I have been interested about vacuums since I was a child. My actual enthusiasm for vacuums started about 10 years ago.
Note that first 8 years I didn't collect vacuums. I always had just a one vacuum at the time and when I wanted new I sold the old one.
My major interest now is how different vacuums clean carpets well.
What I think is the ideal vacuum cleaner. It must be: Well made, quiet, powerful, good agitation, long hose and cord (canisters).
So to my story:
I had a basic straight suction Miele canister (can't remember the model) and I was frustrated how much effort it took to clean the carpets. I thought that there must be a better way. So then I bought my first turbo brush and it improved things a bit. I went through several vacuums still using the turbo brush and thinking that I am cleaning my carpets well.
Problem was that it didn't work well at all on the high pile carpets. Then I started to watch vacuum videos from youtube and there it was. I really wanted a powerhead. Well living in the Finland means that almost all vacuums are straight suction canisters. So just finding one powerhead was a pain. Note that uprights are almost non-existent in the Finland.
Finally I was able to find my first powerhead (small Miele SEB-217). That was the major turning point. It was very obvious that I started to see clear improvement in cleaning result. I was so excited about it that I took my first "power team" (Bagless Electrolux UltraPerformer + Miele SEB-217) to my parents house to demonstrate it. And yes I filled the bin in no time. They were shocked and I even loaned it for them (my mother wanted it). They had it a several months until they returned it to me.
Next major step was my first upright = Kärcher (Sebo BS36) It was previously used in the furniture shop with wall to wall carpets. I never forget that moment when I first used it. Just hear that big brushroll to start and agitate the carpet was big thing for me.
And of course I also wanted a full-size powerhead. So finally Electrolux introduced their first full-size ph for the Europe. (USA has always had different powerheads).
So Electrolux Paragon ph is my latest purchase.
In the pictures my first and latest vacuum cleaner.
