Any miele or sebo cylinder would be a great choice. Either can be optioned with a dedicated hard floor brush with no brushbar, no wheels even. And the cylinders themselves have soft rubberized wheels. Best all around option for delicate hard floors.

Totally fair, I only suggest dyson as their cordlesses do genuinely preform well. Miele and sebo are fantastic choices corded vac wise.

Wattage doesn't matter. Really, it doesnt. Motor design, airpath design, quality of construction, proper design of the cleaning head all factor in greatly. Vacuums are not less effective now, they are simply more energy efficient and don't heat up the room (which is where all that wasted energy went). Even Airwatt numbers can be misleading, because again the floorhead itself is so critical in the performance. High airwattage doesn't matter if it's applied inefficiently to the surface. Avoid shark, build quality is poor and repairability is nonexistent. But yes a corded model is going to be more reliable in the long run. Pretty much any Miele or Sebo corded machine will be a good choice. They are well made, powerful, reliable. Your ikea rug probably advises against using a motorized rotating brush attachment, both miele and sebo's standard floorheads would suit that rug.

The airstorm, while good, is no better than a miele or sebo. I wouldn't pay the premium. Mieles and sebos are also sealed to trap dust. They are also more modern in design and easier to use (they have cord rewind while the air storm does not). There's nothing really bespoke about the airstorm. Underneath the top shell, the power nozzle is the same as ones avaliable for Miele models. The hose and other tools are generic off-the-shelf supplies etc. While it would probably last you a long time and do a good job, you might resent using it. I'd strongly suggest you try one in person before choosing, and frankly I'd save money and go with a nicer to use miele/sebo.

Sebo would be a good choice as an all in one vacuum replacement. But a suitable model would be a little over your price range. And sebos are dry vacuums only. As for the floor washing things, they work pretty well for mopping floors but are not an all-in-one solution in my opinion. I have a similar machine but I always vacuum first before using it. For one, they aren't as good as an actual vacuum. They don't pull dirt from corners well. And they are a complete mess to clean out when you're done if you don't vacuum ahead of time. In that way, they don't really save much work imo. And they don't work on carpet of course. So I'm not sure there's really an all-in-one solution I could recommend. If thoroughly cleaning out the floor washing machine each use is something you wouldn't mind doing, that could be worth a try. But you'd still need to vacuum your carpets with something else.

Sebo or miele if you want something high quality which will actually last 15+ years and be repairable should a part wear out. They have high performance and filtration standards. The shark is fine for 3 to 5 years with decent performance. The dyson, being cordless, you should only expect 2-4 years. And it won't have the performance of the others unless used on it's highest but shortest runtime mode. Kinda comparing apples to oranges here. If you need something immediately the shark is probably ok, but if you want something to last definitley go check out miele and sebo.

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.

Ich hab nen günstigen China-Smoture und bin zufrieden. Fürs grobe hab ich noch einen mit Kabel (Sebo)

If you want “buy it for life,” go bagged Sebo or Miele. Everything else is basically disposable.

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.

*Cordless* Vacuums are disposable. **Corded and bagged** vacuums like a Miele or Sebo will last you 2 decades or longer. Ask r/vacuumcleaners

Echoing the other recs of Miele and Sebo. If air quality and cleaning performance are top priorities you absolutely must get something with a **bag**. Bagless HEPA is a sad joke, the dust cup explodes when you empty it and the seals leak after a few heat cycles.

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.

SEBO and Miele are usually the most praised for long term reliability. They cost more upfront but last years. Dyson is convenient but batteries wear out. For true buy it for life, bagged corded models from Miele or SEBO are safest picks.

hmmmm.....the batteries in my Sebo are easy...wait, there are no batteries, nothing to replace, and the cord is way longer than any of my rooms are wide...so I just don't even think about electricity or power with it. enjoy your dysons, though, if you like them and keep everything clean!!

I have a sebo and a hairy dog, and don't notice any odors or stink. I do buy the fragrances sebo sells, though, just as a fun luxury. I enjoy the way they smell, and they're very mild and the scent leaves soon enough. I don't think miele has better filtration- statistically, there's really no diff between the S-class and HEPA in the real world. I've also used HEPA filters in mine on occasion and don't notice any difference.

loving the idea of a cordless vacuum- why?? cords equal electrical current capable of driving powerful motors to clean really well!!! They don't degrade with time, they don't quit right when you need them. They are the miracle of power!! And get a bag, too, while you're at it. Quit falling for marketing! their job is to brainwash you to buy things, but you don't have to fall for it. I've tested both miele and sebo, their 'real' vacuums are both good. I bought a sebo, but if i had half off, I'd prob go for the miele. And I'd get a nice canister with bags and a cord (with auto cord retractors they all have).

i went to buy my first miele once...but walked out of the store with a sebo....which i hadn't heard of before i went into the store....
