Vacuum

I have bought Xiaomi x20max because it had anti tangle brush(it cuts the hair with razor attachment, I think it’s kid safe) and washes the mops with hot water and then dries it. I use it daily since I have dogs and cats and me at home shedding hair constantly, it’s working great doesn’t stuck (maybe couple of times) never fell from the stairs, and also I keep home tidier so it doesn’t stuck on things.

I was eyeing roborock qrevo but Xiaomi got discount so I got that one and quite happy with it

Using basic model Xiaomi e5, good enough for me

i wipe up the big greasy stuff first and let my dreame X60 max do the rest. we get those greasy footprints and little marks around the kitchen all the time. i use the cleaning solution and hot water mopping there, and i’m usually not going back over the floor afterward.

I don't know about warranties in the US, but here in Singapore I bought Dreame (X40 Pro Ultra) because it had two years warranty when Roborock was only one year. It has needed service once for a faulty wheel motor. It cleans our condo's common areas every night and bedrooms 3x per week (1020 hours of use currently).

These things have tons of moving parts and will break down eventually. If you're handy, most of the parts are available on AliExpress though.

We asked a sweeper repair man what he suggest and he said a Panasonic

Old panasonic appliances are really so long lasting

I’ve loved my Hizero. It is quiet, cleans very well, picks up debris as well as mops, and does not leave an overly wet floor. The main drawbacks are it is a bit slow, as you should let the machine pull itself rather than pushing it. This allows it to grab dirt off the floor. The other is emptying and cleaning the machine is a step that you can’t ignore. I actually love this step, as I see how well the machine works. Look them up and you can see if there is a model you prefer. A local independent vacuum store where I live also sells them.

If you mop once a week. Then getting the wet vacuum is good. As for brand. I have no specific recommendations. Xiaomi ok. Russell Taylor battery not good. Mine now are hizero. Roborocks looks cool I wish I knew earlier.

I know this is an old post; but I have the XR and it's a fantastic little machine, right up there with Sebos Felix, D4, and the criminally unknown Tefal X-Force 15.60 in terms of how good it is and how much I enjoy using it (performance is also in line with my excellent Shark IP3251, but we won't mention that here!).

Anyway, how did you modify the Miele bags? I have the L1 cat and dog bags (think they're called TU?) and would love to know how to adapt.

Vacuum few times a year. Used to have Phillips but the accessory broke. Switched to Tefal TW4B71. Significantly less noisy, and lighter to carry.

It should cost between $140 to $200 depending on the shopping platform/store you are buying from and the promotion period

Do you have any specific requirements in mind?

Corvan Kxxx.. cheapest model. 3 years and counting.

using corvan vacuum only (not 2 in 1 mop function) so far ok close to 3 years.

Also, handheld vacs are never long lasting. They will fail, crack, snap, etc.

I've used Russell Taylor for few years, and it's holding on. There's tape here and there, but still going.

hot take - skip sebo unless you like operating a clunky device. i'm now with bosch series 2 bagged vacuum and it's so compact, yet powerful that I just can't imagine going back to bigger machines.

I bought the Bosch Unlimited 10 and it's amazing. Tbf upgraded from a very cheaper Bissell but the design is very thoughtful and works like a charm

Damn scam, not everyone needs water filled vacuum

Karcher Miele Shark much much better at around 10-15% of the price.

Hahaha i think karcher is ok if it's good, i can stretch my budget slightly for karcher, but bosch maybe not, any particular model from karcher ? im also looking at karcher WD 1 classic, which is about 250+, how's that ?

I narrowed my search down to the Bissell Powerclean Fur Guard, the Tineco Floor 1 S 5 and the Levoit Vortex IQ Pro.

I have 2 cats and both carpet and linoleum. After reading many reviews comparing the Pick up percentages, the canister seal and suction power, I ended up with the Levoit Vortex IQ Pro.

I had one of the Tineco mops, and it was great, but I will say one of the motors it uses for self cleaning stopped working not quite 2 years into owning it. I couldn’t get help through customer support or find any resolution online so I ultimately replaced it with the bissel crosswave. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles but was about half the cost and honestly works better. It too has a self clean option!

I just ordered a midea one. Hopefully the spare parts are easy to source 😭

I have wired one Midea 22l and very good.
But I still need wireless one due to some areas are hardly to be reached by wired
can you sponsor me one the wireless one?

I own 2x Samsung Jet series, one for each floor. My rationale:

Same 200W engine that ALL the manufacturers use since the 2019 and Dyson v5 - including Shark and Miele

Incredibly modular and parts are available online; engine units are £35 used where I am, every single component is modular and replaceable if it breaks

Replaceable battery like the Dyson

No screen like the Dyson. I don’t need another thing that breaks

motorized heads like all manufacturers since Covid

Good accessories market

If you want a stick vacuum go name brand. They have better performance and better warranty, shark, dyson, dreame, Samsung. I personally go through Dyson but a word of advice is to get the higher priced ones for better suction and battery life but if you want value for price grab a shark they have plenty of options

Dyson saja. Ease of mind. Mine had been used for years, daily use it to vacuum 1st floor and stairs.
Roborock also ok.

I will answer based on the data and information available from internet.
The best one should be Dyson, I'm talking in terms of their design and R&D development. But you will need to pay Dyson Tax together with the brand name.
The best alternative is coming from China side, they have their own R&D development and great precision manufacturing. It's either Dreame or Roborock.
Make no mistake that Dyson is the undisputed leader. However for value wise, I will go for Dreame.
*You can search and view any documentary regarding the listed company above. They are solid manufacturer with great idea n expertise. In terms of technical and design they are all at the world level.

Shark. If got more money to waste LG

Camping here as I’m also looking to get a cordless vacuum. Researched a bit for dyson alternatives and it seems that LG cordzero A9 and Samsung Jet are recommended by others (mainly US peeps).

Of course, there are both good and bad reviews for all, including Dyson.

My rm75 pery smith vacuum is still going strong after 4-5 years also.

yes come tumpang. i also look for cordless one.
last time use pery smith brand (cordless). buy around RM300+.
The motor broken already. Got asap. Last for almost 2 years.

I got the Sebo Airbelt e3 and I've never loved a vacuum more. I used to get the canister shark vacuums every few years but my god, the thing makes the carpet look damn near brand new again. Plus the roller pops out with the touch of a button for easy clearing. I have a long haircat and I finally feel fine with laying on the floor.

I need advice from professional.
I have allergies and asthma. I noticed lately, if I leave my shark out for a few hours with dirt in it, my allergies go crazy.
I live in a 800 sq ft apt. Mostly vinyl that looks like wood, and carpet in bedroom. Building is 60 yrs old and gets dusty quickly. No pets.
It was suggested to get a miele calima. Is it worth it for me to get a c3 or will a c-1 do the job?
I'm a sr citizen and need something easy to use.

Sorry but there isn't really anyone here who's going to recommend a bagless Shark or Shark anything

The guy that said Shark’s were the best vacuums? He’s not much better tbh.

I use a Miele C3 for weekly cleans (excellent) alongside a Shark cordless upright for spot cleans (not bad not amazing - bought secondhand and wouldn't pay full price for it). A Roborock S6 robot vac also runs daily (bought in 2020 so I defo got my money's worth).

I also have a cheap-ass Airbot cordless that I use to vacuum up crumbs from the table, etc. That thing has been a real godsend.

Airbot/Sterra/Xiaomi, interestingly enough the parts of Airbot and Sterra are interchangeable, found that out accidentally. I suppose its just oem? Last more than a year though. Good luck with your wallet purchasing Dyson spare parts if you decide to go with it.

There are a few bagged canister vacuums that are much better and more durable than the bagless canisters under $200. The Bissell Zing bagged and Eureka Mighty Mite are both under $100 and have hepa bags available. The Kenmore KW3010 $59 has large hepa bags and a long 30 ft cord. It would be my pick under $100 because the Bissell and Eureka have much shorter cords.

Under $200 I like the Powr-Flite Newton $169 and Simplicity Jill $179. They’re both better than the Bissell and Eureka.

With hardwood, carpet and a dog, I would skip Shark and Eureka if your priority is buying something that will last.

If you prefer a canister, I’d look at the Sebo E3. If you prefer an upright, the Sebo Felix would be my pick. Both have the ET-1 powerhead for the carpet and a separate parquet tool for the hardwood, so you’re not compromising on either surface. The brushroll also pops out easily, which is really helpful with dog hair.

They’re bagged, have excellent S-Class hospital-grade filtration, and are designed to be maintained and repaired rather than replaced when something eventually wears out. Both also come with Sebo’s 10-year warranty when purchased from an authorized dealer.

If you have a local dealer, I’d try both. They clean very similarly, so it really comes down to whether you prefer using a canister or an upright.
