Hello vacuum aficionados! My very old Dyson, pictured, is on it’s last leg. It’s over 10 years old and has been Frankensteined with another Dyson, same model, to keep it alive longer. I’m ready to put it down and get a new vacuum, and I’m hoping you can help.

Here is what I’m working with: All wood floors with the exception of 2 tile bathrooms, 2 8x10 area rugs and 2 sets of stairs with carpeting/ those stick on so you won’t slip stair treads & a basement with vinyl tiles.

2 dogs 1 cat (that is 18 and sadly will not be with us much longer). 3 teenagers. A ton of dust. Dust everywhere.

My second dyson is a stick vac. I use it for the stairs and to zip around quickly when I don’t want to bring out the big one. The stick vac is also old and doesnt cut it when it come stop pet hair and dust. It’s been dropped a lot. I’ve taken it apart, cleaned it, put it back together and it still doesn’t work the way it used to.

Side note- when I first had my own apartment, I was using a big canister vacuum and I (stupidly) went to do the stairs and it fell down the stairs on top of me. Almost broke a rib. So I have an unrealistic fear of canister vacuums. This was 20 years ago and the vacuum was probably already 10 years old. A big heavy dinosaur. I know times have changed and they make them lighter now.

So, I’m not sure if I want just one vacuum that does not all (attachments for under stuff, etc) or if I need a decent hand vacuum or stick vacc as well.

I welcome all of my our suggestions.

As for budget, I don’t want to spend more than $400, but if it really makes a THAT big a difference and it’s worthwhile to have a long lasting one, I would consider paying more.

Thanks everyone!

I’m in Washington state , so just over the border. The Canadian site has the D4 Premium for $1,099CAD, which with the current exchange rate is just under $800USD. Even factoring in duties/exchange rates, that’s a huge discount from the $1349USD price tag.

Is there any dangers to buying the Canadian version? I.e., warranty, repairs, etc.?

The Dealer Locator on Sebo's website gives the option to search for Premier or Associate dealers, but I haven't found anything explaining the difference. Would someone in the know please help me understand why I might select one type over the other?

We are in a 3000+ square foot home with mostly carpet, including 2 sets of carpeted stairs. The carpets are so old and gross-but I’m renting so I’m stuck with them for now. But we have 2 cats, a Boston terrier, and three girls with long hair in a house of 6 people. That is a lot of hair and dust!!

My youngest and I are allergic to dust and I have back issues making it hard to drag a quality upright vacuum cleaner all over the house. My daughter has taken over the basement (all carpet) so I have a shark apex she uses down there and it has pretty good suction considering it’s a shark. I also have a 14 year old Dyson animal that works fine she says it’s too heavy-and I have been using a little eureka 3670m on the stairs and as a Dustbuster type of replacement. I’m loving the canister and lack of dust dumping even though it’s not super powerful it’s a nice little guy.

Can I get a powerful enough canister to work on the carpets around the house? It is half hard wood and carpet in the main level and all carpet upstairs. I would still vacuum the carpeted basement but not as often because my daughter has her own vacuum down there.

I don’t think I’m ready to spend over $1,000 on a vacuum but I can consider up to that amount. I would prefer closer to $500 if possible.

Hello friends

As the title states, I'm looking for a vacuum for an apartment I've recently moved into. Mainly just want something convenient and easy, with acceptable quality that lasts for a decent amount of time. We had some gift cards and almost got a dyson at costco, but figured it would be worth exploring other less expensive alternatives, though we like the dyson build quality. Cheaper is good, but something that is durable and lasts a while (i.e. can swap out new batteries and doesnt break outright) would be nice.

I understand this sub seldom recommends bagless stick vacs, which makes sense for deep cleaning a house, but I am honestly just looking for something that is easy/convenient to use and does not take up much space. I'd consider getting a decent canister vacuum to complement a stick vacuum once I'm in a different apartment

I ruled out the shark stick vacs at costco, since those are very plasticky and dont seem that good of quality. While we do have some carpet, I would prioritize ease of use and durability over raw cleaning power. Something like a tool brand that has a battery ecosystem for other power tools (i.e. ryobi, milwaukiee, or similar) could be useful as well. We'd buy an 18v drill eventually.

Dark horse-- I like the idea of something like the Roborock Dyad that uses one motor that can be swapped between a wet mop vacuum, and a separate stick vacuum-- seems to provide the most value and clever design (who knows how reliable it is though)!

Appreciate any recommendations!

Just as the title says:I’m looking for a durable vacuum that’s powerful enough for carpet and is decently affordable (LESS THAN 200$ CANADIAN I’m renting and low income so I don’t have alot of money to put towards this) . Extra points if I can buy it on Amazon for convenience. Whenever I look at a vacuum on Amazon I check the lowest reviews and most of them say that it’s either lost suction or flat out stopped working in the first couple uses. Any recommendations??

The book says to unlock roller head. I move the tab down a little but nothing happens. It feels spring loaded but I don’t want to force it and break it. I can’t move the roller head anymore. Likely dog hair is wrapped around it. I don’t know how to remove the side cover. I see where it should come apart it’s just not.

I'm in desperate need of a new vacuum. I don't care about it lasting forever and I don't want it to cost a mortgage payment. What I want is a bagged, long corded vacuum that suctions so hard it it makes the floors blush. (Mostly hard floors some area rugs).

Hello! I’m looking for a brush attachment for my shop vac at home, I believe it’s a 9 gallon DeWalt shop vac. The closest thing I can find to exactly what I want is a Milwaukee 12v battery powered roller. I’m going to continue looking for a corded one or DeWalt branded roller, but any help would be nice!

What do you guys use to polish your plastic vacuum cleaners specifically red ones and where do you get them?

So I am a first time homebuyer and have only lived with parents before now. I am looking for a vacuum for my new home that’s gonna be 2000sq ft. The bedrooms will be carpet and the remainder of the house will EVP (engineered vinyl plank). Max budget is $300. Costco has Dyson Ball Animal 3+ for $279 and was eyeing that. I don’t have any pets but may get a cat later on. I’d appreciate the help! Thank you!

Hello, I bought this vacuum recently and was expecting a charging cradle but it didn’t seem to come with it. I’ve been looking online everywhere and can’t seem to buy it anywhere either.

I would love to charge a second battery all the time and also store all my accessories in one place

Hey good morning!

I'm looking for a vacuum that will last a while or maybe into BIFL territory.

I have mostly carpet (medium pile?), some hard floors, one long-haired human, and cats that shed so much that our current vacuum leaves lines of bound up hair behind (it's on its last legs). My budget is probably around $400-$500 but I may be swayed higher. Lighter weight is preferred too, as I have some chronic pain issues and I'm more likely to do chores if they hurt less to move.

Looking at the sidebar info, I'm leaning towards an upright or canister w powered roller.

I currently have a cheap little CSV Go cordless stick, and my favorite part about it is the fact that it can separate into pieces where the long nozzle can detach and I can put a smaller tip on to get into crevices and corners the roller doesn't fit into. Growing up my parents had a vac where the hose wrapped around and could be detached in a similar way, but I don't know what brand it was. I would LOVE one that gives me similar flexibility.

I have no issues doing maintenance cleaning the rollers, but inexpensive bags that help reduce allergens and cat dander would be a nice perk for air quality (if such things exist).

Thank you!

I'm searching for a durable vacuum that will last up to 5 years and it would be even better if it's wireless. I saw post talking about the dyson V8 saying that's it's great but the battery does last very long after a while. There also posts talking about the miele triflex HX1 but i saw alot of review complaning about it. Also if there's a durable Robot vacuum i would also take recommandation. I watch Vacuum war videos but there isn't much info about the durability of the vacuum they review.

Budget: 300-600 CA$ (without shipping fees)

So this happened right after I tried to vacuum up a pile of crosscut shreds. I cleared as much of the clog as I could reach but it's still not picking up hair though it seems to get other things.

A few paper shreds come through to the dust cup. The hose is clear and it sucks fine. I cleaned the filters. Thx rollers are working fine.

Could a paper clog be deep in the head and how do I get at it?

I’m looking for recommendations on a quality bagged upright vacuum with a HEPA filter. I’m not particularly interested in SEBO models, mainly due to their lack of onboard attachments and absence of a headlight. I’m aware of the Kenmore Intuition, which checks most of the boxes for me, but I’m curious if there are any strong alternatives out there. My home is roughly 50% carpet and 50% vinyl flooring, so versatility is important. Ideally, I’d like a vacuum with a swivel head, a headlight, and attachments suitable for cleaning furniture like a couch. My budget is around $500-$600 but would like to be under that if possible.

Hi I'm in need of a vacuum! The place I live in is a one room apartment built in the 90s or early 2000s above a garage with a tractor and stuff in it, the room is the length of the two 2-car garages that are side. I guestimate that It's about 70% carpet 20% wood for with massive gaps that collect crumbs that are hard to extract with a broom, and 10% carpeted stairs. So I'm looking for something that can vacuum on the hardwood too.

• Ideally >$300 & an upright or canister. That lasts more than 2-3 years. The place gets absurdly dusty in the bathroom for some reason.

Also interested in a wet/dry vac for spot cleaning things like cushions, carpet, mattress, car, etc. an infrequently used shop vac.

My mom had a Shark navigator probably from around the 2010s, one of the wheels has been falling off probably since 2012-15. It's been through hell and back. My mom got a new vac in 2020 so the old shark navigator has become the Sacrificial Bird Dust Vacuum for cleaning a room with four doves.

That purple shark navigator is really the only vacuum I have real experience with cleaning, unclogging, etc. but they're apparently kinda so-so. Any recs or help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi I would like some help deciding what cordless vacuum to get.

Yes it has to be cordless. It will be my main vacuum and I know you all say cordless is not supposed to be a main vacuum but I find cordless vacuums to be less of a chore and more fun to use. The house I'm living is small (I'm renting it from a family member. I've been living here for a week, but will be here for a long time) and I'm currently using an old iroomba robot they had here, it doesn't vacuum that well and I always wanted a dyson so i thought it was a good idea to buy it rn.

I believe this is kinda urgent since if I decide on Dyson V15 it's currently on sale till the 7th for 619 euros...

I've always wanted a Dyson and I had Dyson V15 in mind but after looking for a long time, there's so many reviews saying its not that durable, breaks after like 2 years of use. Here in portugal 600 euros is A LOT (minimum wage is 850 euros) so if I were to spend that kind of money I would expect it to be really durable.

After looking at some posts I tried searching for a vacuum from the brand Miele but I do realize you all talk good about the ones with cords, I want one that is cordless and haven't seen many reviews on those, on their website the HX1 cats & dogs and the HX2 cats and dogs has 160/192W suction power compared to the Dyson V15 240W suction power. I'm more inclined on Dyson but its so expensive and I've seen so bad comments about it.... Which cordless vacuum would you buy?

Purchase Help

• Budget: up to 640 euro max but for a long-term vacuum (you can suggest higher priced ones, because they might be on sale here in portugal or overall cheaper here, I'll check and tell you)
• Flooring: mainly hardfloors, only 1 carpet to vacuum (and the "fur" is not long)
• Additional Needs: I have a cat that's been filling my vacuum robot up really fast
• NOTE: I live in portugal, SEBO is not an option since they don't sell to portugal, I searched

Hi, wondering if anyone has advice on which Miele to get. I have a 1400 square foot apartment that's all hardwood. Two big area rugs, one of which is a thicker wool that's still new and shedding. Does the C1 make the most sense for me? Is there an attachment that I should look into for the wool rug?

Hi all, I figured I’d come consult the Reddit experts on a carpet shampooer for my grandmother. She’s not looking to spend much more than $150 and would like the upholstery attachment thing to clean her furniture as well. I looked at the BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL, but I feel it might be too heavy and have seen mixed opinions on it from this group. Any input is appreciated, I’m not a vacuum expert so the simpler the explanation the better. Thank you all in advance

Hello! I am looking for a powerful, but not too expensive vacuum cleaner for an apartment with a bedroom, an office, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Coming from a Bosch Readyy'y cordless, bagless vacuum, important characteristics are NO spinning floor brush, but sufficient power.

I have no pets. Priorities would be mainly the floor, but also the couch and some textile-covered chairs. Hence, a vacuum that comes with accessories for textiles would be nice. From time to time I would also like to dry-vacuum the car. Also would appreciate not so frequent bag changing.

Current candidates are the BOSCH BGB75X494 and the MIELE Guard S1 since they seem to have compelling specifications and are still affordable. Any experiences with these? I am, however, not limited to these.

I would appreciate some input/advice! My budget is up to 250 EUR.

I despise sweeping so I use my vacuum on my wood linoleum/vinyl (idk) floors, my low pile rug, and the carpet in my bedroom. My current vacuum works great on everything except the carpet, I’m constantly finding my hair all over the floor. I live in a one bedroom apartment without much storage so I want a vacuum that is relatively small. Don’t want to pay too much (200-300). I’ve been looking at the honiture x7 if anyone has any thoughts on it.

I've been ordering from Amazon, but does Walmart or Home Depot still sell bags? Vacuum stores aren't really close to me. Just curious

I have a Worx cordless stick vacuum (WX038L) that keeps shutting itself off after only a second or two of running. After it stops, it blinks one red light four times, pauses, then repeats that pattern nine more times.

I cannot figure out what that indicates. My assumption would be low battery, but I tried multiple batteries that were full and worked fine in other Worx tools. I also tried rinsing the filter out because that was long overdue, but even after drying it and reassembling, the vacuum is still not working properly.

It did overheat the battery the last time it was working and after changing in another one it started doing this.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I purchased my first vacuum cleaner 2 years ago.

Brand: Agaro Model: Rapid.

2 days back when I powered on the vacuum cleaner black smoke came out from the top vents and my room got filled with odor of burning electrical coil. Since then the device is completely dead.

Right now I can't afford a new vacuum cleaner.

Q1) Should I try to find a local repair shop which offers vacuum cleaner repairing? Is it worth it.

Q2) What exactly should I look for while buying my next vacuum cleaner?

I only used this vacuum cleaner once per week but it still failed within just 2 years. What a loss of money!
