I agree with that for the most part, but we've got a bullmastiff, 3 cats and my wife and daughter shed an ungodly amount. The Roomba does a stellar job on most of our carpet, but most of it is the same consistency. It hardly does anything with the area rug in our living room as it has different lengths and is a firm material.

We go over everything once a week with our canister vacuum and it gets everything the Roomba misses, but if it weren't for the Roomba we'd need to vacuum every day or 2.

I got the Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum from Amazon because of your recommendation. It's absolutely fantastic!

No need to lug the full size vacuum all over the house.

Keep up the great work! And your video was excellent!

It's really easy to keep your place clean if you clean 20-30mins a day. Keep a list of tasks to do every day for a month and stick to it.

http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-clean-your-house-in-20-minutes-a-day-for-30-days-131142

The above link is amazing. I follow it and am able to clean my whole place easily. Deep cleaning is easy for me as I follow a schedule.

Finally, buy a good vacuum. My condo has only tile/vinyl/hardwood floors.

Thanks to /u/touchmyfuckingcoffee, I bought a Eureka Mighty Mite. The vacuum is amazing. I'm able to vacuum my whole condo properly in 20 mins now.

Buy a good steam mop. The Shark Steam Mop is a good model. You can get them for ~ $50. I steam my tile/hardwood surfaces once a week and steam my walls once every few months.

If you have pets, comb them every day with a steel comb. I have a Furminator. This cuts down shedding everywhere to nothing.

Finally, buy a good HEPA airfilter. The Honeywell 50250 is a good model. My condo gets dusty easily, and then I have to dust everywhere. It sucks. The airfilter gets rid of this for me.

Oh, and buy a slowcooker and prepare frozen meals (breakfast burritos, etc). You will save a lot of money.

I’ve been there! Here are my ideas:

Maybe a glowing led dog collar or a reflective dog vest for night walking? A dog raincoat is nice to have in the rainy months.

Pet beds always seem to need replacing.

I know you said she has a good vacuum, but one year I bought my parents a roomba for pet hair. I also bought them an eye vac because they sweep their kitchen so frequently and I thought it might save them from having to bend over so often.

You could buy ornaments with their names on them or pictures if she doesn’t already have them. You could also consider having pet portraits made by an Etsy artist or from r/artstore & r/hungryartists .

I’ve purchased catnip bubbles after seeing many internet cats enjoying them. However, my old tortie was NOT impressed. She prefers an actual plant that she can murder. You could grab a few plants. Heated cat houses are also a thing.

When all else fails, animal lovers generally seem to appreciate donations in their honor to animal welfare charities. Good luck!

Or you could buy an actual new one from Amazon Prime for $63 and have it mailed to your door: http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-3670G-Mighty-Canister-Vacuum/dp/B00002N8CX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421803653&sr=8-1&keywords=mighty+mite+vacuum

Usually just sweeping everyday. However, we're going to pick up an Eyevac like you see in barber shops and I think that will help streamline the process.

Nah looking for something like this. with some weird Ching Chang Chong letters on it.

Hey, sorry, I know this isn't an Ama, but I wondered what you think of my Henry the Hoover vacuum, if you have come across it?

Also, thanks for the interesting posts. I'm catching up with your ama now.

Depends... If you get a low-pile rug, the under $300 ones will work okay on them.

If you get a deep pile rug, I'd recommend a slightly more expensive model with a rotating agitator brush to go deep into the rug and clean it.

The under $300 models do not include a rotating brush. Which is perfectly fine for the buffalo skin as you don't want anything irritating it. However, for deep pile rugs, you do want that feature.

No rotating brush ($299): https://www.amazon.com/Miele-Compact-C1-Suction-Canister/dp/B06XHPLYZL/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1521419545&sr=8-4&keywords=Miele+c1

With air-driven rotating brush ($399): https://www.amazon.com/Miele-Compact-C1-Canister-Obsidian/dp/B06XHQLDJV/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1521419545&sr=8-5&keywords=Miele+c1


Now, the top of the line, extremely deep cleaning, like... You can feel the power actually working, would be an electric driven powerhead. But those are gonna be a bit more out of your price range.

Does the Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team Canister that amazon has for $299 fit the bill? Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team Canister Vacuum,Obsidian Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team Canister Vacuum,Obsidian Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHQLDJV/

Jumbled mess excused. Reading comprehension I have, Hmm?

Probably meant a U1.

Riccar uprights, noted.

C2 Electro + good idea for uncertain future, check. I watched the video here, I gotta say it seems nice to be able to flick a switch to turn off the roller and switch to hard surfaces. The rugs come with and stay with the unit, so I have a weird need to go from surface to surface or sort of dart and squeeze...

C1 line isn't sealed (HEPA? Filtration?). What I'm hearing is "when the filtration of your bag fails, you will have nothing left in that department and your machine will spew out the particulates it's meant to capture, rather than kicking them around the inside for a bit longer until you change the bag like a decent human person".

The C1 is only $300 on Amazon ($350 for the Limited which I'm guessing has the extra attachments, which I'd spring for). Should I just make out like a bandit? At half the price, I don't think I'd mind buying another vacuum after I settle down more (geographically). What am I "missing out on" from the C2 Electro +? Just the seal? And the remedy is to be mindful of the bags?

The C2 can be had at nearly the same low price (hard wood version), but it doesn't say "electro +" which, I gather from my exhaustive and somewhat confusing delve into the vacuum world refers to the electrobrush, essential for getting dirt out of carpets with a cannister vacuum. Am I on the right track here? Don't skip the electrobrush, full stop?

I don't mind driving 80 minutes one way to buy a vacuum. I mind driving 80 minutes one way to evaluate vacuums and pulling the trigger under pressure and leaving confused and regretful. I was looking forward to driving To The City to look at higher quality vacuums but as I was getting navigation I noticed they're permanently closed. It's down to totally sketchballs shacks with no riccar, miele, or sebo at all. Electrolux, maybe.

C3 is bigger. Okay, I'm a giant 6'4" young man, and not worried about hauling around a little extra. You lost me at door vs pig tail and I really did search for images and pig tails and I can only guess you're referring to the power cord. I guess the C3 goes to the base and not the electrobrush attachment? Something like that?

All in all, I absolutely recognize and accept that I'm going to get what I pay for. I believe there will be drawbacks and removed attachments that make the $300-$350 range vacuums deal breakers. My sister loves her Dyson and I don't mean to dissuade her (and in fact I've used it and thought it was just fine, it's a higher tier model for pets and does the job in their small single story house). I could get a Dyson, but I feel like I would regret not getting a decent vacuum for the same reason you want a decent bed. It's not the most glamorous piece of your house, but dang if a good one doesn't pay dividends for your health and well-being and happiness. With that in mind, it sounds like a C-series is right for me. The C1 sounds like it's more of a cost savings and physically lighter model. The C2 sounds more like an all-rounder, and the C1 is King Kong Big Boy, same power and price point just bigger. Am I anywhere near the mark?

You've been very helpful already, thanks.

Allow me to introduce the two of you to EyeVac

Probably a canister vac will be more suited to this task. You will want good attachments personally I would take a look at a sebo E3 or D4.

They're all designed to last about 20 years/1000 working hours. and made in first world countries.

We tend to like bagged canister vacs. For what it's worth, a canister vac keeps its weight on the ground and just drags behind you. It's about the same weight if you have to carry it up stairs, but it's in two parts so it's way easier to carry.

Check this guy out.

It's got both a powered carpet head and a hardwood floor head included. It's corded which is way more powerful. It's bagged so you have to empty it far less often. The compact is also pretty light. And it's about $120 less than the dyson.

That said, the total package weight on Amazon is 3x as much. That includes multiple heads and accessories, so it doesn't weigh that much in practice. If you have stairs, this will definitely be harder to move up and down. That said, doing my stairs is the ONLY time I ever even lift my vacuum; it's meant to roll, so you never really have to pick it up unless you're storing it somewhere weird.

Hope that helps!

Most of our gifts were replacements or upgrades of things we already owned. A really cheap and awesome gift we got was this stainless steel scraper, which makes it so much easier to transfer food from a cutting board to a pot/pan. We also got a matching set of this luggage belt with a TSA lock--I actually gifted one to my husband years ago, but we used this as an opportunity to replace his now worn-down belt. We also replaced our kitchen scale with this Amazon Basics one, which works really well. Another Amazon Basics item we received was this paper shredder, which is a kickass workhorse of a machine.
One of the first gifts we got was a Corelle dish set that I LOVE--it's so much lighter and more durable than the stoneware set we were using. We also replaced our silverware set with an Oneida set that we both picked out, which was a very sweet and meaningful experience. We already have a nice Oneida silverware set, but it belonged to my husband's late mother, and he wanted to retire it so it wouldn't take any more wear & tear.
Those are all gifts that were my hands-down favorite things we received. We were also able to buy two expensive items off our registry thanks to Amazon's completion discount. We purchased a Sonos soundbar and a Miele vacuum that were absolutely worth every penny we spent on them!

Yes!!!!!!! I'm not the original commenter but I came to say fur remover. Best $20 I've ever spent. I'm saving up for a eye-vac to use with this broom.

Forget swifters. This broom is the real deal

Ok ladies: holy crap when that vacuum guy did those AMAs he recommended this beauty. I have a roomba too, but this thing actually makes vacuuming fun. The bags can hold a lot and it's nice to not deal with cleaning out the (expensive) bagless vacuum I used to use. This also sucks better. The cord is absurdly long, too, and it comes with all the attachments standard.

So. If you're in the market, I would HIGHLY recommend this. Cleaning hair out of vacuums is the worst.

I saw the C1 Classic Limited Edition version on Amazon for $295 ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QPCX9L/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A34NTJ7Q89G2YI&psc=1 )

I guess it doesn't come with a HEPA filter but I can add one for $30 or so. My question is would the mold spores simply be stuck to the filter (and possibly be an issue), or would they actually be trapped in the bag?

I doubt there's any stick vac in the world that will pick up after a contractor. You'd be much better off with a Mighty Mite. This is a full size motor inside a tiny canister that packs a punch. I normally sell my customers the commercial version which costs a little more but you can't buy them online or in big box stores. You'd have to order that from your local vac shop. The regular mighty mite will work just as well. It uses bags too which will help with your drywall pick up. You don't want that dust everywhere.

If you are looking at canisters for carpet, a power nozzle is a must. The Miele Capri will be fine if you have short carpet, but you may want to look at the Miele Delphi if you have thicker carpet.

I've had a Bissell Zing for about two years now and I really like it. It's small and light but powerful, it comes with a brush that has a setting for hardwood or carpet (I have wood floors but I've used it on some low pile area rugs too) and I've bought some third-party attachments that work really well with it. It's currently $88 but you can catch it on sale for $49.

Miele canisters are suppose to very good at controlling particulates. Though I don't have any personal experience with Miele Compact C2 Electro+ Canister Vacuum, it's apparently the Wirecutter's best pick for filtering allergen.
> Ultimately, some other vacuums match or nearly match the Miele models’ filtration, but we’re not aware of any that outperform it.

With all hard floors, a Miele C1 would suit you fine. Will beat any battery powered Dyson.

I have heard that if you go to a vacuum shop you can get the homecare version with better warranty for the same price. Wait for someone to chime in on that.

Eye-Vac EVPRO Professional Touchless Stationary Vacuum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011G20QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ptUyybVZK8XC0

Saw this at the hair salon I went to last week and decided I can no longer live without it for this exact reason.

I love my Mile. They don’t make the one I have but here is a cheap one on amazon Miele Grey Classic C1 Pure Suction Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Graphite https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P97CD5T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MbsRDbJHNE4N5

They have several options. Get the best one you can afford. Great for dog hair and works awesome on both carpet and hardwood.

While we are waiting on some more knowledgeable people to comment. My recommendation is a canister vacuum. This is a bit a bulk, but the dust capacity is higher than a stick vac. My go to recommendations based on this and your parameters are what are tricking me up. I have two recommendations, but both violate one of your parameters in favor of another. Both of these machines are US models and made in the UK. These are both bagged machines and are both energy energy efficient.

My first suggestion violates your cordless parameter, but stays within the other parameters. This is Henry Compact, I chose the compact version simply because it is the same size as the next recommendation: https://smile.amazon.com/NaceCare-903361-Compact-Canister-Vacuum/dp/B076BTX4M3/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=henry+vacuum&qid=1572264405&sr=8-6

My second suggestion violates the budget parameter, but gives you the cordless functionality and the second battery. This machine is the Henry Cordless and since it is the compact size, that's why my first recommendation was the compact: https://smile.amazon.com/Numatic-Batteries-Selection-Professional-Accessory/dp/B07DF45CZ8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2ZFHO8XSA91D4&keywords=henry+cordless+vacuum&qid=1572264153&sprefix=Henry+Cordless%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-3

You mention $400.. does that mean you wouldn't recommend this $300 Miele?

We dust broom to this eye vac in the corner. Works great. Then Bona for wet mop.

I just wanted to thank you for your last AMA. I bought a Miele C2 cannister vac as a result (could not quite convince the spouse to spring for the C3). I have mostly laminate and linoleum, with some area rugs and carpeted bedrooms, and two large dogs. The Miele does a really good job on the rugs, and I love not using a broom on the smooth floor surfaces anymore! I never would have known about this brand if not for you!

Best Vacuum for hardwood floors: Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum

I bought a Miele S2121 Capri Canister Vacuum Cleaner almost 4 years ago (Amazon link) and think it's pretty great!


However, it has an incredibly strong smell whenever I turn it on - I'm assuming it's the motor. I've tried replacing the bag and filter on it, but get the same smell, and it lingers in whatever room I'm vacuuming for quite a while. Any suggestions on what to clean or if there is something to replace that I'm not thinking about?

I also see the Mighty Mike Pet Lover, worth the extra 25 bucks?

If it's mostly wood floor and a couple of low-pile rugs, then the grey Miele C1 Classic would work for you. Don't know what a sherpa fleece couch looks like, but the vac comes with an upholstery tool for furniture, which you can simply switch it with the floor head.

I'm on a strict budget. How about this one?

Here’s the one I was considering - but I didn’t realize there were other options. How diverse is their product line and is there one that we should look at over another?

BISSELL Zing Bagged Canister Vacuum, Purple, 4122 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZBIV9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wdOoxb5A2PP49

Omg how have I been a dog owner for 10 years with hardwood floors and only got this when I was pregnant???

Now that I have a constantly shedding lab and a crawling baby, I use it daily on about 700 sq feet. Does an amazing job and my floors have never looked cleaner.

> Bissell

I am wayyy late on this AMA, but what's your opinion of the Bissell Zing? After my trusty Eureka Oxygen 6999 canister vac died after something like a decade of use, I ordered the Zing, seeing quite a few good reviews on Amazon for its performance on hard floors (I have wood floors, only a few rugs here and there, 3 kids but no pets). It's arriving today. Am I screwed?

Thanks so much for doing this AMA!!

I’m not a Hoover fanboy or anything, I just found some good deals on Hoover vacuums. Also, these aren’t necessarily the best deals or anything, I just figured that with amazon you can get it shipped anywhere

Whoops

The Capri has a "Turbo Plus" powerhead, is that an air powered - like the dyson Animal? The Delphi does have an electric powerhead.

Capri

Delphi

Thanks again :)

I'm moving too! Congrats on the move! I suggest the following items:

This for making muffins or fairy cakes (which is a way better name for them!)

This duvet to make your bed all cozy.

and This because it's adorable and useful and it was on an episode of Miranda!

Good luck with the move!!

our 15 year-old miele s 4000 just died

>I will say that if you try to use the non powered head on carpet you will be massively disappointed.

Since we have onlly hardwoods with an occasional area-rug, we were just going to buy this. I was more-or-less curious if the homecare line is worth paying twice as much for.

I wanted an Xbox One for Christmas but instead I'm going to get THIS.

Thoughts?

Maybe. I can see how it would be nice to have for small spills like that, but especially with Dysons, where the price is much higher, I can't justify spending that much money on a machine that would only be good for tiny spills and short cleaning. I think something like this Eureka MightyMite (< $70) is much better for that kind of spill, and way more value for your money. http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-3670G-Mighty-Canister-Vacuum/dp/B00002N8CX Especially since the Dysons are almost always $200+

Fellow pregnant mom (31 weeks) with a toddler (just turned 2) here. Don’t have any advice on the eating part but wanted to blow your mind with this amazing stationary vacuum you sweep things into. It will seriously improve your life.

It does have the powered head, it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CO18RM/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Miele C2 Compact+. Still love it.

After doing some additional looking around, how nicely would a Miele S2121 Canister Vacuum hold up for my requirements?

It is currently listed for $399 - is this a reasonable price? Would I be able to get a better deal by going to a dealership?

Thanks again!

I have a canister vacuum and a tiny apartment... and putting away the vacuum is such a hassle. Do you recommend any specific way to organize or store these kinds of vacuums? They just take up so much space.

I got the Mighty Mite on your recommendation from another AMA you did. Got it for pretty cheap with a ton of bags.

I feel like I'd go broke with a vacuum that uses a bag, has anyone seen these Miele bagless vacs yet.

Totally used the vacuum guy's AMA when trying to find a machine to handle Pyr fur!

I ended up with a Panasonic bagged vacuum. The Mieles were just too expensive, and I was worried I wouldn't get the powered brush. Did the C1 come with a powered brush head?

For OP, here's what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FBIN1I4/

It was about $290 when I got mine.

Thanks! Would the models below work, or should I look at something else?

PS: After reading up on these posts and watching some demo videos, I'm convinced I want to save up for a Miele S8 series for myself.

Eureka Mighty Mite. Amazing vacuum for $60. I have it for my 2k Sq foot house and it has incredible suction and is easy to use. Always go bagged and stay away from bagless vacs.

I have a much cheaper version of [this] (https://smile.amazon.com/Eye-Vac-EVPRO-Professional-Touchless-Stationary/dp/B0011G20QY/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1496203991&sr=1-1&keywords=electric+dustpan) (also an off brand not bought on amazon) and it's really awesome. It has a setting that senses when you sweep stuff to it and just sucks it up. My room mate is "floored" by it and loves it almost as much as I do!
   
   shrdbrd you lazy bum, heres some cool stuff.

I bought the Walmart version of a Hoover SH40070 (model # ended in a 1 vs a 0 to prevent price match) and it constantly amazes me the amount of dirt and pet hair it picks up.

Hello! It looks like this post is somewhat active so I'll ask my question here. I've been looking for a vacuum to replace our $50 Eureka and am currently eyeing a couple of different Miele vacuums on Amazon.

Miele S2121 Delphi

Miele S2121 Capri

I currently have enough credit to cover either of the vacuums, and want to make the best purchase I can. Any other specific models I should be considering? Our apartment has medium carpet, hardwood floors, and concrete, with the potential for pets in the future.

Also, is there any downside to buying a Miele on Amazon instead of with a local dealer?

EDIT: I've been combing through your comments on other questions, and have been looking more specifically at s6 and s8 models. S6 is probably more within my reach. Model recommendations?

Perfect! Thanks!

I had no idea about the HomeCare model and my mother just phoned and said she visited our local Miele dealer who offered that model (C1 Homecare) for $600. He also offered her a C3 Softcarpet for $700 which I see retails for $800.

So, here's my question: which model? I understand the C1 has a shorter cord and not as enclosed a filtration system, but is the extra $100 worth the upgrade from the C1 Homecare to the C3 Soft Carpet?

Frankly, I'm very happy with both choices as they seem to be fine options.

What should I be considering?

Would these be good for dog hair?

Is this the one? https://www.amazon.com/Miele-Compact-C1-Suction-Canister/dp/B06XHPLYZL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1538363038&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Miele+Classic+C1+Turbo+Team+Vacuum&psc=1

at 239.00 on prime that could be a steal! if its the right one...

I'm looking at the Miele C2 Complete. I have a mixture of tile, laminate, and carpet in a 1050 sq ft condo. (Carpet in living room and both bedrooms, laminate in kitchen, tile in the entry way and bathrooms.

Is this something you'd recommend? Or is there something that I could get a little cheaper that would do a similar job? I called around to the certified Miele dealers in my area and they said that they never have refurbished models because no one ever wants to get rid of them.. Must be a good sign.

Here's what I'm looking to get: https://www.amazon.com/Miele-Complete-C2-Limited-Corded/dp/B00US4DNMU

Great, thank you for the recommendation! I had actually been looking at this canister's big brother: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FBIN1I4

Although strangely, it appears to be unavailable right now...it was $329. Definitely an interesting option though, much lower in price and considering I've maybe vacuumed 4 times in my life heading into my new place, getting something lower end might make more sense as I learn how to use it.

I'm considering buying the same vacuum. Is this the one you have? I have a small apartment (about 1,000 sq ft), one dog, and no carpets. Would this vacuum be ideal for daily use? My husband thinks I'm crazy but I vacuum every day. And my current vacuum is falling apart, I need a new one soon.

I saw you're still replying to things in here as of a few days ago, so crossing my fingers you'll be able to help me out. My fiance and I want to add a vacuum to our wedding registry (expecting it'll be a "group gift" thing, since $$$). I was looking at the Miele Compact C2 Electro+, but wanted your advice:

We have two cats and a dog. I have somewhat long hair. We currently live in a townhouse that's fully carpeted, but we plan to move shortly after the wedding and wan't to live somewhere with hardwood floors and/or only partial carpeting.

Is the C2 Electro+ a good option for us? Or should we splurge for something like the C3 Cat & Dog? Also, is the SEB228 Electrobrush that comes with the C2 the same as an "electric powerbrush" that I saw you mention in a comment to another user with carpets?
