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!

I was in full decision paralysis by the time I got to chat with Andrea (geekvacuums). She was up late answering all my questions, answered all my concerns, and just held my hand as I tried to figure out the best decision for my home and family. I never felt pushed and I was so happy that I could support a small business while getting it shipped to me. I love our local stores but none of them provided payment options that worked for our family. For those who need these options, def research and find a small business who Sebo supports. You’ll be able to get a better warranty than their own site or Amazon - plus you can still use the warranty at your local shops even though you don’t get from there. I am so amazed at the performance of this little vacuum. I wasn’t prepared for our carpets to feel this fresh and new after vacuuming 🫣

Sebo is widely regarded as the best vacuum brand for performance and durability. Their residential vacuums are resold as Karcher for commercial customers. If you only have a carpeted area to clean then the Karcher S12 which is equivalent to the Sebo G4 is one of your best bets. It's considered one of the most durable vacuums around with huge bag capacity and excellent filtration. New ones will be $600-700 but you can get used ones in very good condition for under $250 on eBay. Every part is servicable, the roller is removable, bags are pretty cheap.

Dyson V 15 and Sebo owner with two super hairy shorthairs living in a cement floored warehouse with lots of Turkish area rugs. Not sure what your obviously perfect feline does but life with my kitties has its challenges. They are dirt attractants to say nothing of the charms of litter in bare fee. Couldn’t live without the instant availability of a cordless and the 15 is a solid performer in all areas. My rugs do look cleaner after a full Sebo experience but I’m lazy and place is big. I have come to realize you need more than one vacuum, unless you have only one flooring type , don’t have to carry up stairs or navigate a labyrinth of hallways and live in under 1000sq ft.

That might do for you. I got a similar vac, a Titan fron Screwfix and have been very pleased with it. It's very noisy, as it's shop and not domestic. I bought it for dealing with various bits of dust and rubbleand ash, kept it as a general downstairs vac for floors that are brick and stone with rugs. Upstairs we have carpet and pets and I have a Sebo, but that's partly because I'm not prepared to lug the Titan up and down stairs, I need a vac on each floor. I've only used it once as a wet vac but it was very effective at that too. https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb774vac-1300w-16ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-220-240v/826kh

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.

Indeed, the Dyson is ideal for everyday light cleaning in smaller spaces or apartments. A canister vacuum is more suitable for thorough weekly cleaning of a larger home. Unfortunately, I cannot afford both the SEBO I purchased and a €1000 Dyson. I might consider a robot vacuum for automated daily cleaning and mopping in the future, though higher-quality models are also quite costly, similar to the Dyson, and also made in Asia, which I prefer to avoid.

A Henry should be at the top of your list, since it's affordable and manufactured in the UK.  You can use variety of parquet brushes and the horsehair ones would be great for LVP.  A miele or Sebo would be more expensive and would come with extra bells and whistles such as self retracting cords and better ergonomics, storage.  If you need to clean rugs, you can find a turbo attachment.  These options will last you 15+ years.   If you want something cordless, Dyson fluffy rollers are good for quick pickups and won't hurt the flooring.  The V8 absolute package includes a fluffy roller and goes on sale intermittently to be within your budget.  Keep in mind while it might be a space saving option and convenient, cordless stick vacuums usually last a couple of years before big problems arise, hence why the main recommendation is for bagged, plug in vacuums.

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.

I use both Miele and Sebo and have used the new L1. I think your both correct though. The L1 is a good machine but feels a bit flimsy compared to a Miele of 20 years ago. It’s definitely not a D4 but the tech is cool and I the filtration is great along with the aesthetics. The sub does lean toward Sebo but I think they are both wayyyyyyy better than a crappy shark or Dyson and that’s the most important thing for everyone to know. Also Sebo still has not released the cordless unit in the US so the only good one available is the 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.

I’d recommend the SEBO G4. It’s extremely durable and offers a few more features than the 300 Mechanical. It’ll likely be the best vacuum you’ve ever used. The only drawback is that it’s not ideal for hard floors, since the brush roll can’t be turned off. For those areas, you’ll want to use the extension hose and attachments. That said, the G4 lets you manually adjust the brush height, so you can raise it to its highest setting if you occasionally need to vacuum a hard floor — giving the least chance of damaging the surface. The SEBO X7 is also an excellent option. It automatically raises and lowers the head based on the surface it detects, which is convenient but takes away the manual control you get with the G4. The SEBO Felix is another good vacuum. While it isn’t built to the same commercial-grade durability as the G4, 300 Mechanical, or X7, it’s more versatile because it can handle both carpet and hard floors. It may just require a little extra care when vacuuming.

I would caution against buying a Shark. In my experience, what starts off amazing eventually becomes a nightmare, first being a frustrating lack of practical compatible accessories, and eventually leading to a sudden and sharp drop off of inefficiency, irreparability, and lifespan falling well short of cost. We will never buy another Shark product. When we were finally ready to throw in the towel with our Shark, my wife and I spent a couple months studying this subreddit, and eventually planned on buying a Miele, but wanting a SEBO (the Miele seeming on par with a SEBO, but a bit more affordable). After a ton of research and a couple shop visits, and not digging the Miele warranty, but noting how many used and refurbished Mieles were available it seemed that the so-called “honeymoon phase” was too short-lived for too many buyers. So in the spirit of the “buy once -cry once” philosophy, we bought a SEBO, owing in part to the 10 year warranty. While we are ecstatic with the performance of our SEBO, it’s still fairly new to us. But by the time it reaches the end of its warranty phase it will already have proven itself more cost effective than replacing our vacuum with its competitors every 4-ish years. Just my 2 cents (or 2.78¢ adjusted for Canadian currency).

That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.

I couldn't afford a $1400 vacuum if I wanted one but Sebo is way more than 1% gains over a "normal" vacuum. They are also repairable which is a huge factor if BIFL - repair your expensive high quality item instead of buying and disposing X cheaper ones. Everyone has to draw their own line at where X is, before they can't justify the expense. But you did not, in your example, meet any BIFL.

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.

I currently have an upright (salsa and before that jazz) and have also had a canister (C2). But dragging it around was far too obnoxious. I’ve been using a shark for 2 years now as I said and I have yet to have to pull it apart. The Miele I just replaced the belt housing and mount on within the last month or 2 and I’ve already had to pull it apart again to yank hair out. So no I won’t have the same issue. Maybe other issues but not the same one. The way belt on the shark works is different. And like I said didn’t have to do it with my ProTeam or Sebo either. The way Miele has the belt an inch into the roll isn’t conducive to long hair I guess. It sucks it into the housing then wraps around the roller gear and eventually the motor gear as well. ***whoops replied from a different device hence the different name***

I didn’t know you had to be rich to buy the $9 pill box they recommend. Or the hundreds of other products they have under $20. Sorry you can’t afford a quality vacuum or other quality products. But don’t be resentful. Instead, I would focus on increasing your income or learn better budgeting. I only make $40,000/year. I use YNAB and have bought many of Wirecutters Top or Upgrade picks, including a Sebo vacuum. You have to choose what things in life that are priorities and worth spending more on. I don’t think it’s a secret—to anyone with a pulse—that quality cost money. Not always, but usually. It’s okay if certain product is not worth spending a premium on for you personally. But saying Wirecutter is for rich people makes you sound poor and ignorant, and that mindset will guarantee you stay poor for the rest of your life.

Honestly I have hard floors everywhere except my stairs. I own a cheap no name cordless I got on Amazon and a Sebo a friend game me when her parents passed away. The cheap cordless one gets more use because it’s easy- it works exactly the way I need it to when I need it to. It’s been 2 years and it’s going strong. When it breaks, I’ll buy another cheap one. As long as I keep the filter clean, I have zero problems with suction etc. it’s has a beater brush head, height adjustable handle and a few attachments- pretty bare bones. I use the Sebo for cleaning the filter of the other vacuum and for getting my rugs “really” clean when I feel like I need to. One day I may have carpet again or deeper pile rugs and then it will get a lot more use. Until then, the cheap cordless is great!

Yeah I worked as a vacuum tech for years and sold Miele, Sebo and Dysons, But Mieles were in for repair probably the most. All the service techs including me hated them. Way over priced and a royal pain to work on/get parts. The Dyson cordless that that I’ve owned for six years now has worked flawlessly and still gets 40 minutes on charge easily. And also for all the Dysons I’ve recommended to people through the years have all worked amazing. Dyson blows the competition away when it comes to innovation, and the overall product experience, especially the cordless game. Will never go back from Dyson. I do really like Sebo! Just expensive and hate bags/low portability.

I'm probably going to get down voted for this but I'd stay away from Riccar. They aren't what they used to be. SEBO and Miele are the ones that get the most love and for good reason. I prefer SEBO above all because they're 100% German made machines, they have a great ecosystem, are easy to self service and parts are readily available. They have great filtration and bags are inexpensive. As for ZeroG, I'd be skeptical of them. They are a small company and every time I look at their website they are always out of stock. They use proprietary bags that are not available anywhere but their own website. What happens if/when they go out of business? Can't get bags for them and the machine is useless. I will say they make a nice looking machine with awesome features and performance. I'd buy one second hand if I could find one but if I paid full price and couldn't get service or parts then I'd be upset.

Not surprised about the rug. You need raw power to effectively clean a rug like that. Sebo G-series upright. Riccar upright. Etc. Almost any premium level upright will accomplish this task without issue. I prefer Sebo’s quick change rollers for dog hair homes though. Makes cleaning the brush extremely easy. Canisters will work too but most folks don’t want to deal with dragging or carrying a canister around. You tend to get a little more filtration this way. If you want cheaper box store brand, a Shark Navigator/Apex type with duoclean and powerfins. Know these are more plastic and prob won’t last as long as more premium brands. Find a vacuum dealer near you. My local shop markets with the brand name Oreck. They have lots of floor models you can try before you buy. One of the important aspects to check out is weight. Is it comfortable to whomever will be operating it?

I don't think miele has better filtration- statistically, there's really no diff between the S-class and HEPA in the real world.

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).

If you want a powerful vacuum that’ll last decades, get a Miele or a Sebo. Cordless is nice, but you either have a heavy ass battery to move around constantly or you have an underpowered vacuum. Plus there aren’t many battery standards that have stuck around for decades, so you don’t run the chance of needing to replace your vacuum in 5 years just because the batteries aren’t available anymore.

Real vacuum dealerships will not sell Dyson any longer. Many other traditional brands either because those companies have decided to produce in Asia and change designs super fast. It is the OPPOSITE of sustainability, it is planned obsolescence at an incredible level. Vacs should not be bought online and a big box stores, these machines do not clean carpet/air, are designed to fail, can’t be serviced and are literal fire hazards. Man the stories I can tell you about “brand new” machines. Most were manufactured years before they reached the consumer. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Dealerships sell quality machines, built to last, serviceable, at great competitive prices, with warranties that do not cost extra. You can’t find service like that anywhere! Find a dealer and buy Riccar or Sebo.

It comes down to wanting something that is built to last, easy to maintain and repair, and buying a brand that stands behind their product. When you buy a Sebo from an authorized dealer, it comes with a 10 year warranty. You can take it to any Sebo dealer and they’ll fix it for free. You don’t get that at a $150 price point. It’s not like 30 years ago when most products were BIFL. If you want something that lasts and has a good warranty, it costs more. If you don’t care if it lasts and you don’t mind replacing it often, spend $150. It’s that simple.

A Dyson will not last, they are plastic junk, overpriced, over-hyped and junk... Bags have way better filtration, some vacuum brands bags are more expensive than others (like Miele). Most bagless vacuums are junk. Rainbows are a classic, water pan filtration. Old school but can find parts and lots of vintage models, among the brands that people collect. Last forever? Older Kirby, older hoover convertible, older eurekas/sanitares. Anything built before planned obsolescence. But not so old that it's a rare collectible with hard to find parts... Good filtration, noise level and new? Miele or sebo....

I've got them all lol, well not a D4... I got way lost down a rabbit hole trying to find the perfect vacuum. I started with a new E3 and G4. Then started looking at used ones on eBay. Got a K3 used in good shape but no power nozzle. Found a used ET1 power nozzle from a Felix orange in color. It was so disgusting, dog hair in places that just made me wonder how, pretty good coating of dog shit on the brush roll too. It cleaned up pretty good, new brush roll, belt, and bearings. Probably have $150 in that power nozzle, plus a lot of time. I found an orange air belt fabric, the K3 is black, so with the orange power nozzle and air belt against the black canister it looks pretty sharp. I really liked using that little vac, its about the perfect size for our place, nice and lightweight, maneuvers really well etc. Then I found a couple C3.1 models... One ended up as a pure suction, the other a full working model with an ET1. The bags it uses are the same as the G4 so that's handy. What really surprises me is that 20+ year old vacuums can still perform as well as they do. Those C3.1 models still have great suction, new bags and filters help, but gosh what well made vacuums. I'll tell the story about the Miele collection next time. I've been long winded already and my stories have become tiresome. Good chat.

Canisters aren’t better than uprights necessarily, but they tend to be more versatile with hard and mixed flooring. Most uprights have a cleaning head fixed to the machine that can’t be changed to match the flooring you are cleaning. A head with a spinning brush roll isn’t as effective as a head that has a no obstructions (like a brush roll) and a straight air path for hard floors. a cleaning head with a spinning brush roll to agitate is needed for carpets and rugs. On a canister you can change between these two types of cleaning heads to get the most effective cleaning possible. Canisters also leave the bulky pieces of the vacuum behind you, giving you a more nimble lightweight wand and hose to reach into nooks and crannies a bulky upright couldn’t like under beds and furniture or around tight corners. The ELI5 version: Imagine your vacuum has a special “foot” for different floors. Some “feet” have a spinning brush that’s great for carpets, digging out dirt. But that same brush just scatters dirt around on hard floors when it’s spinning or gets in the way when it’s not. Canister vacuums let you change “feet” easily, so you always have the right one. Upright vacuums usually only have the carpet “foot”. Also, canisters are like pulling a little wagon, the heavy part stays behind, so it’s easier to move the hose and get into tight spots. While SEBO and Miele are talked about a ton here, they are premium machines that don’t land in the budget of many people, I say this as a SEBO owner. They’re long lasting and very effective cleaners (buy once cry once). You can absolutely get effective cleaning from a less expensive machine. Your home and needs sounds like the Kenmore 600 series would work really well. It comes with a powered hand tool called the pet powermate that is amazing for furniture and stairs.

If you're cleaning a lot of hardwood floors, I would not do Sebo uprights as they don't have a brushroll shutoff Electric brooms like the Sebo Felix/Dart, Lindhaus Valzer, Healthcare Pro can fit both the hard floor tools and motorized brushrolls from Sebo/Lindhaus Uprights like the Lindhaus Diamante have 2 motors and the brushroll can be turned off for hard floors. Not ideal if hardfloors are your main surface For canisters, Sebo D9 (the commercial version of the D4) and Lindhaus HF6 would be good options for doing it all.

Another left field option. As they are both bagged, I would have no concern buying a second hand machine, if in good condition. Indeed, I have done so, twice. If you replace the bag, filters and clean the pipes, you have essentially a clean, refurbished machine. Particularly with Sebo machines, you can replace virtually everything, including the brush bar very easily, which can’t be done in the Miele. My other concern with the Miele is the bag connector which is meant to close when the compartment closes, doesn’t always close properly, so dirt can escape the bag and fly around the compartment and potentially get past the motor filter. I have a C3 and it has done this on mine. It can be worse with fake bags, but it can happen with genuine bags too. It doesn’t happen with Sebo. Additionally, Sebo’s motors are rated for double the life of Miele’s and Mieles are rated at 4 times the life of Shark’s! Miele does have slightly better filtration, but not that you would notice in the real world. If there are second hand Sebo’s where you are, this may reduce the cost for you. The cleaning performance won’t be any less than a new machine and you can keep it performing as new very easily. I bought my second hand Felix for £10 when the family used it during a renovation to clean up drywall etc about 6 years ago. I changed the bag, filter and brush roll as ell as cleaning the hose and it still works perfectly.

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’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 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.

Sebo. Handles two cats, two German Shepherd mixes, and a lot of my own long thick hair. I very rarely clean the hair out of the roller, but when I do, it's super easy.

Yes, bagless is seen as more economical and more environmental friendly. Although the environmental friendly argument falls apart because it's better to own a bagged sebo vacuum for 10+ years than it is to keep replacing a crappy bagless vacuum every three to four years. I'm not a fan of buying bags, but the sebo cleans better than every other vacuum I've tried. It's also convenient to just throw away a bag as well.

This exactly. We kept our Dyson and use it liked you’d use a Dustbuster. Quick crumb cleanup, sand from the beach, etc. but for cleaning your house you want something better, especially bc the filtration on the Dyson is garbage and dust on the air is not good for you or baby. I went with a Sebo and the filtration is great

Sebo is a great brand for professional cleaners, they're powerful, durable, and repairable. If you just want one vacuum that can clean all floor types then really the Sebo Felix is the best option. The other Sebo uprights don't have brushroll shutoff so some of them can do hard floors but not as well as having brushroll shutoff. Downsides to the Felix are a heavy handle weight and a short built in hose. A Sebo K3 or Sebo E3 are canisters that can do all floor types as well. If you want one of the Sebo uprights that aren't a Felix I'd choose the Sebo Essential G4. I prefer the manual carpet height adjustment, it gives you exactly what you want and is one less motor to break. And I prefer being able to remove the whole brushroll on the G4 instead of just the brushstrips on the Mechanical Series. To clean hard floors you'll need to add the kit with an extension hose, extension wand, and parquet brush. I wouldn't risk using the X7 on hard floors even though it has a squeegee because I wouldn't want to risk being blamed for scratching a client's floors. My ideal setup is 2 vacuums, an upright for the carpets, and a canister for the hard floors and above floor cleaning. I'd get a Essential G4 and a E1 Kombi. Having 2 vacuums can help you finish a job if one vacuum goes down during the job. If the upright goes down the canister can clean carpets (though it takes more work) and if the canister goes down you can finish using the hose on the upright. Also if a job has no carpets just take in the canister and vice versa. Be sure to find a local vacuum store to try them all in person first. What do you think?

When I moved from bagless vacuums to a Miele and a Sebo you'll notice how strong the suction is and how quiet it is compared to the average bagless vacuum. The materials are thicker and nicer. With Sebos I really like how much I can take it apart and replace almost anything myself. Do try one out in person first, many people prefer uprights to canisters. I grew up with Kenmore canister vacuums so I didn't have to adjust how I vacuum.

I am owned by 2 cats myself and currently vacuuming like mad, fighting a flea infestation. Now fleas get everywhere and you need to vacuum not just the floors in the rooms, but also bedding, stairs, and anywhere else the cats possibly go. Currently using a borrowed Sebo upright teamed with a Dyson V15 handheld thingy. The V15 is out of price range (unless used?). Comes with many tools, among them is a small powered brushbar that's excellent for use on stairs themselves. With no hoses or cables, you can clean the stairs very quickly. Even if the V15 is way out of budget, there are the older models like the V7 which to be honest fill the role just as well and are less heavy on the wrist. Now, the Sebo (being a mains powered upright) is a lot more powerful and cleans the rooms nicely but it's much more prone to having the brushbar clog up and the short hose makes it useless on stairs. It's fairly light though and not too bad to carry up and down stairs. It makes a lot of sense as a main vacuum, but it can't do everything. Based on my experience, I suggest you split the budget and get two vacuums; an upright to do the bulk cleaning, and a decent handheld for the things the upright can't do so easily. I wouldn't recommend a handheld as your only vacuum, but for certain situations they are helpful and quick. I use it on the stairs, on furniture, and occasionally to do the floors with it when I need to be quieter or can't be bothered to get the sebo out.

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.

From experiences I dealt with in our shop, Sonic Clean machines aren't anything special, it can be a headache finding parts through any of the usual parts vendors, the warranty is not all that good and there's a bit of a cheap feeling to them (despite the claims, brags and marketing buzzwords on their website.) A Sebo has a longer warranty and built much more durable/dependable (100% built in Germany. It's cloudy as to where Sonic Clean even gets their machines source from.) If the soft carpet brushroll aka "beater bar" is your concern, you can trade out the standard one for the soft bristle one. If you are looking for no "beater bar" perhaps consider a canister over an upright. Sebo makes great canisters.

I had never heard of them until I walked into a vacuum store that also does repairs, thinking I wanted a Dyson. The repair guy set me straight. My Sebo is fifteen years old and still works like new. Will probably outlive me as long as they keep making parts. Contrary to what the Dyson ads told us all, bagged is superior longterm IMO. They keep fine particulate contained so it doesn't work its way through your machine or poof back up in a cloud when you dump into a trash can. The bags come with caps that seal so nothing leaks out when you change them. I'd rather swap a bag than have to clean out a gross dust chamber.

Carpet-focused? SEBO Essential G4. The manual brushroll height adjustment delivers superior results to auto. The filter can be upgraded to HEPA with an OEM filter. The quick-draw wand and hose is phenomenal. It’s completely user-serviceable and rock-solid. It is a bit heavy, but in the same way a Rolls-Royce is heavy.

I catch more downvotes than you’d expect when I express my preference for the G4. It is odd. I find the G4 merely adequate for most hard floors. If I had some delicate floors, I’d invest in a second, different machine to focus on those. So, alas…the G4 isn’t perfect. Also, I feel like when someone is in a mixed-flooring home they generally benefit from optimizing the vacuum choice for carpet performance.

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.

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.

I would say Sebo is your best option. For uprights Felix or for canisters I would look at the E3 or D4. The D4 gives you the longest cord and biggest bag but if you can go to a shop and try them all out before purchasing so that you know you love it!

Sebos are cheaper to have serviced and parts are cheaper, and their dealers generally seem to be better imo at least in the US. The Miele discount is really good though, and that'd get you a c3 or something similar for pretty cheap. Cordless machines are really hit or miss with reliability. Some people have cheaper ones last for years, and others have their 1000 dollar cordless vacuums die after a year

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.

And let me clarify that I realize this model isn’t the best one for bare floors. But it does have a bare floor feature. I have a ProTeam 1500xp (maybe it was the 1200xp idk) I used when the Miele was down for a bit waiting for a new hose and used it at home all the time with no hair jamming issues. And I’ve brought my Sebo home to use before with no issue. It’s really a bad design issue with Miele.

Dyson and other cordless hand vacs should not be used as your main vacuum cleaner, in my opinion. They should be supplemental to a full-sized plug-in vacuum. I would recommend that you look at getting a bagged Sebo, Miele or Electrolux vacuum. If you are on a budget, look for one that is in good condition and test it before purchasing to make sure it works and bag area is clean.
