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.

Around your budget: Simplicity allergy However, if you can splurge a Sebo dart is excellent. The brushroll pops out on 2 seconds with no tools for easier hair removal.

Simplicity Allergy upright would be my pick for a high performance upright. Might not work on laminate that well 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.

SEBO Dart is an excellent choice. If you anticipate hard flooring in your future, the SEBO Felix would be more future proof and offers a nicer feature set over the Dart (at a cost of course). As for cheaper options I love the Simplicity Allergy or Kenmore Elite 31150.

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 👍.

I wish I’d known about the Simplicity Upright Allergy Vacuum (S20EZM is the model number) when I had my little apartment with two cats. You could get the upgraded pet hair tool and still come out ahead in price of the Dyson. Bagged (so no gross canister to dump out), corded for steady power (Dyson batteries don’t last), metal brushroll to pound dust out of rugs, and lightweight at 16 pounds.

You are correct that Sharks break quickly and then they aren't repairable. Some people get lucky and their Sharks last a while but when those break they are still unrepairable. Bissell has a lot of bagless vacuums that aren't any better than Shark except Bisell sells replacement belts and brushrolls. Then Bissell has some bagged and commercial vacuums that are better but many don't have brushroll shutoff until you get to some of the more expensive ones. For carpet and tile you want a spinning brushrol with the ability to turn it off. The Simplicity Allergy Upright S20EZM $250-280 comes to mind, it will be good on carpets but the brushroll doesn't shutoff so it's isn't the best for hard floors. The Kenmore Elite Upright $250-300 is a powerful upright for carpets with brushroll shutoff for hard floors, but it's a heavier vacuum. The Lavex 15" Dual Motor Upright $269 is a ProTeam ProForce XP1500 clone. The Lavex is a commercial upright vacuum with a carpet powerhead and brushroll shutoff for hard floors. The long cord is nice but a 50 ft. cord can get heavy. It's a pigtail connection so you could swap a shorter 30 ft. extension cord on it to lighten the vacuum. I hear they don't last as long as a ProTeam but it's also half the cost. The Prolux 9000 Upright $324 is a little over but also a tempting option. It's a durable upright with brushroll shutoff. Nothing really ground breaking. Ideally I'd want a Sebo Dart $549 but they are more expensive. They're a great option if you want the longest lasting, easy to repair, and popout brushroll for easy hair removal. What do you think?

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.

Nothing in the price range is going to be built great or easily repaired. If that's your price range honestly just get what you like and be prepared to buy something else ina year or two. If you can spend a little more the simplicity s20ezm would do you well.

Kenmore 600 or Simplicity S20EZM. Simplicity isn't the absolute best on bare floors but it is a smidgen less than the Kenmore 600. You won't find either in store, but there's a pretty good chance that a vacuum shop will have both models to look at and possibly try

Rereading the part about not having a preference between bagged or canister, I want to clarify that the kenmore I recommended does have a bag. Sorry if I was confusing about that at all. For upright I still recommend the Simplicity. A lower entry Riccar would be great too, but it might be a bit above your budget (I admit I don’t know the price of them off the top of my head)

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

Best allergy vacuum under 300 is [Simplicity](https://amzn.to/4ocRPis). They are made for allergy sufferers and work on both carpet and hard flooring

1. Bagless is a mistake 2. Cheap bagless is foolish 3. You can get a great bagged vac with Simplicity starting at 169 for the Jill Or 269 EZM60 Bagless vacuums are not BFL.

While Sebo and Miele's are great vacuums, there's no need to spend that much money. Simplicity and Kenmore make really good uprights. That will work on every floor surface and are very durable machines decently priced. Sorry you had to deal with the dyson...

The simplicity or kenmore uprights are pretty good and seem to hold up. Section remains strong even as the bag fills up. Both have attachments that are pretty good
