Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi ive been searching for a vacuum for my wife. She has had a Kirby Hoover for may years. Its a very sturdy vacuum, but it has seen its day.

All the vacuums reviewed look good. But now I cant decide and im worried I could get one a it be big disappointment.

Im not fussed on an upright or canister, just the quality. I want it to last so any help deciding would be much appreciated.  

Thanks
Carl

As with what Mike says, also consider a commercial upright vacuum that can be used for many hours. Lindhaus are good, but then so are Sebo's Windsor company. The Windsor Sensor is a good all round upright and has a similar mechanised feel because of its sensor head. Spares and consumables are always available for Windsor in the U.S

I'm not sure where you are located, but if you are in the U.K go direct to John Lewis stores -- they sell quite a few brands and its about the only dept store where they'll allow you to test run any of the products they have in store.

I have a Kirby g4 purchased in 1994 and I use it til this day. I have replaced the beater bar, bags of course and that is it. If you have a Kirby then you know they are easy to push, I taped my daughter riding mine while I clean here: http://youtu.be/PnviK0WSfEs . Even better than its ease of use is how deep it cleans. It creates a suction and lifts the carpet while beating it so I no the air flow goes from bottom to top of the carpet.

I'm a Vac dealer and still say the Sebo x4 is one of the best out there, the Miele s7 has more features but time will tell how it holds up as is very heavy.

If you want durability than Sebo is your vacuum however they are lite on agitation however if you are interested in cleaning and durability  than you must look into the Riccar Brilliance.

Hi Carl,

What kind of features is she looking for in a vacuum? Lightweight? Extention tools? Bags/Bagless? If you want a vacuum that lasts, look towards the commercial line. They are a tad bid more expensive however in time it pays for itself.

Thank you,

Lot of factors to be considered before choosing a vacuum cleaner. Is your house big?, What type of flooring? Hardwood, tiled, carpeted?. Do you have pets? Are there many members in the family?. All these factors would decide on the type of vac you buy. A big house with many rooms would mean a vacuum that has high suction and a wide cleaning path to save on cleaning effort and time. Hardwood flooring or tiled flooring - canisters would be a better choice. On carpets, uprights would work easier. Before buying, read opinions or reviews of members who are using the particular model. Look for manufacturer's warranty and manual. Wish you a happy hunting!!

Hi, There are a lot of considerations in buying a perfect vacuum that is best for you. First, who will be the one to use it? If its your wife, you have to consider its weight. Second, How much money would it cost you? Of course, I assume that you would love to have one that is savvy and durable. Lastly, what is the brand/quality? We all know that every brands/manufacturers have their original and unique characteristics. May it be Sebo, Miele, Dyson. These are the top vacuum cleaners that were used among the consumers/buyers. Brands like LG, Eureka on the other hand have a lower ratings in customer reviews. In my own discretion, all vacuum cleaners are in good condition whenever it was used properly and stored in its place. These stuff should be taken care of in order for them to last.

I’ve been searching for the perfect vacuum cleaner for years. I came across the Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuum Cleaner.I was very impressed to find that it can suck up anything on the stairs as well. This is a multi-functional vacuum that can clean pretty much any area in the house. And it’s extremely flexible, meaning I can get behind, beside, or under any spot.

I used the Shark vacuum cleaner, I suggest look

Hey, It depends upon your need and requirement that which type of floor you have and how much heavy duty vacuum cleaner you want. I will suggest you to use Sebo Rosso vacuum cleaner. It is the best according to me, but there is also a good option like GTech AirRAM, Karcher WD5.200MP. You can select from them.
