Vacuums that make you satisfied

[oliveoiltinfoil]

What vacuum do you consider to be you most satisfying to use in terms of making you feel like you have done a thorough job? By this I mean how man pushes and pulls per path does it take for you to think that area is clean and move on ?

Personally, I would say my felix is the one that does this for me. The way it stick down on the carpet, moves forward on its own and vibrates the floor, I only go over the same path twice probably.

dyson dc04 blue

For me, it's probably my Kirby Heritage.

It's a damn beautiful vacuum with a damn good clean. The way it glides across the carpet is great.

my concept 1 for carpet, silverado for other uses

 

[hi-loswitch98]

Probably when on a Cylinder Vacuum when the head sticks to the carpet, otherwise if it's easy to push then it dosen't feel it's doing the job properly.

My Miele S7 does its job really well in one pass. It has REALLY fast airflow, and powerful agitation from its brush to clean thoroughly. I know it deep cleans considering its brush roll beats really well, but it doesn't seem to groom my carpet as nice as my older Dirt Devil. I think it's because the chevron brush roll with its semi-stiff bristles just doesn't groom as well as a stiffer non-chevron brush roll you would find on most other vacs. However, if it beats carpet enough to make crumbs shake all over the floor, and has the suction to make the crumbs move towards the power head, it's one hell of a deep cleaner for all carpets!

Kirby and metal Royal for upright,NSS,Sebo,Meile,Nilfisk for canister.

Montreal Aerus Vacuum

For me, it's probably my Montreal Aerus Vacuum. It's a damn beautiful vacuum with a damn good clean. The way it glides across the carpet is great.

I like the Felix too, but I also like the X series, so BOTH when it comes to an upright.

Miele or SEBO for cylinders.

Dyson DC08 with contact head fitted is an unbeatable floor tool for suction sealing!
Dyson DC07 Origin with seals in the soleplate are my favourites

I've owned many vacuums, but nothing comes close to my Kirby Sentria when it comes to cleaning ability. The Sentria's awesome airflow and agitation is what does the trick. The new stiffer brushroll does an excellent job of grooming my medium pile plush carpet as well.

Filter Queen! I have mostly hard floors, so it does fine by my standards. For carpet, one of my Kirbys or Royals.

 

[jade_angel]

For me, the most satisfying one-pass performance comes from either my Filter Queen with upgraded (EBK360) power nozzle, or from my franken-Royal (880 with a 671 motor). Before the Royal wound up frankensteined, though, I think my Kirby Heritage II Legend did a better job.

Electrolux..Or my 801 Royal.

[alexhoovers94]

Why is that satisfying to use? It doesn't do anything!

 

[durango159]

I have a few favorites!! Love my old classics but also the more modern PowerMax style

 

[madaboutsebo]

My SEBO Felix Classic does an excellent job, picks up pet hair in one pass and grooms the carpet. You can always tell when I've use it the carpet looks clean and groomed. Very versatile too. Properly one of the best vacuums I've owned too. Followed by my Miele S7.

Oh no, come on Alex, don't start!

Id sooner be happier to push a Dyson DC01 along a floor than a "certain amount of certain uprights," simply because being 6ft I wouldn't have to stoop and get neck pain.

The question on this forum is simple - it isn't asking you to question other members on why a certain model should be satisfying or not!

 

[turbo500]

Oh no, come on Alex, don't start!

Telling Alex not to start is like telling Imeleda Marcos to come out of Saxone...

 

[alexhoovers94]

Quite true Chris although I do like a tall vacuum, what about a 1977 Hoover Senior Ranger, ehh, Ryan?

 

[turbo500]

what about a 1977 Hoover Senior Ranger

*snigger*....

meanwhile, in the north of Scotland, Jamie's ears have just picked up a whisper of a Hoover Senior Ranger.

 

[sebo_fan]

Dont like the Ranger - my parents had one and the baby sitter used to chase me with it - as a result I never liked the design. Much prefer the Senior underneath it! Also never liked the Hoover handle on the Senior Ranger - something about it is quite uncomfortable compared to the original Senior.

However times move on. For me, a satisfying vacuum should be quick at what it does and the SEBOs are perfect in this area with Miele, playing second.

Alex...

We all know, Alex dear, that a cylinder picks up more than an upright and removes more deep-down grit, don't we? I can see the grit in your carpets from here .

 

[alexhoovers94]

Dont like the Ranger

Ryan it appears one can never be pleased.

 

[alexhoovers94]

on. For me, a satisfying vacuum should be quick at what it does and the SEBOs

You do shock Ryan...How could I of guessed?

Rather than try and be facetious, Alex - either state what you find satisfying yourself and move on or don't contribute to this original post's question.
