Best current Vacuum Cleaner money can buy

[slair76116]

Hello everyone this is my first post here,

Me and my wife live in a 3 bedroom apartment, she is allergic to everything and I have breathing issues and use a cpap machine to sleep.

We have no problems with a budget and would like to know what would be the best current production vacuum money can buy.

we live in europe and so the machine must work with 220v.

appreciate any advise you can give as I have been researching for some time with no clear picture.

well it depends if you want something that's easy to use and everything is on board or a vacuum that's heavy and it's difficult to use and you have to attach the hose to use it above the floor.

Since you're in Europe, I would highly recommend looking at SEBO and Miele. Both are German manufacturers. Miele predominately offers canister/cylinder cleaners. SEBO offers both uprights and canisters/cylinders.

Both are very quiet, extremely durable, excellent performers, and offer hospital grade filtration.

If you are looking for an upright and have no budget restrictions I would recommend a Kirby Avalir or a Riccar Radiance which is a Tandem Air vacuum. Both of these machines are the highest performance vacuums you can buy and both have excellent filtration. The Kirby is available in 220 volts but you will need a transformer for the Riccar, but it's well worth it.

i would suggest the dyson cinetic big ball or dc41mk2 and sebo

There are many excellent machines available

I would suggest you visit a vacuum shop that has a variety and test drive several.

The ones mentioned above are all quite good. If dust allergies are a problem, you may want to steer away from bagless machines.

I might also suggest a Rainbow or other water capture machines as they are very good for allergies. Looking at where you list your residence on your profile, I feel the water would help cool things down; but not sure if the plastic can take the heat.

I agree with Matte Miele or Sebo would be the way to go if you want a bagged machine.

For an upright the Sebo Felix Pet would be an excellent choice. If you want a cylinder cleaner a Miele S8 would suit you well. They both have the highest filtration level.

Rainbow, Pro Aqua, Delphin. All water filtration machines. Wet dust cannot fly. No bags or filter to buy or change. All are available in Europe. They are the ORIGINAL 'no loss of suction' vacuums. Rainbows have been made since 1936, and is the best cleaner you can buy.

 

[marcusprit]

But how much would a Rainbow cost? You can get a Felix or Miele S8/C3 for around £200 Oh sorry Tom my mistake money no object.

Try a Rainbow if you like but personally I'd go for Sebo or Miele.

I'm not entirely sure about Europe but Rainbow's pricing is fairly consistent in almost all the markets they sell to.

 

[marcusprit]

What's the price in the US?

 

[turbo500]

I'd go down the Miele route personally. Purely because of the high filtration level and the self sealing bags. Go for one with the HEPA filters. Bagless vacuums like Dysons for anyone with allergies would be a big mistake. Regardless of how easy they are to empty, the user inevitably comes into contact with the dust and risk trigger allergies.

Miele and Miele parts and spares are widely available across Europe.

A big upright like a Kirby would be far too big for day to day use in a European apartment.

What about Rainbow Chris

Well...

<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><a name="start_28427.317543"></a>"The best current production vacuum money can buy" that could be discussed and debated forever and a day. </span>


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">Especially on here!

</span>


 


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">I would stay away from water filtration vacs unless you are able to try one out for yourself as there are a few downsides to them and don't suit everyone. (Constantly changing the water and cleaning the water pan as well as not sucking up large amounts of plaster/fine dust quickly) if you was doing home renovations etc. I do own two Rainbows by the way. Not that I'm keen on them.

</span>


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">Also the spares/service in Europe for Rainbow (for example) are allot harder to find than in the USA.</span>


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">Also allot of the of the new water systems like Rainbow are sold via "Direct Sales" just like </span>


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">Filter Queen,Tristar,Kirby etc and will have a RRP over £2000 or Euros if your in Europe. Not that that's necessarily a problem and you should be able to negotiate the price down.
</span>


 


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">If you want something more affordable go to a department store or specialist vacuum cleaner shop and try a few out for yourself like Sebo,Nilfisk etc.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">I hope you find something that you like.</span>

Yes agree with you there James about Bungal I mean Rainbow. There are some people on here I wish I cud zip their mouths up haha

If you have breathing difficulties, then any bagged vacuum will be good for you.

Whilst there is Miele, and dependent on where you are in Europe, another good brand is Rowenta. Sadly they don't sell many of their models in the UK but they do well in other countries with plenty of spares such as filters and bags.

Dyson is the only bagless vacuum with hygienic bin emptying. Why? Well...

You can seal a plastic bag on the bin then press the button which is located ON THE TOP and release. Wait 10 secs for the dust to settle and then put it down on the ground. You dont touch any dust. And then put it back on the machine.

 

[suckolux]

With my kitty fuzz, I have to reach up inside and pull it out!

One press of the cyclone catch and the dirt falls out
