Never realized there was so much snobbery concerning vacuums.
There's higher and lower quality for everything. If you like lower quality go for it.
This guy just exudes salt and snobbery
So thrilled to see someone FINALLY speak about the incomprehensibility of the Dyson!
One word; Marketing...
I used to clean houses & would feel like crying whenever I saw it waiting for me because I knew three things were
possibly going to happen;
1. The people didn't have an eye for what a dirty vs clean house really is and that it would therefore be a heavier workload that they probably wouldn't even notice afterward.
2. That the heavy, bulky, usually not working fully, Dyson would do the usual where it sucked up the carpet, but refused to pick up tiny little grains of dirt because of the confounding lip they have on the head.
That would mean bending down every few feet to pick up the grains that just kept getting pushed forward on the floor.
3. That every few minutes I'd be stopping to clean the filter & empty the filthy, dusty container.
On top of all of this you are fantastic for being HONEST about all of the products.
I have to purchase a vacuum for a client's house that I'm decorating & I wanted to get a Kenmore or Panasonic because I have a baseline that beats anything I've every used, but I hear they're now not being made in Japan:((
So happy to have found your channel!
Oh. My. Goodness. Yes!!!! I hate dysons with a passion. I have experienced all of these things and I’ve heard other cleaning ladies say they love them. Why???? Are you seriously that unobservant of vacuum performance when it’s your job??? 😩 I am hoping to purchase my own vacuum within the next year just because I dread clients with dirty, clunky, broken vacuums. I kind of want a Miele, but I need to learn more.
@@farelimm
Miele is the best. I've got the Cat & Dog compact.
My two Dysons were trash!
See personally I would have bumped me more to between d and f because of the fact they used to be made by panisonic and before that whirlpool and they shared many parts
@@farelimmReal cleaning people would prefer something akin to a Sebo, Kärcher, Hoover Commercial, etc.
@@darthgamer6080 And sometimes Oreck.

Every time I talk to someone about vacuums, they always think their Shart is the best vacuum on the market. Yet, if you're going to see a vacuum cleaner on the curb for bulk trash day, it will be a Shart 9 times out of 10.
@Chris Christian Agreed. It's a shame people don't take care of anything anymore. That's beginning to be reflected in our market with highly disposable vacuum being a social norm now. Same thing with cars, I see people replace their car every 2 years all the time, and they never maintain any of them. They change it out the minute they have to replace a consumable part like shocks and pads.
I think those people will weed themselves out over the coming decade.
Shart? 🤣👍
I mainly see hoover in garbage piles.
@@pyromonkee2510 it’s the Bagless Hoovers that are Garbage, the Bagged Windtunnels and Commercial quality vacuums is what Very Good about Hoover.
I just noticed the trend, S and A class brands have basically no marketing while F and WB brands have tons of advertising or multi-level marketing.
Go with Sebo or Miele.
You’re right the shitty brands have to spend so much money on advertising while the great ones rely on word of mouth and put all their money into their product
I can't recall ever seeing a Kirby advertisement
@@Katiekay. Kirby, Rainbow, and Filter Queen use MLMs. They don't advertise, they just take advantage of people. At least they're all still Made in the USA and last a long time. I've started to see Kirby ads on youtube ever since Kirby has a new owner Right Lane Industries.
@@kc5077 very interesting..... I wonder if they changed the designed
Windmill brain here with a Kirby and proud of it 😝
LOL! me too! wasnt insulted at all by the comments... much! :o),
I got it cos it was cheap and it brings the carpets up great, of course I would never dream of buying one new or letting those people in my house! Next will be a Miele or SEBO
@@jdekong3945 Kirby's are fine as long as you buy them used and dirt cheap.
I was amazed it was so low for how much it can do. Not really a a machine that specializes but it buys time between major cleanings like deep shampooing and restoring floors and what not. I’ll say this... for hardwood floors... it picks up EVERYTHING. Just... don’t buy brand new LOL
yea lmao one of the dudes in the pic looked just like the guy that sold my dumbass my kirby lmao but aye its better than any vacuum ive used honest to god but yea windmill brain for that one for sure lmao
Came here after my Dyson wouldn't work all because I didn't clean the brush every 5 minutes. I'm supposed to be getting chores done but that's impossible when I'm spending 90% of my time giving my vacuum a haircut
I found this list to be fair based on my observations with this channel and other sources. I was somewhat expecting Rainbow to be knocked down much lower for their apparent reputation for being a multi-level marketing firm, although I am not so sure how true this is (either way, better alternatives to Rainbow exist for lower prices). I found it reasonable for Miele to lose some of their status as an industry leader in vacuums for trying to please every segment of the market when those segments do not fully understand that they would be better served with proven, refined models (e.g. cordless vacuums that cost more and do less than a canister/upright). I will admit that I got suckered into the CX1 bagless model when there was a sale. I did not find your channel yet, there was an urgent need for a replacement from I brand that I trusted for ~20 years, and all of the other sources I consulted did not mention the issue I would discover after careful observation. Miele used a hollow gasket around the debris bin which meant that it was not tightly sealed shut and would result in course dust leaking out onto the walls and surrounding interior where the filter cylinder rested.
I managed to recoup some of the cost by selling it off to someone else and adopted a SEBO D4, which performs exactly as it should. The firm also upholds design and business principles that I think you share too:
1) Function over form.
2) Access to affordable and durable parts.
3) User serviceability for reduced downtime.
There just aren't many firms across numerous industries that impart these in their wares. You are the like the Louis Rossmann of vacuum cleaners and we need more people like you, those who strip the veil of marketing to expose cynical firms and then point us to worthier patrons. Thank you for your service :)
I think part of the reason shark stays so hyped is because it has such cheap options for sealed systems and hepa filtration. (Humble opinion of someone currently doing a deep dive because they need a vacuum)
What have you finally decided to buy?
Agreed because theyre NOT impressive
I love, love, love the Sebo I've had for over twelve years and it still works like a pro. I get it serviced and cleaned every few years, it's never needed repairs, and if it ever needs replacing (doubtful), I will buy another Sebo.
What model Sebo do you have?
Still have my moms working Electrolux, she bought in the 80s, hard to find bags before being forced to support Amazon, but still works better then the new dyson
Perfect! I will be taking this list with me when shopping for my next vacuum cleaner.
I am using the same Kirby Legend II I got in 1979. Works great. other than belts and bags, no maintenance. When I see any other brand last this long, I might buy it. When mine wears out.
The Kirby legend 2 came out in 1987 and ran till 1992. Alongside the G3.
@@PerformanceReviews yeah I hate my Kirby. My husband fell for marketing from the salesman. The Kirby roller is wood and that swells up in Hawaii humidity and I have to take a hammer to it to take it out and put it back in. But still doesn’t fit so when vacuuming it doesn’t fit right. Either it’s getting choked on the carpet or I raise it and than it isn’t sucking up much. And then I have a a shag area rug and definite can’t use the roller on that so I have sit there using the hose attachment. I was thinking of a Miele soft carpet vacuum
Ok so I was suckered into buying a shark apex but its still returnable. What vacuum would you recommend instead for around $300?
I never thought I'd find a vacuum comparison video so funny lol between the shade and vaccum devil
Hey, great content! I just started looking for a vacuum today and came across Shark's UK website. And then found your video (thank god). Does your comment about replacement parts only apply to US based customers? I'm based in the UK and there are many replacement options on the website. What's the best canister vacuum you'd recommend in terms of filtration for allergy sufferers? Thanks :)
Miele!
I owned a Windsor Versamatic for over 20 years. This year I finally retired it and bought the Sebo S7. It’s not cheap but damn it’s one helluva vacuum.
Just picked up a used Sebo D4. What maintenance do you recommend that I have done at my local shop?
Am I wrong for being good with Bissell carpet washing machines? That's all I ever used them for, but they work quite well. Saved my bacon in a house of 2 Siberian Huskies.
I've been using Dyson for a few years and realized the error of my ways. Just ordered a Miele C3.
I recently purchased a Miele C3 Complete Brilliance. I like the machine a lot. The only problem I am having is psychological. I am used to seeing dog hair and dirt in a canister after vacuuming. Gross, yes, but it makes me feel good. Miele is bagged so I don’t see all that dirt. It’s going to be an adjustment bc I do believe that I’ve been brainwashed to expect to see dirt in a clear canister. I do think it belongs completely in the “S” category. I don’t blame them for making a quick “stick” vacuum. Plenty of my friends do not have carpeting and do not need or want a big vacuum. For them, a quality stick vacuum makes more sense. If Miele didn’t make one, they’d be stuck with Dyson, Shark, or a cheap generic. The Miele stick is superior to the other brands out there as well.
Just getting into the vacuum game here game. I'm so glad I found you. I have a Panasonic that I purchased over 15 years ago. It still works strong but I was getting tired of pulling the canister around and was contemplating getting into the cordless, stick vac game. But after watching your video I might just keep what I have.😚😚😚
You had a vacuum for over fifteen years; how are you just getting into the game? Lol
Thank you for this! I recently took a deep dive into your channel and am excited to get my SEBO D4! I never heard of them before finding your channel, and am so impressed by their product and service.
Wow that's amazing to hear! Glad you like your new machine!
What about Prolux? I've seen no reviews on their filtration/air particle count like I've seen you do to a Miele (I want due to that review you did).
Miele is clearly the top of the top (the C3) .. I've owned Kirby, Oreck, Dyson and Bissle, Hoover and Eureka and nothing compares in build quality, and performance, as well as style.
Do you have experience with Metrovacs? I own a couple and they seem to work very well, just very basic but built like tanks.
Do you have any thoughts on Nilfisk? I was talking to a pro cleaner and he recommended one of their commercial vacuums for domestic use. The VC300 hepa I believe. He said even with heavy domestic use I can expect at least a 10 to 15 year lifespan. Not sure if you have those in the US though
I bought a Kirby when I was stationed in Hawaii in 99. It still works like new 23 years later, and I expect at least 20 more years out of it.
Well that was a different Kirby company than we have now. But glad to hear you've gotten good service out of it!
I have 2! Granted their both in my garage not being used because it's almost impossible to find a repair shop for quality vacuums anymore.... They are so heavy but the quality is unlike anything you find today... I think of them as two classic buicks that I love too much to part with 🤦♀️
@@Katiekay. Parts are available and there are now sevice videos on youtube.
Brother by the way, What about the retractable cord system quality? Does that breaks easily? I currently clean at least 3 houses a day 5 days a week!
What was the brand of the last one you mentioned that goes into the A tier?
I have a $40.00 craigslist Kirby power wheels diamond? bought a $4.00 belt and now on my 3rd bag run through the machine and have loved it. Just bought a 2nd one for 2 bucks, probably good on vacs for the next 50 years! Will definitely keep my eye out for them s list brands to move up some day in the future. Thanks for all the vids and sharing your knowledge of vacuums!
I LOVE my Miele C3 Brilliant. I also love my Kirby Avalir II. The Miele is my daily driver and the Kirby is my once every 2 months, deep carpet cleaning machine. I just hate using it for anything else, which I why I bought my Miele.
FYI the Miele out cleans the Kirby.
Ive been using my Henry since 2005 at least 5 times a week in that time i have only replaced the hose and that's it!
Very interesting, thanks for the work on putting this together. Where would you put the Viking-Huskvarna machine that is sold in Canada under the name Modern Vac?
If we're thinking about the Viking Husqvarna rebranded Electrolux like the V720 machines those are truly A or B tier machines.
Excellent video. I have a Simplicity S38 canister that is still doing well, but I can see that major changes have happened from when I bought mine until the present. Should I need to replace it, I've been leaning towards a Sebo canister over a Miele, and I'm glad to see I was thinking in the right direction. Also, my husband is pissed that Tacony has threatened you about your videos since he learned a lot about basic maintenance of my machine from you when we first got married. When I am talking to people about better vacuum brands, I am definitely going to send them to this!
I have a Simplicity S24 that I have had for almost 20 years. Sad to hear that they no longer make the same quality. Thankfully they still have the quality bags available.
3 years ago I spent $1400 on a Simplicity Wonder and it's been broke down more than its been useful. They discontinued them a year after I purchased:(
I expected eureka to be on the D tier. They haven't made a good vacuum since 2004 and they're 2 good ones have been discontinued. Especially now they pretty much went extinct.
Thanks for the info. How often do you have to change the motor filter on a Miele Kona?
ua-cam.com/video/w_8Dj4u1QhU/v-deo.html
I can not keep quite about my Miele c1. Cat and Dog.I love how powerful it is and I live the extendable extension wand.Good Quality and would buy Miele again
I really like my Dyson. Always hated bulky vacuums and if you only have hardwood floors and swiffer and mop to clean, a Dyson is more than good enough. Doubles as a handheld dusbuster and the washable filters mean I never have to buy anything from them again. I wouldn't recommend for carpet though.
What a great video. Man, thank you so much for bringing up all these manufacturers to my attention. I owned Dyson DC14 animal in the past and was actually pleased with it for 7 years. Next time around I thought, why not, and got an Animal ball 2. What a windmill move on my end; but never again will I waste money on dyson. Got a Miele c3 excellence from a friend to try, would probably like a bit of a smoother roll over a thick area rug, but it just kills dyson. Our area rug almost instantly got better looking vs. struggling to move the dyson over it.
We are leaning towards Sebo x7 as we’re used to the upright vacuum and have 2 big dogs.
BTW, great job exposing that dyson fanboy😂.
Thanks again man!
I have had a Dyson DC 07 for about 15 yrs, never any trouble from it. I think you just have your panties cause they denied you to shoot in their booth.
I have only my own experience with vacuums. I have owned a Miele now for years- two of them. They work well; however, what led me to get those was that I purchased an electrolux Oxygen something or other canister- orange and silver and it would shut off about every 10 min. I called for help and they told me that it was a thermostat issue. They refused to fix it under warranty because I bought it on sale and not full price! I could not believe it. I went back to the store (Sears) and they fixed it and it worked for about 2-3 months then did it again. Sears said it was wrong what they were doing but they also did not return vacuums after 60 days I was told. I would never by Electrolux anything.
So you'd recommend against buying the miele cx series at all(the boost and blizzard)?
Yes . No reason to pay more money to run a vacuum cleaner.
@@PerformanceReviews ok thx for the heads up, been looking for a good one to buy and miele is the only high end brand accessible to me so helps a lot.
My regular daily vacuum is the Hoover OnePwr Cordless Bagged vacuum. For super long or detailed cleaning, I use a Miele Plus canister from the early 2000s.
Yes, my Hoover ONEPWR Hepa plus is my daily driver too.
May I please know if it's still work just fine or no
My Hoover Windtunnel Canister vacuum finally died after 15 years of heavy use, plus they were recalled several years ago. I have not been able to find a good replacement as bagless canisters are rare. I don't like uprights are they are hard to push around for an elderly person and the limitation to use the attachments are cumbersome. Any recommendations for a good bagless canister?
Miele Boost CX1
Here we are gentleman, we have arrived. Welcome to youtube's rabbit hole of vaccum cleaning.
Hi! You put Zero G in B until they prove otherwise. It’s been a year and I’m wondering if you have changed your mind either way? Thank you!
I'm a Central vac owner... I have an Imperium (Vacumaid) motor. Once you own a good central, everything else makes you sad. I fix & resell vacs from estates. The older Rainbows, and Tristars certainly weren't anything to sneeze at. I agree that Lindhaus is good stuff. I have their nozzle for my CV, and found one of theirs used for my parents. Kirby, Rainbow and Tristar's retail prices are mental......but it is a good machine.
Unfortunately for me, my home could not be easily retrofitted for a central vac. I was all set to have a MD with hide-a-hose installed, but once they got a look inside my walls (generous sheetrock and overabundance of fireproof blocking), it was a no-go without ripping out large pieces of my walls (requiring $$$$ in repairs) and drilling through all the sheetrock. So I settled for a Miele C3.
Thank you very much, this video is very helpful. My sister was telling my mum to get a dyson, but I really want to do some research before buying.
This video might be relevant.
ua-cam.com/video/KpLh34DlfLw/v-deo.html
One I recommend is Clarke/Nikfisk, they make good commercial upright single/dual motor & backpack vacuums for my school district, they also one of the brands awarded a seal of approval, Clarke’s current upright models, Clarke CarpetMaster has a storage compartment behind the hose for attachments & spare bags, triple filtration, 11 height adjustments, great handles, cord clips, easy brush roll remover, no tools maintenance/assembly, & also comes in 3 sides, 12 inch, 15 inch, & 18 inch, their back pack vacuums Clarke Comfortpak comes in 6 qt & 10 qt, both these types of vacuums are blue (single motor series partly gray) come with 50 ft yellow power cords
Man, it depends a little on what you want. My parents have had a Royal upright for so many years. I have no idea how many miles that thing has on it and it's just like it was new--though it could be disassembled and fixed up if there ever was a problem. Meanwhile I have been through many vacuums that have broken down and been thrown away. Innovation and convenience aren't everything. Always working, for years and year and years, should be a major consideration.
All those machines in the S&A tier are very repairable and have the longevity you speak of without being sold and discontinued like Royal was as a brand.
I had royal canister for 28 years!! Loved the vacuum:)
I own a Royal, myself. I have had it since 2005 and it works great. I did rebuild it once in 2016 and gave it a stronger motor. I wouldn't have done that, but I accidentally bent the armature when I was servicing it.
@@PerformanceReviews I worked as a janitor for nearly 30 years & I used many types of vacuum cleaners. The only thing I can say for sure is NEVER buy or use a bagless machine! They are crap!
Thoughts on the Lindhaus CH Pro? Was going to buy a Kirby until I seen your review.
Anything form Lindhaus is fantastic.
Thank you for the review. I really appreciate that you mentioned in your videos the lead warning on Shark. It helped me realize I too am susceptible to commercials and I’ll go back to the real top brands.
As much as I don’t get offended I feel you could have more followers if you would get your message across without insulting your listeners. Well as you said, you’ll probably never going to read my opinion, but I can’t help to at least try.
Btw. Review on cordless vacuums would really help. All the best to all good people!
Dyson Ball Animal 3 came yesterday (which I bought before seeing this video). Didn't get to use it too much, but it seems to work very well, despite being made out of the cheapest plastic possible. I'll try a Sebo or a Miele next time around.
My daughter told me she could use a new vacuum for Christmas gift. She currently has a bagless upright. Don't know what brand. I am trying to convince her how much better a bagged vacuum is. Don't know if I will be successful convincing her. After watching your informative video from 3 yrs ago, I think I will consider a Hoover from Walmart. Price point and decent quality hopefully. My one reservation would be that it's parent company is Chicommi. Hoover reminds me of my grade school days. If one of the boys in our circle starting seeing a new gal, we would always ask him if they did the Hoover Maneuver ?
Very helpful video, I appreciate the time you spent to educate the reasons behind your choices. I am now getting into the vacuum world as I’ve started a new job at my local sweeper shop. I was very surprised to see Riccar all the way at C. Other than some models not having attachments, they are light weight & have great suction. A great warranty plan with lifetime belt on most selections. My opinion is they have a great value vacuum for all ages. This isn’t me disagreeing with you of course, just wondering what a vacuum expert like yourself would think about my opinion. Thanks !
The reason Riccar is at a C is they don't last very long and they tend to be high maintenance. For the same price you pay for a Riccar you can buy a much better vacuum so the value is not there.
Since making this video they've gone even more downhill. Most of the products are at the same quality and stuff from Hoover/TTI these days.
Feel proud, got a sebo felix few months back
What’s your opinion on the Quantum x vacuums they’ve been heavily advertised lately.
I have no experience with that infomercial brand
Nice one! What's the best lightweight cordless vacuum available right now?
Usually cordless vacuums are pretty heavy. If you're looking for lightweight you probably better off with a canister vacuum or a central vacuum.
I've had a Miele neptune for about 15 years, had zero problems and great performance. The machine may outlast me.
The S4000 is one of my favorites
We had a Panasonic before and now with have a Miele, the Miele is miles better. What a beast 💪😎
I could not hear the name of the brand that you had mentioned at 18:04.
Is pro aqua still in business? They used to have machines kinda like Hyla
This tierlist got me so intrigued I went into the vacuum cleaner rabbit hole. The only problem is none of your pure S tier brands are available where I live. Only the Miele is available and only a single bagged vacuum. I've decided to get that
thank you for this report! very informative and to the point
Hey buddy what one would you pick between a Bissell powerlifter lift off pet or a hoover of the same price ($100-$150) that's comparable for pets and has a sealed system like that Bissell. Any suggestions for a hoover at that price over the Bissell? Thanks!
The Hoover Tempo or SEBO Dart is what I'd be looking at if you are bawling on a budget.
@@PerformanceReviews Thanks!!
You made a do,ent against angels vacuums - have u seen the water canister ones?
Is there a Hoover and a Miele that you would recommend? Corded. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Ive watched twice and its the best of the best. Very trustworthy.
as far as i Know, the Fantom vac was the first cyclonic vac..then the copyright?? can't think of the word ran out and others copied, like dyson. i loved the Fantom.
i cannot figure out dyson... those stick vacs...why would i want the heavy part of the vac near my hand? and i've heard that many of the stick vacs cannot stand upright when you stop vacuuming. just so weird.
thanks for your sharing your opinion re these things.
What is your opinion about Vorwerk's (the company behind Thermomix) Kobold line? They're pricey but have a very good reputation.
They're not a brand we gotten in the United States for over 30 years.
I have one of their vintage machines that was imported to the United States it's extremely smooth and high quality with very advanced manufacturing techniques. I've used a few of their newer examples overseas and was quite impressed. I would expect to rank them with their other German counterparts like Miele and SEBO.
OK, so Lindhaus or Sebo for bare floors and high pile carpets?
I have owned Miele, Lindhaus and a few others but keep going back to my trusty 30 year old Tristar CLX with new motor (use price...almost free). Ugly as sin but easily as good if not better than those that top your list (although I see it near the top despite not hearing any comments on it). Also the Lindhaus was probably as good, looked like R2D2, and had an awesome power head. But took up more storage. Miele are reliable as well. The comments about Shark were very informative and I have to wonder now if some of the youtube channels that have lots of subscibers are getting greased to recommend those vacuums. Now I know where to go for an entertaining and informative vacuum review. Thanks.
I have used a ProTeam quiet pro backpack(commercial use) for 15 years and it has been fabulous. Original motor.
Just curious, where do you think? Windsor versamatic vacuums would fall on that list?
That product is literally made by SEBO
What do you think of Kärcher Vacuums?
Just curious if you have heard of Prolux - uprights appear somewhat similar to Simplicity (non Wessel Werk powerheads and uprights seem to use simple flat belts)?
Yeah it's pretty bad quality from China.
What's your recommendation for a small apartment? Mostly hard floors but a large shag area rug so I prefer a power brush. What do you think about the SEBO DART UPRIGHTt? Unfortunately the SEBO FELIX is out of my son's budget. I also looked at the SEBO K2 CANISTER (but would have to go with the more expensive K3 with the power nozzle). I even considered the MIELE CLASSIC C1 Pure Suction.. would I be able to use the Seb 228 or 236 power brush with it? Another option, your recommendation of MIELE DYNAMIC U1? I have a Miele Capricorn and after 1 year (and $1200 later) the electric hose kept cutting out. So a little skeptical about Miele and would like to consider ones not made in China. Thank you!
Nothing wrong with getting a SEBO C1 with a turbo nozzle or dart which is really the same as the Felix both excellent machines. I'm familiar with the issue on the Capricorn I did talk about that in my review of it.
@@PerformanceReviews Thank you.. I just ordered a Dart.
I’ve been seeing more and more Samsung vacuums, mainly their robots. Any thoughts?
being pressured by my vacuum repair store to buy a Titan, didn't see it on the list, have you rated it???
Don't buy a Chinese Titan. It's a relabel of the old Panasonics from the 1980s.
Thanks for this video and your other very thurough reviews. Based on some research and watching your reviews, we've decided to get a henry as our next vacuum, replacing a horrible shark. Thanks again for your hard work and effort!
No mention of the Cirrus Canister vacuum? Those Meile canister vacs seem to use the same motor in all models thus, same suction power ?
Damn, I just bought a shark az2002 after a couple hours of yotube videos and searches about good vacuums. Not sure how I never came across this or other videos talking how bad they apparently are.
So far I've used it once and as I've only ever used Bissell and dirt devil in the past the shark was phenomenal on the single use so far.
Hopefully the 400 I spent on it lasts at least a year or 2. That'll be fine enough for me.
How is it?
Can you advise a better upright vaccuum other than shark or dyson for small multifloored apartments?
Should have watched the video.
@@PerformanceReviews I did I am still asking; What about Kenmore uprights?
@@StarEssencesSTML
Great review
Our primary criteria for a vacuum is one where we aren't constantly pulling hair out of the roller. Has anyone besides Shark and Dyson addressed hair tangles?
Those are some of the worst systems regarding that. The key to preventing tangles is to have a powerful vacuum that sucks the hair off the roller like those mentioned in the video.
ua-cam.com/video/RTkUNwBo9Ao/v-deo.html he just did the video; a couple of the vacuums did great with sucking up hair with no tangles on the rollers.
What is the best reasonably priced vacuum in the A, or S tear? I was looking at Sebo, but they are like $400 for a used one.
technically none of them are "budget" friendly since their quality is high. Numatic is only avaible on Europe meanwhile the other vacuums are avaible on America, you are going to expend a good amount of money but you receive what you paid. Try looking for a Miele, those sometimes get special prices
Thank you Ome!! (:@@omegadeepblue1407
So, since you put Lindhaus and Sebo at a solid S tier, would you say that repairability and parts availability for both these brands are better than Miele? Looking for a good upright for my grandpa who has asthma and severe allergies.
Parts availability for all those companies is really widely available in most countries especially the United States.
I have a Miele cannister! It's old and needs replacing. I was hoping to get a Miele cordless stick, but it seems they don't make anything with a bag equivalent.
Replace it with another canister , stick vacuums are for quick pickups and are not nearly as powerful.
1:28 for posting a picture of her and saying what you said, I gave you a like hahahhaah. Loved that joke!
You ever see a whirlpool Vacuum. I found one at good will for 10 dollars from 1986. Still works great, granted it has all the typical era issues but I don't care. It cleans well and does'nt stink when used. Not to say it does'nt leak. Probably does TBH. They were sold by sears at some point.
I have one
Definitely a windmill brain if they buy dyson/shark @full price; however, if those two brands are 70%-off , which they sometimes are, then they might be worth buying, don’t you think? Sebo, lindhaus and miele uprights obviously are the best but I’ve never seen any of those go on sale, let alone clearance, which shark/dyson sometimes do. So it’d be interesting to see this list revised, taking into consideration the discounted prices.
You're right about being decent for the price if heavily discounted. I picked up a Dyson DC44 animal for $150 refurbished, appeared to be new, about ten years ago, still works. The downside of Dyson, is the planned obsolescence; every series seems to have accessories and batteries which though SHOULD work (batteries same setup/voltage) are intentionally made to NOT fit the next generation of vacuum. Basically, a rip off.
Is Karcher not available in the US?
Best for 1" + shag carpets?
This video was spot on. Hilarious and informative. I really wish you had Nilfisk in the US. It's very much like Numatic, but made from aluminium. GM80 is one of their legendary models made for consumers & commercial use.
We do have them but they're only for commercial use that's why I didn't put them but they're definitely an A tier company
@@PerformanceReviews Nilfisk do not have sealed HEPA?
@@PerformanceReviews completely noob question, but what's the difference between a commercial and home vacuum cleaner? The only thing I've ever noticed is a longer power cord.
@@kenjifox4264 From what I’ve learned they are made more durable but most likely have a very different warranty, such as and a metal plate on the floor head versus plastic plate. However it’s not always the case. Often the warranty is much shorter such as two years versus five years.
@@Bekindtopeople doesn’t sound like it’s much of a difference
“Windmill brains” - hilarious!
This guy is a legend, and I completely agree the fact that unrepairable products should belong on WB category or even worse
Thanks for watching!
"share it with your favorite NPC or windmill brain-" this dude is ridiculous lol. thank you for your candidness.
I just ordered my first Shark Upright vacuum( LA502 Rotator Lift-Away) based on what I found on Consumer Reports. Consumer satisfaction is 5/5 and their reliability is also very good. The majority of the Shark Models tested received high scores so did I do wrong in not repairing my 12 year old Miele Salsa? I keep finding lots of positive reviews for Shark vacuums so I'm at a loss.
You'll be disappointed and probably return it. Anything in sharks lineup has roughly a quarter the power of the Miele in terms of air flow. Filtration is also not nearly as good. You'd really have to put a lot of wear on your Salsa for it to warrant replacement so soon. It's a well-known fact that consumer reports gets bought off.
Repair and service the Miele. I did mine of 17 years and it runs like new.
Do yourself a favor, repair the Miele! Or if you want, I’ll buy it!
I can't afford a Miele C3. I want it because of it's filtration. What is the closest for $450.00 max
Loved your honest assessment and the colorful language. Keep it real buddy.😂
This is FANTASTIC! after I watched it, I went back to other UA-camrs and 90% just list Dyson, Bissell and Shark!! They are all just promoting the vacuums that have advertising money. THANKS YOU for being honest.
