SEBO - BS 360

I love my Sebo 360. I've had it for a good few years. It's been knocked about a bit, but it works just as good as the day it was made. Easy to maintain and has never let me down. Can't go wrong.

SEBO is by a mile the best make. They are industrial products. Built like tanks, they cost as much too.

Mostly Sebo - Karcher - Windsor Sensor I'd say are the best commercial upright vacuums on the market. Sebo is top tier in terms of warranties. I've heard mix things with how Karcher does business. Riccar is a pretty solid vacuum. Not all of them are made in the US though. Vacuum repair shops won't hate you for bringing them in for repair. I'm not sure how well Riccar is these days for holding up to their warranties; especially commercially. I think this is a big issue in the US right now. For backpack vacuums, I like Hoover's Commercial battery powered line. And Karcher's new battery line - very light weight.

SEBO and Miele are commercial grade vacuums, and they focus on suction quality build quality and longevity. They don’t do flashy colorful gimmicks like you see on Dyson and shark. Gimmicks don’t last long. They tend to wear much quicker such as the little blades on the brush roller on the shark and Dyson that “prevent“ hair from tangling up on the roller. Then they generally come with a fabric roller that gets dirty and has to be washed. And they have not worked very well. They work only OK. Like I said, those are gimmicks and shark and Dyson are generally infomercial vacuums that are advertised heavily on home shopping networks such as QVC and HSN. Gimmicks sell but gimmicks don’t last. When a company puts more emphasis on gimmicks the quality of the vacuum generally is not that great which is why shark and Dyson don’t last very long before they need replacing.

I’m happy for you that you’re happy OP, but I can’t believe I’m saying this but as much as I have loved Miele they are going in a completely different direction that I don’t like. It’s a Vacuum, not a smartphone, but all this Bluetooth and app downloading nonsense and the LCD screen is silly. On top of that Miele is outsourcing parts for several of their newer machines. I can’t recommend anything but SEBO.

I don’t have pets, but the Miele vac is what I have for 15 years and it worked perfectly for the full 15 years before it started showing its age. Never once broke down. Nothing ever got stuck in it. The Miele models of today are not as great unless you buy their mid tier or higher end. Today I’m using a SEBO and love it even more than the Miele.

I went sebo (E3) over miele due to: cheaper, better warranty, cheaper parts and repair, and sebo does one thing (make vacuums)... suprised theres no sebo dealer nearby, I recommend trying to fine one even if its a drive. Think of SEBO like volkswagen, and MIELE like BMW. the variety of responses here are proof positive of TRY BEFORE BUY I tried miele, sebo uprights, sebo felix, sebo canister. disliked the felix immediately upon trying, despite my mind leaning felix during the online research phase! I'm a total convert from upright to canister (or at least sebos version of it) but you need to assess if you can handle the quirks of a canister. downsides of a canister: 1) one more thing to keep track of (I got used to it fast, I just kick it around or pull it by the hose) 2) harder to store (pending a good solution to this...) 3) heavier to take up the stairs (but easier to actually vacuum said stairs) Upsides of the canister: 1) lighter IN HAND (the weight of the vacuum is supported by the floor, not your hand, in use). 2) cord rewind (wrapping up cords after a upright vacuum session sucks, the SEBO you just unplug and step on the retract button. 3) much easier to do top to bottom detail vacuuming (fans, vents, dusting, cabinets, walls, pictures, shelves, dusting), wand/hose mode reaches many more high places and without tipping over the upright. 4) easier to maneuver the power head. yes you gotta maneuver the canister into position, but once you do you can get that powerhead into alot more difficult to reach places (under beds, couches, rugs, tables). Easier to maneuver the canister than moving furniture. I'm over cordless due to wall to wall carpet, the time limit (good for quick pickups only), and I really dislike the cleaning/washing/emptying of bagless machines (which most cordless are). The whole reason I vacuum is to GET RID of dust, dirt and nastiness... why do I wanna go touching and breathing it later... in concentrated form, bathing in a big ol dust cloud?!

Twenty seven years ago we purchased a Eureka canister that broke within a year. We ended up with a Miele. That thing still runs and I use it to clean my unfinished basement twice a year. My new Miele canister lives on my first floor for hardwood and my Sebo upright in s upstairs for carpeting. The Sebo is heavy but it’s a beast that will definitely outlive me. I now have two very cheap cordless vacuums that I use like Dustbusters. I’ve never understood why people buy that Dyson crap. There are complaints everywhere. There’s a difference between a company that spends money on engineering and quality and one that spend it on advertising. Dyson spends it on advertising. I’d vote for Miele everyday.

Basically doesn’t exist according to your specifications. Anti-tangle brushrolls don’t work and are a marketing gimmick and bagless vacuums don’t last long. A decent long lasting vacuum is going to be bagged, corded and fairly expensive. Look at Sebo uprights, Riccar R25, etc. Something cheaper, look at something like the Kenmore Elite

You’ll save money. If you buy a Dyson or Shark you’ll have to spend another 200 or 300 bucks in a few years. If you buy a Sebo, you will be set for 10 to 20 years.

If you’re spending 800 on a Dyson just spend that on a Sebo or Miele and you’re good for 10+ years lol

Check out Sebo. Their uprights are excellent.

Check out r/vacuumcleaners As mentioned Miele and Sebo are top brands. You can safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. They’re garbage. As is anything bagless.

Vacuum wars is a paid shark shill and not to be trusted. Hell Chris even appeared in a shark commercial. BIFL vacuums absolutely exist. They’re corded and bagged made by brands like Miele and Sebo.

If suction and filtration are your main concern, a *bagged* Miele is your best bet. Sebo is also excellent. What’s your flooring like? I wouldn’t even consider Dyson, they’re junk.

Miele, Sebo, Henry, Lindhaus. Shark and Dyson are garbage. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

You want to ask r/vacuumcleaners. Miele or Sebo is the correct answer. Corded and bagged. Safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. Find a local dealer and take a few Miele’s and sebos for a test drive. Specifically the Sebo dart if it’s mostly for carpet.

I hate robot vacuums. They’re so loud and I have stairs and they get lost (or used to anyway.) I have three vacuums. An upright SEBO upstairs, a stick on my middle floor (tile) and a canister in my basement (Miele)

V11 and later versions of their cordless perform ok for thick carpets. You have to open the front gates to relieve pressure. If you have a lot of carpet, you have to learn to stop cleaning your entire home in one go. If you really want a Dyson, I would personally only get the Ball Animal 3 for your thick carpets. It also works really well for hard floors. You should watch Vacuum War's review on it to see if it fits your needs. DO NOT get any other version of Dyson uprights, they are horrible and only work on very specific types of carpets. Otherwise, a Sebo upright is my next recommendation if you don't mind bagged.
