This is actually a mild case. The front roller gets absolutely road blocked with dog hair. So my friends, what vacuum am I upgrading to next because this was never an issue with our Dyson V10 Animal. Willing to pay up to $1500
I have had this cross wave for a while and it has stopped working. Im in the market for something new. Id really love an option that you can use just the vaccum function vs it always being a mop vac. I would ideally like a corded one. I have a lot of pet hair so that's something to keep in mind. Any recs? The only thing I didnt like about the cross wave was it couldn't get right up against baseboards and such on the side. Budget: 300 or less. Floors: tile, hardwood
So, I like it overall. What I do is, I take my gaming chair and I kinda like, surf the floor while using the Dyson vacuum to ... you know vacuum... I vacuum and push with my legs into different places across our house. Only issue is the battery life. On boost mode it is like 20 minutes. But, it's okay for cleaning like, 3-4 rooms at a time. It's super light too and I the suction really SUCKs to the floor. I also really like the green light that comes out so I can do it in the dark.
I got it for about $800 and I have 100% hardfloors!
I’m looking for a cordless vacuum because my toddler keeps unplugging the regular one, and I’m tired of chasing the cord around the house. We have a mix of hard floors and carpet, plus a golden retriever who seems to shed an entire second dog every week. My budget is around $300–$400, but I could stretch to $600 if the battery, brush roll, and filtration are genuinely better. I’m comparing the Dyson V15 Detect, Miele Triflex, Shark Stratos, and Simplicity models. Which one has held up best with daily pet-hair cleanup, and are the expensive Dyson models worth the maintenance hassle?
It seems like there's barely any bagged electric power head vacuums out there in Australia besides ones that cost $1000 to $1600 AUD, the most popular being the Sebo E3 Premium. The vacuum I was looking at originally was the Miele l1 cats and dog, but the issue with this one is that it doesn't come with a electric power head but a turbo one. I will be using this vacuum for our 4 bedrooms which have medium pile carpet (10mm).
Would buying a mid range to high tier cordless vacuum be better than a Miele that only comes in turbo head for Australia?. I did read that basically all of these cordless ones run using a electric power head and not a turbo head. I now wonder if a decent cordless vacuum would be better than using a Miele on a turbo head brush.
EDIT: I have just discovered that godfreys (Australia brand has a couple of vacuums that are powerhead based). I wonder if these would still be better than the Miele with a turbohead since these operate with a powerhead instead.

I need a vacuum/mopping unit that can handle some dirt and sand without making the floors a muddy mess. Also can pick up dog hair- more floating fluffs of hair that don’t tangle. Not concerned about price. Hardwood with some tile. One washable rug.
I currently have an older Dyson stick vacuum and it's no match for our large breed medium hair dog who sheds enough for 10. I thought I'd like bagless vacuums and I like not buying bags but I'm thinking of going back because there's no way to clean a bagless vacuum really well. Every time I turn it on I smell dog. It's always dusty and there's no way to clean the inside. So assuming the capacity is in the 3 - 4 litre range, how many bags do you go through per month (or year)? I'm want an idea of the ongoing cost would be. I'm looking at either sebo or miele. Any other thoughts on choice are welcome :)
Just bought a new Samsung Jet 85S, it came with a Jet Dual Brush+ (VCA-TABF95). Turned it on and faced this loud noise coming from the brush, literally sounds like a hammer drill, much louder than the vacuum itself.
Is it normal?
Before installing the lens I swear I could see the dirt in the next room. The lens probably cuts the brightness in half, but it's still way better than an incandescent.
We’ve had an upright Riccar for over 20 years and it’s time to get something new. We have a mix of hardwood that we don’t want damaged (rental), area rugs and low pile carpet. Having a good hose and extension wand with tools are important as well as a filter for my allergies. Not sure if HEPA is still the gold standard? I don’t want bagless. Price range $400-800 but willing to consider higher. Thanks! ETA: basically what are the pros and cons to another upright or switching to a canister like Miele/Sebo?
Everything I’ve done has not changed the sound . Any idea what’s wrong w it? I just got it in February. It’s a Bissel power drive swivel, I also think I’m missing a piece on the side because the side house does not fit into anything and stay put. And it sounds like a lot of that noise is coming from that hose part. I did have to get a replacement because the first one I received broke right out of the box, so this is a replacement model, wondering if they forgot a piece or something. Help
Hi,
I want to shoutout an FYI.
I have bought 3 Tineco Stretch S6 Vacuum mops and all three were used. One was stinking because someone had left the used roller in. The second was badly packed with the Tineco solution half used, and the third had no Tineco solution or cleaning brush at all. I have escalated all the cases to Amazon and they confirmed they will be (destroying/ something to that extent) all the return stock they have. All the Tineco products also have warning for high returns on Amazon.
I have the third Tineco unit with me and am expected to return it to Amazon tomorrow.
However I do note that the warnings on some products are gone for some product listings. I guess this is why Tineco has multiple listings of the same products on Amazon.
Despite some claims, this definitely isn't a pre-existing design, at least publicly. Definitely made by one of the big Chinese OEMs though.
Hello! I have looked through several threads and gone back and forth with Claude.
First- I live in a rural area so there is a dearth of vacuum stores around me. Ill be looking at an online purchase.
I have a big home thats equal parts wood and carpet. We and our dogs spend 99% of our time in the non-carpeted areas, which have a good number of low to mid pile rugs.
My stupid shark vacuum is giving out after 4 years.
I see that Mieles and Sebos are great bagged choices. However, all the configurations are a bit much to sort through. And, many configurations seem to require constantly changing the vacuum head (i think??). I’ve looked at the Sebo Felix which seems convenient, but i guess that is meant more for carpet. The canisters look like a total pain but I’m open to them.
I don’t really fancy changing the heads constantly and want to flow from wood to rug easily. I don’t love cleaning.
Healthy budget! Someone please bestow their wisdom upon me and tell me what to do. Thank you ❤️
After six years, my Bissell is giving out. It's worked great and I've been happy with it, however the time has come to find a replacement.
A Miele or Sebo is a little bit out of the price range unless we got lucky on the marketplace or were able to thrift one. Maybe one day in the future, but right now it won't be in the cards, and I'm ok spending a couple hundred (max $400 maybe $500 if it's really worth it) - for something that will last at least another couple years - or as long as my Bissell did - till we can afford something nicer.
We're looking for something reliable and that could last a long while, without dropping a thousand dollars on something. Open to any brands, gonna be used for general cleaning - mostly hardwood apartment (noise is fine) with some large area rugs throughout. A dog that sheds a decent bit. Otherwise just gonna be used for general cleaning, and some upholsetry and furniture, so a hose with some attachments would be nice.
Please drop your recommendations! TIA
I started looking into this sub because I want to get a semi-decent vacuum for my new apartment. I do have a medium sized dog that sheds. I currently have a roborock that will be doing the daily suction, but I want something to use for weekly deep cleans. The apartment is all hardwood, but I have a couple 8x10 rugs. Would ideally like to stay under $400-ish
Hi,
Looking for a new vacumn to replace my old one, but am confused about which model to get if my home is split between carpet and hardwood floor? I do not have a preference for the build type, and have a budget of up to ~$600
My friend was borrowing it and tried to force it to unfold. Can this be fixed?
Hi everyone! I was hoping I could get some recommendations for my first cordless vacuum. It's for my 2nd floor that is tiled. Mainly to clean up dust and pick up long hair that falls on the floor. 4 people household, 2 adults 2 toddlers. Looking for one that can get under the bed and have attachments that I could also use to clean behind the toilet, windows etc. my budget is 200-300 but if I can find cheaper even better. What would you guys recommend?
I was eyeing the levoit lvac200 since it's very affordable but I don't know if it'll satisfy my needs. I also saw some vacuums come with a station to empty out the trash, do the budget options also have that or is it for the expensive ones
hi everyone! my current vacuum sucks at picking up cat litter; it just flings it all over the room or when i go to put up the vacuum all of the litter falls out of it. we have mainly carpet so i’m looking for something that has good suction power and won’t let the litter fling out while vacuuming or when i go to put it away. i’m honestly okay with any price range as litter being everywhere is driving me crazy, however i would prefer an actual plug in vacuum and not a roomba or similar. thanks in advance!
ps. please don’t tell me to change cat litter, my cats are the problem not the litter, they fling it everywhere.
