Choosing the best vacuum cleaner

Vacuum Cleaners – A Quick Buying Guide of Which Vacuum to Buy and When

I am getting a slew of questions around how to pick out the best vacuum cleaner. I understand that sometimes we can confuse you with our choices. Let me simplify things for you. There are various machines, each are best for different situations. So the real answer is “it all depends.” We do not bother selling the cheap and ineffective vacuum cleaners sold in the big chain stores. We only sell vacuum cleaners that REALLY work for the allergy sufferer. That being said, people who buy vacuum cleaners tend to fall into several categories. Please go to our store to read the our ratings and reviews.

You have bare floors.
Choose between the Sanitaire SystemPro or Miele Orion Standard package. For college dorm rooms, or limited spaces, the Electrolux Pronto 2 in 1 stick vacuum is a bargain at $99.97.

You have bare floors and a few scatter rugs.
This is a question of budget. Choose between the Electrolux Harmony at $298 or SEBO C2.1 at $589. Personally, I use the Sebo C2.1 in my home, and I love it. However, the Electrolux Harmony is remarkable value for money. Better value than any other machine at that price point.

You prefer uprights and have a few bare floors.
Eureka Sanitaire SC5815 Commercial top of the line is just the best upright vacuum cleaner around. I am interested to see a new Eureka Upright coming soon that is a bit cheaper, but it will not have some of the features of the Sanitaire.

You have a great deal of cat or dog hair.
Miele Capricorn canister vacuum and the Sebo X4 Upright. If you like canister vacuums the Miele Capricorn is our category winner and a beautiful machine. The Electrolux Oxygen3 canister is a new serious contender to this category and we were very impressed when we tested it out. The Electrolux Oxygen has a great deal of whistles and bells.

You have a good number of carpets as well as bare floors.
Your choices are the Miele Red Velvet at $1249, Electrolux Oxygen3 Ultra at $499.99 and Miele Solaris S514 at $649. For my money, I really like the Oxygen3; although I own and adore my Miele Red Velvet, it is pricey.
