Hi all! This is my first ever post, so please forgive any rookie errors.

I'm traveling down the never-ending rabbit hole of vacuum cleaners and I need help. Here's my situation. 

I have a 3000 sq/ft home, mostly carpet and a little tile (kitchen/dining area and bathrooms). I have high-pile carpet (3/4") in bedrooms and family room and a dog who is a short-haired shedder. I vacuum my carpet at least 3x a week. But....my dog's hair is being tracked into my kitchen by my 4 young kiddos and I cannot stand it! I have 4 mats in the kitchen (you know, the padded kind with memory foam or something) and they attract dog hair. My current vacuum--a Shark mid-range--does not pick up the hair and sweeping just pushes it to a new spot.

It's either get a good vacuum to get this under control or the dog goes (I will not have dog hair in my food!). Ideally, I'd love a vacuum that can go from high-pile carpet to tile floor, but I really, really don't want to sacrifice suction. So, I'm open to buying two vacuums if I have to: one for carpet one for tile.

I'd prefer it to be lightweight, but, again, not at the cost of a good suction. I'd also prefer the head to have a light. I do have kids who vacuum so it'd be nice if my kids (ages 11, 9, 5, and 3) could also use it in both the kitchen and their bedrooms. My youngest two tried the Dyson V8 cordless vacuum and loved it and so did I because I didn't have to stand there and hold the cord for them. But my top priority is getting that dog hair off the floor.

I'm open to upright, robot, cordless, cannister, commercial or residential grade, pretty much anything. 

I've done some research and am endlessly changing my mind (Miele, Dyson, Shark, Oreck, SEBO, Lindhaus) and am so lost right now. I've only ever owned an upright so I'm not sure how I feel about a canister, but make a good point and I may buy it. I live in a small town 3 hrs from the nearest vacuum store, so I need one that won't require a lot of maintenance because a 6 hr round trip with 4 kids in the car is a nightmare!

I borrowed a few vacuums from friends and here's what I found: I loved the Dyson v8 cordless in the kitchen because it actually picked up the dog hair but I didn't like it for my carpets as it ran the battery down quickly. I liked the Dyson Animal (original) because that thing had suction power on my carpet but did not pick up as much hair on the tile floor. The LG cordless suction got stuck on my kitchen rug and I couldn't move it and again, the battery wore down on the carpet.

Price is flexible; I'd like to stay under $1,000 but for the right vacuum I will spend more. Do I need to buy 2 vacuums? 

Please help me!

Vacuum Recommendations

I've tried the Miele C3 Complete and the Kenmore Elite 700 series and while the Miele has better suction, the vacuum itself is very heavy (specifically the motorized carpet attachment) and the whole thing feels cheap.  I absolutely LOVE the Kenmore but the suction isn't very good.  I'm thinking about trying a Aerus but you can't just buy those online and I want to be able to return it if I don't like it.  You guys have any other suggestions?  I have medium pile carpeting in 90% of my house.  I would like a completely sealed system and a bagged vacuum if possible.  I'm staying in quarantine until I can get a vaccine so I have to be able to buy it online.

Looking for a good canister vacuum cleaner - price is not an issue

A picture of my vacuums/floor cleaners. I’m obsessed.

Just moved into a new house. All hardwood floors with carpet on the stairs and there is also a loft with carpet. Looking for something that can help with the stairs and will do a good job. Maybe somewhat portable too so it can get up and down the stairs with ease. Thanks!

Looking for a vacuum rec!

I'm looking to upgrade our Bissell Cleanview Rewind. It's still functional after five years but the amount of dust it creates plus the burning smell after vacuuming pet hair makes me want to replace it.

I'm strongly considering the Sebo E3 as a BIFL and replacement but wondering how it will handle vacuuming copious amounts of pet hair and also cat litter. Will it ruin any of the electronics, suction, or belt after heavy use? 

I also saw that the warranty does not mention the belt on the Sebo website nor several of the local vacuum dealers' websites. Does the warranty cover the belt? I'm interested in buying straight from the manufacturer since they have a 30 day in home trial and can be returned no questions asked if we decide we don't like it but I'm also open to supporting local businesses if it's advised to purchase through a dealer.

TIA

Sebo E3 - seeking advice

I use a SEBO E3 for my new karastan carpet and it works amazing. Imo since it comes with a 10 year warranty, parts are easily available, and it cleans amazing it’s definitely worth it in the long run.

-Budget: most anything if it is worth it but preferably 400-500
-Floor: bottom floor tile, top floor karastan nylon carpet
-dog hair
-prefer attachments store with unit (mostly if not all)

So, used to have a Kenmore canister long ago and in 2018, got a smoking deal on a Miele C2+ and did not like it.  Did not feel like it was all that great in power, and wife HATED the fact that all the attachments did not store in the vacuum.  So, was looking at a Kenmore 81714 and reading tons of posts here and saw how the C2 is often referenced as a comparison, as well as some mentions of Sebo (which I had not heard of).

Bottom line, house has tile on bottom floor, Karastan thick high quality carpet upstairs, wife wants canister and prefers highly that all or at least most attachments can store with the machine.  I seem to get the idea that the Kenmore is a good option and a solid choice for the price, but basically the warranty is terrible so if it craps out in 1 year, you are SOL for ~$350.  Ironically, since we already tried a Miele C2, I guess that is out, so I am wondering what options others think would be good for those requirements.  I would consider most price/models and the quality of Sebo/Miele are attractive as well.  Thanks in advance.

Advice on canister options having tried and returned a Miele C2

Hi! I am overwhelmed with choices here and I don’t know what to choose. One minute I think I have chosen The Vacuum, and the next I am second guessing myself. 

I have 50/50 carpet and hard floors. I have a dog and a cat, and I like my carpets to be super, super clean as I am actually allergic to the cat (and really sensitive to dust). I like the idea of Miele. Could someone please help me pick the right one?

I come from owning a Dyson but their customer service is terrible and I refuse to purchase one of their machines again. 

Price isn’t really an issue, but I would like to not spend as much as I did on my Dyson (over $1200 with taxes 😔). 

Thanks!

Miele Vacuums (overwhelmed 😰)

$ 799 later, I finally shut up about my Toto and Bio-bidet. Now, all heart eyes are on this girl.

A while ago I asked here what vacuum I should purchase, and I received replies. Thank you!  
  
But, to this day, no vacuum has been purchased. Why?  
I've checked the recommended types like Sebo E3, but the reviews are so bad everywhere I look locally. People complain about no suction power a lot. Like they are super disappointed, and I can understand, 1000$ is a whole lot of money. 
  
And then I check the price comparison site. It shows some models with 1600W power (think it was Sebo K3). I get super hyped and I go on the manufacturer's website. Aaand it shows 890W. Same with Miele. I see a cheap but super-powerful machine, think it was the C1, with 1600W, yesss. I open the Miele website and click Shop, and it's 890W.

I get the feeling that these vacuums originally came with a big motor, but have been phased out / replaced by the manufacturer due to new regulations. Because these models are old (K3, C1), and I think they got added a long time ago to this price comparison site.

I've already thought about buying whatever and just ordering a motor from eBay to replace it myself to have an actually working vacuum.

Am I right about this new EU limitation though?  
What can you do to buy a proper vacuum in 2022, in the EU?

EU - Are vacuums bad because of the new laws restricting their power/motor?

Hi!  I need a recommendation for a light weight vacuum.  I have a shedding dog and two young children so I have to vacuum a lot. Our house has 3 floors with carpet or rugs on each floor and the stairs are carpeted.   I also have back pain! Yay! So I need a vacuum that is light enough to lug up and down stairs and can be used on stairs or has a proper attachment of some sort.  I think I've seen backpack style vacuums so maybe that.  Anyway, give me your recommendations!
