Someone in my neighborhood is selling a (what seems to be newish) Tristar for $50. Can't tell much from the picture. Looks well used but decent. Worth it? Thoughts on Tristar as far as using as main vacuum? I'm not super familiar with Tristar, but my friend's mom has had one for as long as I...

bagintheback Thanks for the feedback! I do love my Rainbow - it's just not very time-friendly to use. I agree that the switch to bags would take some getting used to. I'm still considering all options. I watched a video from Performance Reviews on YouTube yesterday where he reviewed a Rainbow...

dysonman1 Interesting. I called some dealers close to my area yesterday. One, in particular, sold both Miele and Sebo. When I told him what I was looking for and why, he recommended Sebo hands down. In all honesty, I don't know that I can commit to using a bagged vacuum as my primary vacuum...

panasonicvac Again, thanks so much for the feedback! There's so much a person has to consider to make sure they'll be getting (as close) to perfect for their specific cleaning needs - especially at the price point of any machine mentioned.

panasonicvac Thanks so much for the feedback! Would you say there is enough difference in filtration to make you pick Miele over Sebo? Also, our carpet in the bedrooms is very thick. IS there enough difference between the power nozzles to make one lean one way or another? If I got a Miele, I...

AmtrakSebo1997 Same as my mom's D4. Old style with the cord held to the non-electric hose by plastic rings. She upgraded to a SE PN2 hose and power nozzle. The K3 is appealing from a price perspective; however, I don't like that the attachments seem like an afterthought. Like, why should I have...

dysonman1 While I agree there are less-expensive options, I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". As I said earlier, my mom's Rainbow D4 from '86 just died. There's not a "problem" with my E2 Gold - I just want something less time-consuming without sacrificing quality and cleaning...

To AmtrakSebo1997 Interesting. I agree, the D4 is not the best performing or easiest to use. I do like my E2 Gold. It cleans well and seems to keep the dust down in the house. I worry about a vacuum that uses a bag starting to get that musty "bag" smell from the dust and dirt just sitting in...

I am not a "collector", but I have had a strong interest in vacuums from a very early age. I would say I have a deeper knowledge of vacuums than the typical consumer, but I (without a doubt) don't know all the ins and outs like the folks on this forum do. I am looking for some (objective) advice...
