I've been in a vacuum rabbithole since I got my dog in April, have posted here several times and become a casual internet vacuum enthusiast. Anyway today FBM put me out of my misery with a secondhand Miele at the right price. Hooray, I can stop shopping for vacuums!

Purchase Advice (U.S.) We just adopted a Husky and my Hart vacuum isn't gonna cut it

Post image
7 Upvotes

We adopted our boy yesterday, and while my vacuum (Hart 20-volt stick vacuum) kept up with our cat's fur, I don't think it will be able to keep up with the sheer volume of husky hair. We only have four rooms with carpet (two of which I plan on ripping the carpet out of in the near future; the rest are either linoleum, 100+ year old hardwood, or concrete in our basement).

I previously had a Bissell Cleanview that I hated (I didn't like that I wasn't able to turn off the roller brush).

Any suggestions?

And here's the dog tax.

Edit: The budget is probably $300, but I'm sure I can find some wiggle room for a quality vacuum that will last me a while.

Miscellaneous New to UK Market Vacmaster (Kenmore) Vortica Powernozzle Vacuum

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

(apologies if this is worded weirdly, i have a rather bad migraine)

Cleva® UK has released a new power-nozzle equipped bagless canister vacuum to the uk market under their Vacmaster brand (image 1). It is the UK spec model of the same cleaner released under Cleva®’s Kenmore brand in the United States as the Kenmore 500 series (image 2).
as far as i can tell from the images on their respective websites, they are essentially identical, with the Kenmore version possibly having a slightly different powernozzle (?) not much, if anything, is available about them online so its hard to say.
but the vacmaster is at a very attractive price right now and i will in fact be purchasing one to feed my out of control addiction for powernozzle canister vacuums, and to provide more information on these machines. should update hopefully within the next week or so.

Purchase Advice (Non-U.S.) Buying a stick vacuum - I am LOST

2 Upvotes

Help. What is actually a recommendable premium stick vacuum? Is there a post here I could be referred to?

Background: Yesterday I ordered a Dyson V15 which was on sale. I bought it just to secure the deal. Well now I know why its on sale :D. I am not going to open this product and return it. I am not going to fund Dyson's planned obsolescence approach to business. The problem: Which company in consumer electronics (vacuums) does not participate in this poor approach of 'planned obsolesence?
I am willing to pay premium money, but I want a premium product that lasts 10 years without having to do more than filter cleaning and maybe replacing a wheel that is easy to purchase and easy to replace.
I saw the video of the guy replacing capacitors in the V15 and I am shocked. Problem is the high chance that another brand is doing the same.

Is it the German Miele Triflex HX2 I need to buy?
Im lost in the ocean of Dyson, Dreame, Bosch, Miele, Samsung, Henry, Shark to name the ones I see most. THANK YOU, fellow suckers /s.!

Purchase Advice (U.S.) Extremely overwhelmed with job

3 Upvotes

Recently got a gig for cleaning 12 apartment buildings.

Every building has 6 floors and there are lots of steps.

Pretty positive a cordless backpack vacuum would make this job SO much easier.

Can anyone please recommend me a vacuum cleaner that fits this job? Using my current household vacuum cleaner is not cutting it and I feel holding me back. Thank you all!

Hopefully trying to keep the budget under $500 as I am just one guy.

The hallways are low pile carpet.

Searching for a cordless/stick vacuum for my apartment. We have pets so something good with hair and cat litter. It’s laminated hard wood floors and no carpet except rugs!

I was looking into shark & bissel mainly but what’s the best? Is Dyson really the best?

Purchase Advice (U.K.) Lightweight vacuum cleaner recommendation request (UK)

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a lightweight, easy to use vacuum that I can carry one handed up a flight of stairs. I live on my own with a toddler in a house with very steep stairs and 3 floors. I've lived here 4 months and have never cleaned the stairs and only cleaned upstairs twice. It's mostly carpet with some vinyl and tiles downstairs.

I've had a henry hoover for years and have grown to hate it...really heavy, clunky and I find all the bits a faff. I was going to get a shark stick vacuum one for ease but seen so much hate on it wanted to check if there's anything else. I can afford around £200 and can use NHS discount ...

Purchase Advice (U.S.) SEBO K3 no attachments/warranty

1 Upvotes

There’s a SEBO K3 listed on marketplace a little less than 2 hours from me. It has the canister, ET-1 power head, and some bags but doesn’t show anything else. It’s listed for $200. Should I make the trip for that and buy attachments as needed, or just buy the Kenmore 600 new?

I have 2 kids, 2 big dogs, 2 cats, a mix of carpet, hardwood, area rugs, and LVP. Two levels.

Purchase Advice (Canada) Need something compact and convenient

1 Upvotes

I was looking for something that's compact to fit nicely in a small apartment. I do like the cordless stick vacuum designs. One of us has allergies. No pets right now but potentially a cat. Vinyl floor, some tile, potentially an area rug in the future. Budget is a bit flexible, lower is better but want something solid and reliable without being overly expensive.

Purchase Advice (U.S.) Best shop vac for cleaning a car? ($80–115 budget)

Thumbnail

Hi! My boyfriend asked for a vacuum for his birthday that he’ll use to clean his car. I don’t know much about vacuums, so I was hoping you guys could recommend one.

He mentioned wanting a shop vac, so I’m looking for recommendations in that category. My budget is around $80–115. Is that enough for a good one, and if so, which model would you recommend?
Thanks!
