New Miele I'm still interested in new vacuums, even they won't show up in the US. I do find it amusing that he keeps referring to vacuum cleaning as hoovering. British slang.

I bought a Miele C1, because I had mostly cement floors and a few rugs. I didn't like the job it was doing on the rug, so I have ordered the turbo brush for it. I talked to several Miele distributors, and they all said the turbo brush should solve the problem. The main reason I bought the C1...

It's not exactly beautiful, but I loved the way my old Hoover Constellation looked. It lasted a long time, too.

I have asthma,so filtration is the most important to me. My Miele also does fine with the other two criteria.

Here is the link to the one I mentioned. I had one and it did a great job. https://www.achooallergy.com/vacuum-cleaners/brands/miele/accessories/miele-stb101-handheld-turbobrush/

Niche Vacuums I had an expensive Miele for 20 years before it died. I moved to a place with no carpet, and tried using a battery operated stick vac, but it quickly died. I replaced that with a Von Haus stick vac that needed to be plugged in. It was okay, but it was bagless, and I couldn't empty...

Von Haus Arrived In the very well done manual, it clearly says the vacuums are made in China. My first reaction,as I took it out of the box, was that it looked like a toy. It's small, light, lots of plastic. It was very easy to put together, and the instructions in the manual about cleaning...

The Riccar looks very nice, but it's out of my budget. Thanks for the idea, though.

Thanks That one looks even better. Will order one from Walmart. It should be perfect for what I need. I have a messy parrot, and my Panasonic is too heavy for me to drag out every day.

Anyone have experience with this? I'm thinking about getting their corded stick. I need a very light vacuum cleaner. It's $39.99 on Amazon. Thanks!
