Simplicity - S20EZM Allergy Upright

Primary: Simplicity allergy or Kenmore elite upright Secondary: LG A9 or bissell airram MSRP is above 150 but maybe Black Friday will bring the pricing down. Keep an eye out. Other than that, check the automod for cordless recs.

I have a Simplicity upright corded vacuum and a lower end Dyson for quick jobs. The Simplicity is a great corded vacuum. Not cheap though.

Simplicity Allergy!

The S20EZM.

The model is Allergy, more specifically it's the S20EZM. Fantastic vacuum for the price. We picked one up for my GF a few weeks ago and she loves it. The brushroll does not shut off is the only thing I see that doesn't meet your wishlist though.

The Simplicity Allergy is a touch above that $200 mark with Black Friday sales and is my favorite budget machine for primarily carpet cleaning. If you can't stretch the extra dough take a look at the Kenmore Intuition line, BU4050 and BU4022 specifically. Both machines have all the accessories you need and cleaning wands.

The Miele you have is not intended for carpet so don't go with that. And it makes zero sense to replace a garbage cordless Shark with a garbage corded Shark. Take a look at the Simplicity S20EZM. It doesn't have a brush roll shut off but it does have manual height adjustment and HEPA filtration. If you have a Sebo dealer near you then Dart is $400 until 12/3 and that is a great vacuum for carpet and bare floors.

So we joke about how much this sub really loves Sebo lol, but in your case, I would say Sebo models Essential G4, Automatic X4, or the commercial equivalents which are approximately $200 cheaper, the Sebo mechanical 300 or it's American version, Windsor xp-12. These are going to start around $600-700 unless you find one used, but these are the famous hospital / hotel vacuums that you'll see all around the world. The filtration is seriously THAT GOOD. The bags are HEPA material, then there's another HEPA filter that follows that, and another HEPA filter after the motor, and the suction power is absolutely ridiculous! Built to last forever. That's a steep price however, and not realistic for many families. You'll probably have just as good of luck with this one, a Simplicity model. It uses similar material bags, is also powerful and lightweight, and is going to be adequate for most homes and allergy kids. I've used one and found it to be a really good machine. $260 https://a.co/d/3iHNxMu If I'm still out of price range, just know that you can get HEPA media bags and filters for pretty much all bagged vacuums these days. The main idea isn't the cost of the machine, it's that the bag catches all those tiny micron particles and seals them in there. As long as you change them often, they are going to do their job well 👍.

Under 200 is a tough ask for this. Most basic vacuums trip up on dog hair, their suction just isn’t built to be that strong cos wherever there’s dog hair, there’s A LOT of it. I’d say look for something with a powerful motor and a lot of bristles, so it can brush through the rug to sift out the dog hair. [This one from simplicity](https://fairbrandreviews.com/dp-B08YKGN9VY98) is a good one to look at, it’s hot a HEPA filter so most of the particles, even the tiniest ones, are getting sucked up and filtered out, kinda like an air purifier but for your floors lol. The motor’s decently powered so suction’s great and it works on rugs and hardwood. Just be sure to go slow over your rugs. Sometimes the issue isn’t even with the vacuum, it's just that you have to give it a bit of time over the area so it can pick everything up. This one’s made for pet hair so it comes with a little dusting brush for your sofas and stuff so you can brush the hair out of those too. Its a little over 200 dollars but worth it I think.

If you are all carpet get the simplicity allergen and it’s lower than your budget… will last way longer… and clean 10x better!

This is my FAVORITE budget machine for customers with wall to wall carpet. If you want to vacuum hard floor you may want something else, just because you can’t turn the brush roll off. But for carpet, I love the s20EZM

I’ve had a Simplicity for over 10 years. It’s the upright and it is excellent on both carpets and hard surfaces. But doesn’t work well on stairs. For me the only drawbacks are it’s heavy and because of the cord placement the cord gets in the way a lot. There’s no trouble with pet or human hair wrapping around the beater bar. It’s running as well today as when we bought it.
