If you like the SEBO upright, then I would suggest that you purchase it. Make sure it meets all of you needs. You said that you have alot of carpeting. It filters well and the bags will not cost as much as Miele. SEBO vacuum cleaners are very reliable, like Miele. Am I correct in assuming that you are not in North America?
You may be confused about vacuum cleaners and Carpet washers(Steam cleaners/Extractors in the U.S.) Vacuum cleaners are used on a regular basis like once a week. They pick up dirt debris like hair, dirt, etc. Carpet washers are used occasionally, like once or twice a year. They are used after you first vacuum. It then loosens and picks up any hidden soil and grime attached to the carpeting. The machine applies a cleaning solution, scrubs the carpeting, then sucks the dirt solution up into a tank. You should not use a Carpet washer instead of a vacuum cleaner. If you have carpeting, it would be beneficial to always have a vacuum cleaner. Yes, you are correct that I am not from America .... (must be the timing that I wrote the reply)Thanks so much for your advice! Therefore it would be better to buy a vacuum cleaner instead of carpet washers? Actually I am quite confuse, as I thought that carpet washers will be better to buy compared to a vacuum cleaner. Will it be better if I bought a cheaper vacuum cleaner to vacuum the carpet first then use a carpet washers? So you are saying that carpet washers should not be used for regular basis but vacuum cleaners should be? Sorry for my folishness..... Thanks so much for your advice and opinions!!

CarmineD. However I do not have a consumer report account, do you mind sending the "report" to my email at blizzardvac@gmail.com ? I mind paying for the paper bag.
I am looking for a vacuum that mainly excel well in carpets as my house is almost carpet and have not been vacuum for like "5years" after my old two vax carpet washer that use "died",
More importantly I am looking for a reliable vacuum and long lasting even though I considered the dyson however it is not reliable. I am not sure whether to buy water based machines(eg. Hoover steamvac, vax, bisell,carpet shampooers)) for the carpets or use a vacuum like Sebo. Which type is more effective in cleaning and cost effective? I do not really mind canisters or upright. However I know that Sebo is one of the best upright? Miele vac are good however expensive and need to buy bags this and that. If the Sebo does not filter well , then just wear an N95 mask.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
Depends on what you like and don't like. Bag/bagless? Do you mind paying $4 for a paper bag, like the disgruntled MIELE buyer/user? Do you prefer uprights? Canisters? Really up to you. Visit a few local vacuum stores, read the October 2008 Consumer Reports which rates and ranks vacuums. And tell us what kind of vacuum and features you want. We'll give you some choices in your price range. STEAMVAC-s [a misnomer] are not daily use vacuum cleaners. Carmine D.
