If you want REAL: Quality, Performance, Power and a vacuum that does not stink up your house once you use it a few times then you need to consider the Miele Complete C3 Brilliant PowerLine - SGPE0. It makes every other vacuum recommended to you by others on here a total AND complete joke. Well worth the 1500 price and has a SUPER large hardwood floor attachment which gets you done in no time. Yes, it uses bags but changing that bag is what keeps the machine from stinking up your house LATER when you turn it on after previous uses.

Eufy G-30 remote. Had Roomba, and Eufy is much quieter & more efficient. Works well on hard floors and low to normal pile carpet. Only use upright now for lanai and garage.

Skippy05, I Googled the vacuum cleaner you recommended and watched a video from a retailer who sells the product. While I am not currently in the market for a vacuum, I will definitely keep the Miele in mind when/if mine breaks down. Although a bit pricy, it looks amazing! Thanks for the posting.

Since this thread has drifted in to more expensive options I recommend a whole home (Central) vacuum. The built in vacuum address every downside of vacuuming. The unit it self is powerful, large, with huge bags yet always out of the way in the garage. Loud but barely heard. Easy to use with the hose is within the pipes in the wall. Change the bag every year or two. Turn on at the inside wall port - convenient

I will admit, as a male, I thought it was a waste of money but I was wrong. It is no more of a luxury than say, electric attic stairs. These can be easily installed on an existing home.

I use and love my shark rocket cordless. One button change from the hard to carpet settings and very long cord so minimal moves. Has various head options for under refrig etc. and hangs neatly on the wall by my dryer. For quick dusts of the floor, I use a microfiber dust mop. Mine is pine sol brand but there are others. Head comes off easily for washing.

I agree, vacuum with any brush and clean with wet jet. Very easy and efficient.

It is SO rewarding after running it to see the cannister full of dust and hair. I LOVE our DYSON.

Works great on Carpet too.

We're on our second Dyson cordless too. Dyson replaced the battery for free when it quit running after ten years, but that wasn't the problem. They were going to take it back but offered us a newer version for half price.



My friend with a Golden has both the Roomba and the Dyson. She attests to the fact that the Roomba does not get into all the corners where the Golden "angel hair" collects.


Our second Dyson is an Animal V7 or something like that. It's purple too. They have made it easier to empty. Man, does it fill up with angel hair.


I may not always have a husband, but I will always have a Dyson!

Get one with a manual height adjustment and the beater bar (Brush roller that spins) can be turned off.

If you want to go light and quick, a quality microfiber mop will do. If you want to vacuum, a simple stick vacuum like the Dirt Devil Power Stick will work just fine. About $39 for either - why pay more?

I had a central vac up north but found the long hose to be bulky and heavy. I prefer a cordless stick vac and there are many good quality ones available.

I have the same Electrolux cannister we bought when we got married back in 1990. I use it on the two carpeted rooms in the house and the upholstery on all the seating (except the cane-backed chairs that get wiped down with a damp cloth every once in awhile).

At some point I might consider a steamer for uncarpeted floors, but honestly the swiffer wet jet works just fine.

I have the MooSoo k17 cordless vac and absolutely love it. It weighs only 3 lb goes under very low furniture does a great job on edges, wood tile and carpet. Has two suction levels and lasts up to 30 minutes on one quick charge. It comes with several useful attachments and I love how easy it is to use for cleaning my car since I can detach the long tube and just attach a crevice device for the car. Makes it so easy and simple to clean the car. You can get the k17 red model on eBay for as low as $100 or get the newer k 26 for up to $150 on Amazon. Much cheaper than a Dyson and many customers claim they like it better than their Dyson if you read the reviews on Amazon. I have cats and love how much hair it picks up and it does a great job picking up kitty litter as well. You can buy an additional lithium battery if this one ever dies but I've had mine for over a year now and it is still as strong as ever. This little machine is actually fun to use makes me vacuum more often as it's so quick lightweight and easy to use. I highly recommend it.
