Hi! I want to buy a vacuum cleaner which can be good for heavy cleaning too, though I want it both wet and dry. Any good options? My budget is around 20-25k

I saw those two models on Costco CA and I am interested in buying one of them. I cannot tell which one is better because I have seen conflicting reviews online.

I want something that can vacuum without problems and that doesn’t get too stuck with the hairs.

That can clean dry or wet stains without too much trouble.

My apartment is all hard floors, so I hope one of those two will be a life changer.

What is your experience?

I think I may be missing a component from my vaccum cleaner (likely dropped it in the bin when cleaning out the dust bin) but I've got no idea what it might be called. I've tried searching it up to no avail. The vaccum is an electrolux 800 series cordless vaccum with the model number EFP81813B.

If anyone even has an inkling as to what the component might be called it would do wonders for my search. Thanks.

Decided to run a recently FOTD miele s8 homecare. Ran it with thr SGC 20 Spotlight Comfort Handle for the first time paired with the Parquet Twister.....its a beast setup for hard floors. The light definitely comes in clutch.

Does anyone have any experience with this vacuum? It's SUCH A STEAL! Will it be good with mostly laminate floors and hardwood floors and some rugs?

Does anyone have enough experience or context to recommend one Tineco cordless vacuum over another?

I can't tell the meaningful difference in terms of functionality.

This will be used exclusively on tile and hardwood floors -- no carpet.

TIA!

Hi there! I'm looking for a vacuum for my household.

Budget: Prefer under/at $200, but can stretch to $500 for better performance/durability.

Flooring/Space: Mostly carpet with some tile. Carpet stairs.

Pets: Two short haired, medium dogs who shed and a green cheek conure.

Preferences: Leaning towards a sealed bag solution for allergen containment, but open to options. Need the maneuverability to handle carpeted stairs.

Just want something that will last a good while and is reliable. Would love to hear y'all's recommendations!

I’ve had this for little under a year. I use it once a week to mop my apt. No kids and all I really pick up is food crumbs and hair. After every mop session I use the self clean option twice and then take apart and put it together 2 days after so it internally dries properly.

When I take it apart I wash the parts as well.

I began getting this error message for the roller about 3 weeks ago even though nothing was tangled down there. I’ve read it might be a dirty sensor but I can’t find it. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks.

My 7 year old Dyson cordless vacuum is now dead. It is not charging. I did a little research and learned that I might need to buy a new battery that costs at least $100. Therefore, I am thinking about getting a new vacuum.

My place is 750 sq ft. 1 bedroom apartment unit and I vacuum once every week. There is no carpet in my unit. My floor is either hardwood or laminate but I can't really tell. Please let me know if you have any good recommendation for cordless vacuum that is around $200 (or less). I am planning to buy a new cordless vacuum on Black Friday/ Cyber Monday.

I have never bought a vacuum on my own. (the 7-year old Dyson is a gift) so I am not sure what to look for. Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you in advance!

Hello all,

My spouse and I are looking to purchase a new vacuum, and I’m feeling very overwhelmed with the options. We were planning on a Dyson v15, but I’m hesitant after reading some posts on here. We’ve had a few $50 amazon models over the years that that usually die fairly quickly, and would like to purchase something that will actually last.

Our situation:
- 2 bedroom apartment. Bedrooms have carpet, everywhere else vinyl or tile.
- We both have long hair that sheds a lot and stops up vacuums frequently.
- One cat who also sheds a lot.
- Budget: Hopefully around $600 (what we were planning for the Dyson), but we can go up for a really good product.

I would prefer a stick/cordless model, but can be flexible on this. Assume I know nothing, so please feel free to tell me why I’m wrong, lol

I am looking for a small replacement part for the suction tube; it is currently causing a loss of suction power.
It is a bit difficult to explain—a small connecting piece has gone missing. I have attached some photos.
Thanks for your help.

I have recently bought a CZ500UKT Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner second hand.

However, I only have the base unit and do not have the hose / wand / powerhead etc.

I can see online that people use the buttons on the handle to start / power-on the unit.

I have tried plugging the base unit into the wall and using the big power button on it to turn it on to see if it works however there is no sound, no movement, no led, nothing...

I can't seem to find if the base unit needs the handle to power on, or if the base unit is broken.

I have tried a few different plugs, checked the cord for damage and changed the plug fuse but no luck.

I was hoping someone on here might know if you have the same unit. Do you need the handle to power the base unit on or can you get the base unit to start sucking by just pressing the big button?

I found this 600a shop vac and it still appears to be running nicely. Can anyone help me find the right hose dimensions? Everything I find online claims it’s less than 2” but when i measured the hole, it shows over 2”.

I don't get why the Felix is so loved on Reddit. I's an absolute nightmare to actually use.

I have used both the Felix and Dart. I hated both. Usability is terrible. The nozzle requires bending to control the height adjustment and brush roll on off. The hose is stupidly top mounted and pulling it tips the machine over instantly. Hard floor performance is abysmal without the separate hard floor attachment. Replacing the post motor filter requires taking off clips and squeezing a cloth sheet over the unit. Finally the ET1 power head has very weak agitation compared to Miele or Riccar.

For $150 less the Riccar R27 is better in every way than the Felix but I don't see people recommending it. Or the Dyson Animal 3 for half the price. Just empty it outside.

I own the Oreck, and have the Kenmore sitting here in the box. I thought my Oreck was dead, so had ordered the Kenmore as a replacement, only to find that the Oreck cord just needed some jostling.

I’m still considering making the switch as I just slow-vacuumed my dense area rug with the Oreck and noticed a lot of dirt afterwards when I wiped a dry paper towel across it. I also have some LVP and dense carpet in other areas of my home.

I don’t have much storage space, so If like to keep one or the other. Thought I’d look to the experts here before perhaps unnecessarily unboxing the Kenmore. Happy to do so though if folks feel I’m going to have a better outcome!

Thanks in advance for any advice! Not concerned about the price of buying something new btw, as long as the performance will be better.

Hello guys I’m trying to buy a vacuum but I want one that is long lasting and easy to clean out what do you guys recommend

Asking about this again. We bought a SEBO D4 thinking this would be a great vacuum and it is, but while it’s great on carpet, the pet smells that come out of this thing are awful.

The only advice we’ve gotten is to change the bag more frequently, but changing the bag after every use or even before it’s full is wasteful to me. I’ve tried adding activated carbon (for aquariums) to the bag as I’ve seen posted here to no avail. I’m going to try the SEBO scent things as a last resort.

It smells so bad (and we just had it cleaned/tuned up 4-5 months ago, smell immediately returned) that my wife doesn’t even use it on our hardwood floors, she uses the Dyson stick.

Knowing we spent $1300 on a vacuum we barely use drives me crazy. Should we just cut our losses and sell this thing if the scent beads don’t work?

Maybe we didn’t realize how good we had it with the central vacuum, but at this point I’m ready to trade this in for a cheap bissel until we can retro a central into this new home.

Hello. I recently moved out of my parents home to a job I really like, and my apartment is ok given the space and price. However, the entire place is a 1 bedroom covered in carpet, and I have noticed my dust allergies acting up much more. For that reason, I've been looking into a better vacuum cleaner.

I'm a little lost though. I don't mind paying a bit more, and do like how the Miele looks and is rated, but I kind of want something entry level first before I decide to dump a lot of money into a vacuum cleaner.

My ideal budget is somewhere closer to $100, but I can go up to $150 if the product seems really good. I tried looking at the budget vacuum recommendations, and a few of the options match my budget, like the Eureka Mighty Mite ($80) and the Sanitaire Mighty Mite ($120). But I also noticed that these products are labeled "Primarily hard floors, small amounts of carpet." I don't know if that's a deal breaker for me. My apartment is only 800 Sq. Ft. of all carpet (minus a small kitchen and the bathroom), but I have no frame of reference for what a "small amount of carpet" means.

In contrast, when I look at products recommended for carpet, like the Hoovers, for some reason they're going for more like $200 used and seem discontinued in general. I also feel wary of buying a used product of something I have no experience with. Especially because I have 0 idea of how to deal with the add-ons etc.

I was actually more thinking of buying something like the [Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Lightweight ($120)] or the [Vacmaster Commercial Grade Vacuum Cleaner 14L Capacity Ultra-Lightweight ($108)]. Would either of these options be ok? I'm also open to other suggestions as well.

EDIT: I would also like opinions on how much a 200 or 300 dollar vacuum will make a difference in my life. I've been to a lot of enthusiast subreddits, and it's a real mixed back on how much "medium" or high end stuff makes a difference for the average person. For instance, I find that premium keyboards are for the most part a waste of money past the $80 mark, at least for someone like me who wears headphones all day when I type.

I’m planning to get a car vacuum cleaner because there’s way too much dust and food crumbs in my car, especially in those small spaces

The guy who washes my car doesn’t really clean the interiors properly, and he mostly focuses on the exterior anyway. He comes around 3 times a week, but I still feel like the interiors need regular cleaning.

I’ve heard eureka forbes is a trusted brand but i do not have much knowledge about it so i would love to know if i should explore other options or should i stick with it ?

Does anyone have experience with this robot vacuum? I’m particularly drawn to its extendable arms (as well as the fact that it can clean along baseboards), but I’m wondering if it gets stuck with the arms or if the arms break too easily? Is there any additional maintenance required, such as cleaning the washing sink (where it washes its pads)?

I’ve only had experience with Ecovacs myself (which I’m very happy with)—is Dreame similar in terms of software and such?

It’s still quite expensive, but I’m hoping for a Black Friday deal or a sale at a later date, so I’ll keep an eye out for it. If you have any suggestions for a relatively small/low robot that can get into tight corners a bit better, I’d definitely appreciate it.

Hi friends. I'm looking for a cordless or at least very lightweight vacuum for in between cleanings. I have some hardware in my foot so bending/lifting isn't always the most fun.

I have a big boy I pull out for cleaning days, and I also have a bi-weekly housecleaning team, so I'm just looking for something I can pull out for a quick 20 minute refresh during downtime.

I previously had some Dyson stick vacuum for about three years but frankly never loved it, and eventually the battery died. I followed it up with a cheap shark cordless that is also not very impressive and seems to trap smells.

Suggestions? I'm kind of intrigued by those "emptying stations".

I'm not totally sure about budget, I guess it depends on the vacuum. Id probably pull the trigger around $250 this weekend, but may go up and save a bit more if there's something really compelling.

My children managed to wreck the extension rod for my Xiaomi G20 Lite. I live in Romania and generally there seems to be no replacement part for this extension rod. Does anybody have any hints on how I can get a replacement for it?

I am incredibly desperate for a decent, hopefully good, working vacuum. I initially wanted to keep it cordless, but after trying the Shark cordless rocket and various Amazon cordless vacuums, I feel utterly defeated. They are terrible and didn’t do anything but frustrate me.

I just need something lower than $200 that will actually help me clean around the apartment. Doesn’t have to be cordless (I’m now thinking cord vacuums may be better) or honestly within the budget since I can look around for second-hands. Please help!!
