1 Cat & Dog might be the move here. Bagged canister, powerful variable suction machines that have electric power heads with brush roll on/off. You can change the floor head out so if you want use a suction only tool downstairs and the power head upstairs to really deep clean your wall to wall carpet you can do that. The Sebo has a better warranty (10yr motor/non wear parts, 7 yr labor) and they offer a soft brush roll accessory (green bristles) made for more delicate carpeting in case whenever suction only won’t do the job on those thin rugs. There’s a 25% off deal at one online dealer floating around the sub that would get those machines within budget for you. If you have local Sebo and Miele dealers they have flexibility to offer discounts below MSRP as well. If you can get a 25% off deal then you nought have a look at Sebo’s E3 canister as well as it has some useful added features over the K3, but they do clean about the same. For lower budget options there are canister models from Kenmore that have similar features to the Mieles and Sebo’s in my opinion they’re more cumbersome to use and durability/repairability isn’t nearly as good.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for thin rugs and pet hair? ->Get a Sebo k3. Comes with a ten year warranty, cant beat that. Replacement parts available after that if needed, and the roller comes out super easy for cleaning that hair. The filter system also seems to be the best around. I have one and love it so much ill be gifting another to my mom
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->Got the airbelt K3 premium canister, and bought the premium parquet floor brush attachment and modded it. Bought it from a registered dealer/service center, so I have a 10-year warranty, and the store's been there for generations (youngest taking over too), so I'll have somewhere to take the vacuum if I have problems, or it needs maintenance. Love it so far!
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->Check out SEBO - for uprights the Felix is great for both hard floor and carpet. SEBO K and E series canisters are also excellent.
r/VacuumCleaners • I hate this vacuum! Looking for advice on replacing it please. ->I’d highly recommend a canister vacuum cleaner with a dedicated bare-floor nozzle - the kind that’s just a brush with no wheels. Something like a Wessel-Werk CN250 or D 330 Turn & Clean. Both Miele and SEBO offer branded versions of these. These don’t have wheels and sit on just bristles. No plastic wheels and baseplates fo break. These glide over the uneven floors beautifully and strong suction will pick the dirt up out of the crevices. If you’re dealing with fine dust, bags are the way to go. No filters to wash, no dust cups to clean out, no plumes of dust. No, the bags won’t fill up instantly or loose suction the way old paper vacuum bags did. I’d strongly recommend looking at SEBO E3, or K3; Miele C1 or C3 canister with the Miele Parquet nozzle, Numatic Henry with the bare-floor only brush. If you find a canister you like that doesn’t have a no-wheels bare floor brush, you can get aftermarket ones either online or at your local vac shop. Most canisters use either a 35mm (Miele size) fitting, or generic 1 1/4” or 32mm fitting. Check out your local vacuum shop and let them know your flooring situation. They’ll be able to get you the exact attachments you need.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for flagstone flooring and some carpet ->Insanely wasteful. Just get a Sebo or Miele and be done with the waste.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendations for vacuums that will not void my carpet warranty ->God bless you - That’s a busy household. IMO spend your budget on a good vacuum. (Sebo k3 in this instance). Then start saving for a carpet cleaner (Bissell big green) or little green if you’re looking for just a spot cleaner. In the meantime while you’re saving for a carpet cleaner. Rent one if you need a full room cleaner. Or if you need a spot cleaner, use a wet/dry vac with the spot cleaner of your choosing.
r/VacuumCleaners • 14 cats and 2 dogs needs great vacuum/carpet cleaner ->IMO even though you have low pile carpet. I’d still spend the money on an electric powerhead. (Sebo k3 with the additional “green” soft brushroll for the wool rug) Miele c1 cat and dog will work well too. But will probably be too rough on the wool rug. I understand those are both well above your budget. But imo for what you’re looking for, that’s the price of admission. Both the Sebo and Miele have great filtration (edge to the Miele especially if you get the additional HEPA exhaust filter) If you prefer an upright, Sebo dart or Felix.
r/VacuumCleaners • Need advice: Vacuum for EXTREME, SILTY DIRT AND DUST and daily use ->Plenty of options: Low budget: Kenmore 600 series pop and go Med/high: Miele C1 cat and dog, C3 Homecare, Sebo k3 or e3. You can safely ignore that Dyson/shark rec in the other comment. Neither are bagged and both are a joke. I have a hard time believing they even owned a Miele. Or if they did it was a hard-floor only model or something. Find a local dealer and take the above for a test drive to see which you prefer.
r/VacuumCleaners • Help me pick a bagged canister vacuum ->Got it! Hard floor only: Miele C1 Pure Suction, Sebo k2 Kombi, Henry 160 Hard floor and carpet: Miele C1 Cat and Dog, Sebo k3, e3, dart or Felix To add: all are excellent. If you have a Miele/Sebo dealer nearby, definitely stop in for a test drive.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommend a Vacuum Cleaner for a Luxury Vinyl Floor. Thanks. ->Definitely don’t buy a $75 cordless vacuum. It will be in the trash before the New Year then you’ll be looking to replace it, wasting even more money. If you can stretch slightly (a bit). Keep an eye out for Black Friday sales for a Hoover Complete performance or Kenmore intuition. Agreed with Performance reviews - used is a great option for that budget. A used Miele, Sebo, Oreck or Sanitare
r/VacuumCleaners • Any ideas for good vacuums $75 or less? ->Ugh that product selector is terrible. No the pure suction would be terrible for a house with carpeted rooms. You need a C1 cat and dog at a minimum. IMO the C3 Homecare would be ideal because the cord is longer which better suits a home your size, onboard storage is a plus. And a longer warranty. They’re only sold at dealers, so find one locally and take it for a test drive. I’d also add a Sebo k3 or e3 to your short list as well. The 10 year warranty puts Miele’s to shame and the cleaning performance is basically the same. (I say this as a Miele C3 owner myself)
r/VacuumCleaners • Which bagged Miele vacuum would you recommend for a 3000 sq ft home with two toddlers and a dog? ->C3 Calima has an air driven turbo head - it will not suffice for carpeted rooms. Definitely the C1 cat and dog or a C3 Homecare (way more $$$ but you may appreciate the longer cord, onboard tool storage and longer warranty) Honestly the best bang for your buck is a Sebo K3. It has mostly all of the benefits of the C3 Homecare (with an even longer warranty) for a few hundred less and it’s every bit as good (arguably better) than a Miele. (I say this as a Miele owner) Do you have a Miele or Sebo dealer nearby? Stop in and take all the above for a test drive.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which bagged Miele vacuum would you recommend for a 3000 sq ft home with two toddlers and a dog? ->IMO ditch your cordless requirement at least for your primary vacuum. If you want something that is long lasting, doesn’t clog and is good will allergies you’ll definitely need something corded and bagged. Cordless and bagless vacuums are a sad joke masquerading as a vacuum. Grab a Sebo k3 or Miele C3 Cat and Dog for your main weekly deep clean vacuum. Then grab a cordless stick for quick daily messes. (Bissell airram or lg a9) The Miele and Sebo have an expected life of ~20 years. So imo it’s worth the price of admission. You could also look at a Kenmore 600 series pop and go + a cordless stick as well.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum cleaners that work good with carpet and wood floors ->I’d do a sebo k3 premium for your needs, the hepa filter add on. They seal their vacuums very well.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the best bagged HEPA vacuum with a sealed system ->The k3 filters to hepa standards with the filter add on.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the best bagged HEPA vacuum with a sealed system ->Sebo K3 or the Felix. The sebo powerhead has a brush roll you can pull out with the press of a button to clean it. Makes a big difference!
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for pet hair in 2025? Need something that actually sucks (in a good way) ->Sebo k3 or e3.i just got the e3 premium it's good
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->I bought a Sebo K3 for a big discount because the shop was getting rid of their floor stock. Wipes the floor with my old Dyson v6. It is big and can be inconvenient sometimes, but it keeps my floors so much cleaner. And with a shedding dog it was absolutely worth it.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->I have all hard flooring except carpet on my stairs and rugs everywhere. I bought a sebo k3 premium and am very satisfied with it. Does great taking care of the mess from my two dogs.
r/VacuumCleaners • What’s the best vacuum for a mainly tiled and laminate flooring home? ->Sebo K3 owner here and Sebo is an amazing brand. Equivalent to Miele and similar price range. I vacuum 2x a week with my Sammy and 3 cats. Bags last a little over a month. Great suction and easy to maintain. One of the best vacuums for houses with hardwood. The carpet attachment is the best in the business. The vacuum will out live my animals.
r/samoyeds • Ok fellow Samoyed owners, what vacuum do you use? ->I gave up on Dyson after seeing damage to my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. The fluffy head sits too close to the floors on the laser side. As it moves back and forth, it sometimes scrapes the beveled edges. Exchanged one V15 after that happened, thinking it was just that one that was defective. Second one ended up doing the same, and the canister seal broke after a month. Returned to Costco, never will buy another Dyson. Just bought a Sebo K3 which comes with a parquet floor brush which is gentle on hardwood floors.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum for Hardwood Floors and Carpet ->I just returned a V15 because the seal in the canister broke after about a month. Also the laser fluffy brush sits so close to hardwood floors, and the laser side was scraping on some of my beveled edges of my hardwood floors which are less than 2 years old. I just bought a Sebo K3, which comes with the parquet brush for wood floors.
r/VacuumCleaners • what is best vacuum for rugs and wood floors? ->I have to agree with this. Returned my V15 because the fluffy brush was not gentle on my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. Bought a Sebo which is gentle on my wood floors as it comes with a nice parquet floor brush.
r/dyson • Best Dyson Stick Vacuum ->Personally I just got myself the SEBO K3 and let me tell you that thing is a beast. I can’t believe how good the power head is on carpet. It just glides and pushes itself. It’s such a far cry from what I’m used to honestly. I think it would be perfect for your situation. I got mine for $599. Free shipping and with a 10 year warranty. It was an open box unit but it’s clean. The 10 year warranty made me bite the bullet in that unit because like you I just want something I know isn’t going to crap out DM me if you want the details on the deal I got btw. Usually it’s like $849 new I think
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for huge house, hardwood + 5000 sqft rug/carpet ->Any Sebo with the power head. I have a K3 Premium and it makes the carpet look like new every time. It's not bagless but I honestly see bagless as a disadvantage these days.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum Cleaner for Carpet ->they have a lot of problems and are expensive to repair. take a look at the sebo lineup, i have their k3 model myself and vastly prefer it over any of the miele options.
r/VacuumCleaners • Miele - Why so many bad reviews despite high regard here in community? ->price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums. every time i have to look up a part for a miele vacuum i already know it’s going to cost 3x-4x what it should.
r/VacuumCleaners • [REVIEW] Miele Vacuums are a joke ->Several good choices in your budget. SEBO Felix if you prefer an upright. If a canister is more what you are looking for the SEBO K3 is a right at the top of your budget, but it's SEBO's least expensive canister option that fits your needs. The Miele C1 Cat and Dog is another great canister that fits in your budget.
r/VacuumCleaners • Need helping picking a Vacuum. Looking for suggestions! ->Sebo, Henry, Miele, Lindhaus all make BIFL level machines. They're expensive, but 20+ years of service is common with these brands. Sebo machines even come with a 10 year warranty when you get them from a dealer. Can't go wrong with anything from these brands. Go to a brick and mortar vacuum store and avoid big box store brands like Shark and Dyson.
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->Get the Wessel Werk RD285 head for your area rugs and hard floors. This has no bristles for hair to get tangled in and has excellent performance on hard floors. You'll still need a electric powerhead for the wall to wall carpet though So consider the usual suspects of Miele C1 Cat and Dog, one of the C3s, a Sebo E3 or K3 canister, Sebo Felix, or a Lindhaus HF6 or Valzer. And consider the above floorhead on top of that
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum for multi-pet household? ->We just bought a used Sebo E3, and are very happy with it. A long-haired human, and 2 cats, with mostly carpet. Unfortunately neither Miele nor Sebo have a "tangle-free" brushroll. But for the Sebos, the ET-1 electric powerhead brush roll removes easily (squeeze one spot, and twist, to remove the cover, then slide the brush roll out). That could be a nice feature for you, to make it easy to clean the brushroll each time. The Sebo K3 offers basically the same cleaning performance, I think, but is cheaper than the E3. An older design, and smaller bags, but still well-proven. The good Miele and Sebo units are bagged, so there are fewer filters to deal with. Once the bag is finally full, toss it and slap in another one. The bag does most of the filtering; for Sebo, I've seen advice to replace the other filters every 15-20 bags, which for most folks would be a very long time.
r/VacuumCleaners • Why am I going through a vacuum cleaner every 2 years? ->We broke down and bought the Sebo K3 canister vacuum. It was pricey, but it has a ten-year warranty and really works well on lab hair. We got tired of buying $200-$300 vacuums that broke after 2-3 years. The Sebo has been a life changer.
r/labrador • Lab owners, what’s your favorite vacuum? Ours went out and we need a new one that’s great for dog hair ->I agree with SiXX5150, for majority carpet you'll need a vacuum with a powered brushroll so that it can properly clean the carpet. None of the Mieles on sale have a carpet powerhead, the Mieles with a carpet powerhead are the [Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog](https://www.mieleusa.com/product/10639470/canister-vacuum-cleaners-classic-c1-cat-and-dog-powerline-sbbn0-lotus-white) $789 and the [Miele C3 Kona](https://www.mieleusa.com/product/10014580/canister-vacuum-cleaners-complete-c3-kona-powerline-sgfe0-obsidian-black) $1159. The C1 has a shorter cord and a tool clip, the C3 has a slightly longer cord and a tool storage compartment. Both have the same carpet powerhead. Other options are the [Sebo K3](https://classicvac.com/sebo-airbelt-k3-premium-white/) $849 and the [Sebo E3](https://classicvac.com/sebo-airbelt-e3-premium-arctic-white/) $1049. I really prefer the easier maintenance and longer 10-year warranty from Sebo over the Miele C1 and C3. The K3 is the older model so it's a little cheaper, it has an offset hose, a 2-step upholstery tool, a bottom bag door, and a tug to rewind cord. The E3 has a center mounted hose, easier upholstery tool, top bag door, and a cord rewind button. Another option if you want a very lightweight vacuum is the [Karcher Ranger](https://www.kaercher.com/us/commercial/vacuum-cleaners/upright/ranger-10129000.html) $199. This is a lightweight upright vacuum similar to an Oreck. The Ranger has carpet height adjustment however it has no hose or tools and an awkward side mounted power button. It's not quiet like the Miele and Sebo canisters because of the direct/dirty fan design.
r/VacuumCleaners • /r/VacuumCleaners Monthly Deals & Marketplace - February 01, 2025 ->you can find the nv360 on sale for $100, that would be the way to go. i am super allergenic, have a nv360, sebo k3, and roborock q revo. the nv360 with the power brush will get the job done. just clean it outside your apartment.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which Shark vacuum should I buy? ->I agree. We have had our K3 for 21 years now.
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo E3 Real World Review ->The E3 has a different hose from the K3/C3.1. The wider diameter of the taper gives it a bit of a stiffer feel near the base of the canister in my experience. It'll probably get more flexible with age (as these crushproof hoses do) and ultimately isn't a big deal to me, but I can pretty quickly tell the difference between the tapered and uniform diameter hoses when I'm using these machines.
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo E3 Real World Review ->With the Miele, upgrading to a powered head would involve purchasing an electric hose,wand and power brush, which is pricey. If you truly want/need a powered nozzle, look at the units already equipped and then compare them to the Sebo k3/e3. The Mieles are more refined units in terms of user friendliness, but the Sebos are very nice units without the bells and whistles. It all depends on what you prefer for your vacuuming style. The Sebo bags are both smaller than the Miele bags, but the e1 is closer in size. The Sebo has a clip attachment for the dusting brush to go on the wand while the Miele attachments are all stored on the canister. The Sebo cords are a foot longer than the Miele. The Miele has 3 different parking spots for wand nozzles, while the Sebo has 2. The Miele has push button suction selection that can be operated by hand or foot while the Sebo has a dial selection which is only practically used by hand.
r/VacuumCleaners • Need some help choosing a bagged vacuum cleaner (UK) ->Love my SEBO airbelt. My house is a lot bigger than 1400sq so I'd go with a Miele (the one made in Germany if possible). You can buy generic bags on Amazon. Can't go wrong with SEBO or Miele.
r/BuyItForLife • best bifl vacuum cleaner? ->I trust vacuum recommendations on the internet (and Reddit) as much as I do mattress recommendations. The Carpet and Rug Institute, whose board includes members from companies like Shaw and Mohawk who manufacture carpet (https://carpet-rug.org/about-us/board-of-directors/), maintains a certified list of vacuums (https://carpet-rug.org/soa-vacuums/). You can filter by residential and commercial. Of course there are good vacuums that aren't certified. I have no affiliation with them but do happen to own a bagged Hoover WindTunnel (2006), two Riccar uprights (\~2017, one was a gift), and a Sebo canister vac. I can get the Riccar and Sebo serviced nearby and I stock some spare parts, for example the Riccar brush roll has replaceable brush strips.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->There are a handful of vacuums that can clean the Mohawk SmartStrand Silk “soft carpet.” 1. Kirby (with the optional delicate brush roll I presume) 2. Miele C3 with the SEB228; used to be a SoftCarpet model but it wasn’t much different from the other C3s. 3. Sebo vacs with the ET-1 nozzle (adjustable suction, manual carpet height adjustment) with the delicate brush roll 4. Kenmore Elite canister 5. Rainbow SRX with v1.0 and v1.2 power nozzle + soft brush roll 6. SoniClean - I think those are the vacs that have a vibrating pad instead of a revolving brush roll There are more, but these are a few of them. Adjustable carpet height paired with adjustable suction are must have features for those types of carpet, but I like them for any type of carpet.
r/VacuumCleaners • Soniclean ->I could have sworn it was LT-1. It’s ET-1. I was referring to the electric power nozzle used on their canisters, and the Dart/Felix uprights. It’s also available for central vacs.
r/VacuumCleaners • Soniclean ->Sebo powerhead. So incredibly easy to clean. I also had great luck with the Shark duoclean powerfin system but the actual vacuum was a dumpster file. Didn’t last a year. I also learned I prefer bagged vacuums to help trap and contain the allergies, dust, hair. My Sebo canister has four levels of filtering on it. My Dyson smells like it has none.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for pet hair in 2025? Need something that actually sucks (in a good way) ->Try the Sebos with the ET-1 head. The roller comes out super easily and is direct drive. My dog doesn’t she’d, but my wife and daughters do!
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->The comment regarding the handle creaky sounds and audible air leak... I have found the audible air leak in multiple Miele canisters (over the years) AND Sebo. I don't think this is a change from previous models I've used. It just seems to be a reality that they don't see as a significant concern (ie. likely to not affect performance in a meaningful way, but preventing it would probably require fittings that would likely add cost, decrease dependability, and in the very least, wear down with not much use to the point that they ultimately start leaking). I really don't think it likely makes a noteworthy difference and they know the benefit:cost situation. As for the creaky handle -with even slight "give" in it, I have definitely noted it, but again, I believe it is one of those, "it doesn't actually affect anything in a meaningful way, but it does allow for the fit and connections as intended" situations. I could be wrong, but if it were an issue, I think warranty costs alone would discourage them from continuing with the practice. BUT, again, there is no doubt, that it is a very real thing. I haven't had an issue with the swivel of the ET-1 but prefer how light and maneuverable it feels to me. The low profile is also much better than \*most\* of the high end power heads I've used. Thank you for the review and thoughts. It is nice to hear about experiences!
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo E3 Real World Review ->none, save your money and get a vacuum that isn't overpriced and unreliable like every shark is, for $400 you can get a really decent spec miele or sebo, both of which are fantastic for carpets
r/VacuumCleaners • Which Shark vacuum should I buy? ->My Sebo was around that, but should last long enough to be less money than buying multiple vacuums.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->Go to a mom and pop vacuum store and you’ll be surprised to find Dyson and Shark absent. But you’ll see plenty of Miele and Sebos amongst a few other names you’d never think of. The reason being is these vacuums are serviceable and repairable and more importantly bagged. Bagged vacuums tend to last longer in general.
r/BuyItForLife • best bifl vacuum cleaner? ->Very interesting, I thought Dyson was the most hated on Reddit. I spent months to read comments and ended up with Sebo. Used Dyson before and it was mid.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->I can't tell you how much I love Costco. But sorry, I love my Sebo. My GSD destroyed my Dyson after 8 years. Still a solid choice though.
r/Costco • Which Vacuum Cleaner to buy? ->SEBO any model.
r/VacuumCleaners • What's the best vacuum currently in existence, price not relevant? ->Same here. My Dysons kept dying on me after 2-3 years even with good maintenance because of all the pet hair that would clog them up. Never going back to bagless, and never have to clean a filter again. Change a bag every 2-3 months, and I'm good to go. Sebo is an absolute god send if you have pets.
r/Costco • Which Vacuum Cleaner to buy? ->The Miele, Henry, and Sebo vacs are the only ones worth a damn on this list. If you want a real BIFL vac and are willing to shell out, get a Lindhaus.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->+1 Miele and Sebo vacuums are really really fantastic. They are on a different level of ability to vacuum. But they are not nearly as convenient, and unless you really really love vacuuming, a really good vacuum that is ridiculously convenient is going to be used a lot more than an even better vacuum that is less convenient. The Dyson stick vacuums are so convenient that you end up using it more, and you therefore end up with a cleaner place and more enjoyable living experience.
r/Costco • Which Vacuum Cleaner to buy? ->I spend 1200 on a sebo and don't regret it one bit
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->I’m not a Miele fan either. It’s waaay to echo-chambered around here. I much prefer Sebo.
r/VacuumCleaners • [REVIEW] Miele Vacuums are a joke ->When we bought our Karastan carpet, there was a vacuum recommendation on the website. We already had a Sebo, and weren't about to purchase something else. We also don't have high pile. I previously saw they recommended Soniclean, but for all I know, it could have been a tie-in for financial reasons more than they really thought it was better than anything else.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum for thick high pile carpet with dogs? ->SEBO. Love mine, my sister has had hers for 15+ years.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the Best Vacuum Cleaner that Actually Lasts? ->Sebo is less expensive to own and will last longer than a Miele. Sebo durability is legendary. Sebo has vastly better parts support and customer service than Miele. Miele won't sell you parts directly. They force you to use a dealer who will charge you out the hooter and some won't even sell you parts.. They want you to leave the vacuum with them to fix, even simple things like replacing a worn out brush roll. Some Aerus and Riccar dealers do this too. Sebo will sell you any part you want and a real human answers the phone and will answer your questions. Sebo has a lot nicer attachments too. Miele attachments look they came off a budget Bissell. Sebo attachments are high quality.
r/VacuumCleaners • Can someone please recommend the best HEPA vacuum available on the market? ->If filtration is your primary concern the best filtered vacuum, not the most powerful or easiest to use, but best filtered is the Patriot from Schoettler Research and Engineering in Huntington Beach CA. They have this huge round HEPA filter on them that looks uglier than sin but there isn't a better filtered household vacuum made. They cost a lot unless you buy a used one off eBay ( what I would do ) are simple and last forever, but can be frustrating to use until you adapt to it. Old man Schoettler used to be the President of Interstate Engineering, the company that made Tristar vacuums. He went out on his own and starting making his own vacuum that is a lot like a classic old Tristar EX-20. Not the most powerful thing ever made but solid, dead reliable, well filtered and clumsy to empty sometimes until you get a groove going. They sell them with a Sebo ET-1 power nozzle which is what I would buy. They also offer a Wessel-Werk EBK360 but I think you find that one too aggressive for your rugs. The Sebo with the soft green bristle brush roll would be ideal.
r/VacuumCleaners • Can someone please recommend the best HEPA vacuum available on the market? ->Don't go by the pricing on the Sebo website. The only reason I ended up getting one is because the pricing was much less from a local dealer.
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->I am getting a Sebo for my next vacuum. I like the look of the Miele and the light on the power head, but I think Sebo is a better value and still BIFL.
r/BuyItForLife • best bifl vacuum cleaner? ->I have had my Sebo for 20+ years and still going strong. Take it in every few years for a tune up!
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->Get a Sebo. Literally any Sebo.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->Sebo. It’s the new Electrolux. I went from electrolux (40 years of service, inherited from my mom) which was amazing, to a Miele (20 years of service, inherited from step mom) to a Dyson Animal. The Dyson lasted 12 years before I got sick of it. I bought a Sebo! I’m 58 and I won’t need another vacuum before I die.
r/homeowners • Best (cost/performance) vacuum cleaner? ->I was going to get a miele but the reviews deterred me two years ago. Dug more and saw sebo is cheaper to repair/maintain with comparable performance so I got that instead. It was just at a local vacuum shop, not at costco so I wouldn't really be catching a steep sale like I would at costco. No regrets though. Also got a sebo to universal adapter for lots of random attachments off amazon (though you can do that with any brand). Very pleased.
r/VacuumCleaners • Miele - Why so many bad reviews despite high regard here in community? ->I’ve been happy with our Sebo.
r/goldenretrievers • Any recommendations on good Vacuums pretty please ->I have a Sebo and really like it, but just generally would recommend a bagged vacuum over a bagless upright. They seem convenient, but after years of using a dyson, it's so NICE to throw the bag of stinky (I have a golden retriever XD) dog hair into the trash and not have it funking up the whole vacuum, forever. Completely pulling apart and having it professionally serviced never got all the doggy smell out of the dyson. Newer dysons are also absolute junk compared to a dyson from 10-15 years ago.
r/samoyeds • Ok fellow Samoyed owners, what vacuum do you use? ->I cannot overstate how much I love my Sebo. Does great on tile, wood, and carpet. Lightweight, effective, and put my Dyson Animal to shame. Does fantastic with dog hair.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for huge house, hardwood + 5000 sqft rug/carpet ->I'm a professional cleaner. Shark 100%. Dyson and Sebo do similar but they're more expensive. Sebo has a HEPA filter in it.
r/torties • Vaccume cleaner suggestions SPECIFICALLY for pet hair? ->I have a Sebo. They're made in germany and definitely a buy it for life item. Mine has a 10 year warranty and can be services at your local vacuum store. I use mine basically every day.
r/torties • Vaccume cleaner suggestions SPECIFICALLY for pet hair? ->Sebo are bullet proof, great for pethair
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->I have a Kirby and a sebo both are bullet proof but I love my sebo if a vacuum can be considered refined it a sebo
r/BuyItForLife • Best vacuum cleaner? ->I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. (Actually more than that because I didn’t tell people I also have 3 cats haha) Someone with a husky commented that they replace the bag 1.5-2 times a month. Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me) I am taking that into account with replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) but it doesn’t have a bag or a Sebo that has a 10 year warranty but I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period with the amount I’d be spending on bags. I haven’t decided yet 🙃 but thought I’d share the numbers.
r/VacuumCleaners • Need recommendations for a decent vacuum cleaner ->A Sebo could survive longer. I've seen Sebos go through tons of shit and still perform like new. Not to trash on Miele, Miele's are great vacuums, and I would recommend them. But a Sebo is blowing the Miele out of the water with durability in a commercial setting.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->Look, I love Kenmore, but they are expensive to repair and they no longer make my roller brush. The 2 brushes I did buy were $200. I could’ve bought a Sebo for the price of the vacuum and two roller brushes. Sebo vacuums are cheaper to repair and just better all around.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for pet hair in 2025? Need something that actually sucks (in a good way) ->We recently got a Sebo and I love it so so so much. Love the bagged vacuum. And the air smells so clean after.
r/bernesemountaindogs • Best Vacuum?! ->Do you have a dealer nearby? go try them, Sebo for the win in my book, I had so many issues with Miele during covid and for few years after, parting out hoses and wands to other companies
r/VacuumCleaners • What is the best BIFL vacuum cleaner ->Sebo. For starters, a 7-10 year warranty on motor and non-wear parts. No other vacuum company stands behind their product the way they so (not even Miele these days.) Shark has never been a BIFL brand (they ever don't sell replacement parts when something breaks-which something always does within a few years-except for hoses and filters.) Dyson spends tons of money marketing their machines but the quality has declined A LOT the past decade and their warranty/replacement policy is a headache (check the Dyson sub for all kinds of takes on that.) Any bagless machine is NOT going to be a BIFL machine. They're mostly machines sold with buzzwords and many smoke and mirrors.
r/BuyItForLife • best bifl vacuum cleaner? ->Sebo and Miele are BIFL. Dyson is not BIFL. If you buy a Sebo, the manual comes with an exploded parts diagram where you can buy each and every part. Dyson does not have this because when something breaks, they want you to buy a new vacuum. Same goes for Shark, Bissell and other bagless garbage that people keep recommending.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->My Sebo has been going without problems for 20 years now
