Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hello, I am searching for a good vacuum. I have a dog that sheds a lot. I have been recommended to buy a Sebo or Carpet pro. Is it worth the price? I heard these machines can last a life time... Walmart has one for $699. Sebo G1. I am not familiar with vacuums. What is the difference between a $150 Bissell and a $699 Sebo? Thank you all in advance. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sebo-9591AM-Essential-G1-Upright-Vacuum/21443537

Be careful. Yes they are well made but their actual cleaning power is not up to the best in the industry. Also, if you have a soft deep pile carpet you will need to use a special brush roll they sell with green bristles. The original brush roll has hard blue bristles. Soft carpets create enough drag on the brush to fool the belt sensor into thinking there is a jam, at which point the vacuum shuts itself off. Very frustrating. Germans over doing the electronics. The green bristle brush roll solves that problem but you have to buy it separately. The G1 is a pretty old design with no means to turn the brush roll off for above floor cleaning or for cleaning hard floors. The Sebo 370 drives its brush roll with a separate motor that can be turn off. It also has a wider nozzle and the suction inlet is more centered in the nozzle, which makes the suction even across the width of the nozzle. Carpet Pro has more suction and airflow than Sebo (I measure these things) and shrugs off deep pile carpets. They have good attachments and most are now made in the US. My only criticism is that since they are a shameless copy of the original Panasonic Jet Flo design the suction inlet is all the way over on the right side of the nozzle so the left side has less suction than the right. The Sebo G1 has the exact same shortcoming (most modern uprights do, only Aerus Lux, some Electrolux and Sanitaire uprights, Kirby and the metal bodied Royal commercial upright put the suction inlet dead center). Btw, you might want to look at an Aerus Lux upright. They are very good and every bit as durable as a Sebo.
