I’m looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me
Edit: thankyou all for the recommendations, I appreciate it!
I realized, although vacuums with bags are in the daily financing more expensive I guess, they are more reasonable to consider in my case
If the bags are negotiable and you’ve got the extra cash for one, buy a Miele.
It has incredible suction power and has the added bonus of having a very good filtration system that will also clean the air around it.
Sebo also makes a great “premium” vacuum, but like the Miele, it also uses bags. I feel like the best vacuums tend to use bags.
I will second this.
First off bags are better in terms of filtration and release when emptying. OP you asked for best, well best uses a bag system.
Second the Miele C series is basically a tank. A true buy it for life item that will last decades if you take good care of it.
Agreed about Miele. Our White Star has given us 24 years of reliable service. The only problem was the cord retractor stopped working (at about year 15). Now we just wind up the cord, no problem. Definitely would buy again. PS: We’ve had pretty good luck with off-brand bags and HEPA filters.
Where do you say can I get those off-brand bags? I’m living in germany
And what are HEPA filters? Special filters for the vacuum?
I’ve found off-brand bags on ebay, I believe Amazon has them also (but I seriously avoid buying anything there).
HEPA filters remove very fine particles from the outgoing air. Our White Star model has such a filter, which is easy to replace and seems to make a significant difference.
Our previous vacuum would pick up most of the dirt but also threw a lot of dust into the air. This Miele White Star doesn’t do that.
PS: I’m in the US, so your results might vary. Tschüs!
Thankyou for the feedback :)
The bags are actually negotiable. Do you have a specific model in mind? Or I’ll just choose from the selection they have what seems to fit best for me?
Any that’s made in Germany will be great. I think their cheapest tier isn’t, but their miserable is solid. You don’t need to use the brand name bags, either. Knockoff bags are way cheaper.
You can get one from Costco and get the amazing Costco warranty, too.
If you have a lot of carpet you probably want an electric/powerhead attachment (the spinning brush uses a separate motor instead of airflow). For hardfloor with the occasional rug, the bare floor and maybe a turbo head should be enough.
Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.
Agreed. My Miele also has a very long cord compared with my previous vacuum. (Which was a bagless Dyson I grew to hate. Heavy, cumbersome, awkward to keep clean.)
Another vote for this. We’ve used Dysons and all sorts of other vacuums. The Miele is hands down our favorite.
