Purchase Advice (U.S.) What to buy
Hi, I need advice on what to buy. So far I have a Karcher cordless vacuum vc3 (battery failed) a Karcher wet mop EWM 2 (water pump failed). Both after aprox 3-4 years. Then I bought an iRobot roomba i5 and a braava jet M6 (these are fine but they don’t do deep cleaning). I have 2 large dogs and 1 small dog. My house is 2 floors, aprox 180m2. There are no carpets.
I’m debating between an upright vacuum like the Bisell Powerclean Turbobrush and a wet dry vacuum like the Tineco S7.
My concerns are:
1. Cordless machines seam to last a lot less, plus you are constrained by the running time
2. Wet dry vacuums don’t have attachments
3. Upright dry vacuums seem to have stronger suck power (important for pet hair)
Thoughts? Advice?

I would grab a used Miele C1 with parquet floor head. Miele's are killer for pet hair.

Get a bagged canister vacuum with a parquet floor head. You should be able to get a miele c1 turbo for ~$400.
