So thrilled to see someone FINALLY speak about the incomprehensibility of the Dyson! One word; Marketing... I used to clean houses & would feel like crying whenever I saw it waiting for me because I knew three things were possibly going to happen; 1. The people didn't have an eye for what a dirty vs clean house really is and that it would therefore be a heavier workload that they probably wouldn't even notice afterward. 2. That the heavy, bulky, usually not working fully, Dyson would do the usual where it sucked up the carpet, but refused to pick up tiny little grains of dirt because of the confounding lip they have on the head. That would mean bending down every few feet to pick up the grains that just kept getting pushed forward on the floor. 3. That every few minutes I'd be stopping to clean the filter & empty the filthy, dusty container. On top of all of this you are fantastic for being HONEST about all of the products. I have to purchase a vacuum for a client's house that I'm decorating & I wanted to get a Kenmore or Panasonic because I have a baseline that beats anything I've every used, but I hear they're now not being made in Japan:(( So happy to have found your channel!

[@farelimm]

Oh. My. Goodness. Yes!!!! I hate dysons with a passion. I have experienced all of these things and I’ve heard other cleaning ladies say they love them. Why???? Are you seriously that unobservant of vacuum performance when it’s your job??? 😩 I am hoping to purchase my own vacuum within the next year just because I dread clients with dirty, clunky, broken vacuums. I kind of want a Miele, but I need to learn more.

Every time I talk to someone about vacuums, they always think their Shart is the best vacuum on the market. Yet, if you're going to see a vacuum cleaner on the curb for bulk trash day, it will be a Shart 9 times out of 10.

[@281cu6]

@Chris Christian Agreed. It's a shame people don't take care of anything anymore. That's beginning to be reflected in our market with highly disposable vacuum being a social norm now. Same thing with cars, I see people replace their car every 2 years all the time, and they never maintain any of them. They change it out the minute they have to replace a consumable part like shocks and pads.

[@mattjones7621]

What model Sebo do you have?

[@Heretechnocrat]

I found this list to be fair based on my observations with this channel and other sources. I was somewhat expecting Rainbow to be knocked down much lower for their apparent reputation for being a multi-level marketing firm, although I am not so sure how true this is (either way, better alternatives to Rainbow exist for lower prices). I found it reasonable for Miele to lose some of their status as an industry leader in vacuums for trying to please every segment of the market when those segments do not fully understand that they would be better served with proven, refined models (e.g. cordless vacuums that cost more and do less than a canister/upright). I will admit that I got suckered into the CX1 bagless model when there was a sale. I did not find your channel yet, there was an urgent need for a replacement from I brand that I trusted for ~20 years, and all of the other sources I consulted did not mention the issue I would discover after careful observation. Miele used a hollow gasket around the debris bin which meant that it was not tightly sealed shut and would result in course dust leaking out onto the walls and surrounding interior where the filter cylinder rested. I managed to recoup some of the cost by selling it off to someone else and adopted a SEBO D4, which performs exactly as it should. The firm also upholds design and business principles that I think you share too: 1) Function over form. 2) Access to affordable and durable parts. 3) User serviceability for reduced downtime. There just aren't many firms across numerous industries that impart these in their wares. You are the like the Louis Rossmann of vacuum cleaners and we need more people like you, those who strip the veil of marketing to expose cynical firms and then point us to worthier patrons. Thank you for your service :)

I'm a Central vac owner... I have an Imperium (Vacumaid) motor. Once you own a good central, everything else makes you sad. I fix & resell vacs from estates. The older Rainbows, and Tristars certainly weren't anything to sneeze at. I agree that Lindhaus is good stuff. I have their nozzle for my CV, and found one of theirs used for my parents. Kirby, Rainbow and Tristar's retail prices are mental......but it is a good machine.

[@kimr1967]

Unfortunately for me, my home could not be easily retrofitted for a central vac. I was all set to have a MD with hide-a-hose installed, but once they got a look inside my walls (generous sheetrock and overabundance of fireproof blocking), it was a no-go without ripping out large pieces of my walls (requiring $$$$ in repairs) and drilling through all the sheetrock. So I settled for a Miele C3.

What a great video. Man, thank you so much for bringing up all these manufacturers to my attention. I owned Dyson DC14 animal in the past and was actually pleased with it for 7 years. Next time around I thought, why not, and got an Animal ball 2. What a windmill move on my end; but never again will I waste money on dyson. Got a Miele c3 excellence from a friend to try, would probably like a bit of a smoother roll over a thick area rug, but it just kills dyson. Our area rug almost instantly got better looking vs. struggling to move the dyson over it. We are leaning towards Sebo x7 as we’re used to the upright vacuum and have 2 big dogs. BTW, great job exposing that dyson fanboy😂. Thanks again man!

Do you have any thoughts on Nilfisk? I was talking to a pro cleaner and he recommended one of their commercial vacuums for domestic use. The VC300 hepa I believe. He said even with heavy domestic use I can expect at least a 10 to 15 year lifespan. Not sure if you have those in the US though

[@kimr1967]

I recently purchased a Miele C3 Complete Brilliance. I like the machine a lot. The only problem I am having is psychological. I am used to seeing dog hair and dirt in a canister after vacuuming. Gross, yes, but it makes me feel good. Miele is bagged so I don’t see all that dirt. It’s going to be an adjustment bc I do believe that I’ve been brainwashed to expect to see dirt in a clear canister. I do think it belongs completely in the “S” category. I don’t blame them for making a quick “stick” vacuum. Plenty of my friends do not have carpeting and do not need or want a big vacuum. For them, a quality stick vacuum makes more sense. If Miele didn’t make one, they’d be stuck with Dyson, Shark, or a cheap generic. The Miele stick is superior to the other brands out there as well.

This isn’t me disagreeing with you of course, just wondering what a vacuum expert like yourself would think about my opinion. Thanks !

The reason Riccar is at a C is they don't last very long and they tend to be high maintenance. For the same price you pay for a Riccar you can buy a much better vacuum so the value is not there.

I have only my own experience with vacuums. I have owned a Miele now for years- two of them. They work well; however, what led me to get those was that I purchased an electrolux Oxygen something or other canister- orange and silver and it would shut off about every 10 min. I called for help and they told me that it was a thermostat issue. They refused to fix it under warranty because I bought it on sale and not full price! I could not believe it. I went back to the store (Sears) and they fixed it and it worked for about 2-3 months then did it again. Sears said it was wrong what they were doing but they also did not return vacuums after 60 days I was told. I would never by Electrolux anything.

I have owned Miele, Lindhaus and a few others but keep going back to my trusty 30 year old Tristar CLX with new motor (use price...almost free). Ugly as sin but easily as good if not better than those that top your list (although I see it near the top despite not hearing any comments on it). Also the Lindhaus was probably as good, looked like R2D2, and had an awesome power head. But took up more storage. Miele are reliable as well. The comments about Shark were very informative and I have to wonder now if some of the youtube channels that have lots of subscibers are getting greased to recommend those vacuums. Now I know where to go for an entertaining and informative vacuum review. Thanks.

Great review

[@exceptionalpress1762]

I’ve been seeing more and more Samsung vacuums, mainly their robots. Any thoughts?

[@mattheviewer]

Just curious if you have heard of Prolux - uprights appear somewhat similar to Simplicity (non Wessel Werk powerheads and uprights seem to use simple flat belts)?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yeah it's pretty bad quality from China.

[@henna_gaijin]

Definitely a windmill brain if they buy dyson/shark @full price; however, if those two brands are 70%-off , which they sometimes are, then they might be worth buying, don’t you think? Sebo, lindhaus and miele uprights obviously are the best but I’ve never seen any of those go on sale, let alone clearance, which shark/dyson sometimes do. So it’d be interesting to see this list revised, taking into consideration the discounted prices.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

You're right about being decent for the price if heavily discounted. I picked up a Dyson DC44 animal for $150 refurbished, appeared to be new, about ten years ago, still works. The downside of Dyson, is the planned obsolescence; every series seems to have accessories and batteries which though SHOULD work (batteries same setup/voltage) are intentionally made to NOT fit the next generation of vacuum. Basically, a rip off.

1:28 for posting a picture of her and saying what you said, I gave you a like hahahhaah. Loved that joke!

[@ecoconatus8089]

Thank you, honnest reviews are rare nowdays

[@davidperry4013]

I have an old thrift store picked Lindhaus that still runs like a top. Very pleasant sounding suction motor and amazing agitation. If it dies, I would get a Sebo Felix because there are no North Texas dealers for Lindhaus.

[@limp6986]

Nice one! What's the best lightweight cordless vacuum available right now?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Usually cordless vacuums are pretty heavy. If you're looking for lightweight you probably better off with a canister vacuum or a central vacuum.

[@CarefulSteps1]

as far as i Know, the Fantom vac was the first cyclonic vac..then the copyright?? can't think of the word ran out and others copied, like dyson. i loved the Fantom. i cannot figure out dyson... those stick vacs...why would i want the heavy part of the vac near my hand? and i've heard that many of the stick vacs cannot stand upright when you stop vacuuming. just so weird. thanks for your sharing your opinion re these things.

[@abrotherinchrist]

OK, so Lindhaus or Sebo for bare floors and high pile carpets?

[@user-rq7oc7wi4s]

[@nancymcgarry33]

What's your recommendation for a small apartment? Mostly hard floors but a large shag area rug so I prefer a power brush. What do you think about the SEBO DART UPRIGHTt? Unfortunately the SEBO FELIX is out of my son's budget. I also looked at the SEBO K2 CANISTER (but would have to go with the more expensive K3 with the power nozzle). I even considered the MIELE CLASSIC C1 Pure Suction.. would I be able to use the Seb 228 or 236 power brush with it? Another option, your recommendation of MIELE DYNAMIC U1? I have a Miele Capricorn and after 1 year (and $1200 later) the electric hose kept cutting out. So a little skeptical about Miele and would like to consider ones not made in China. Thank you!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Nothing wrong with getting a SEBO C1 with a turbo nozzle or dart which is really the same as the Felix both excellent machines. I'm familiar with the issue on the Capricorn I did talk about that in my review of it.

[@nancymcgarry33]

@@PerformanceReviews Thank you.. I just ordered a Dart.

[@cwatson42785]

Hey buddy what one would you pick between a Bissell powerlifter lift off pet or a hoover of the same price ($100-$150) that's comparable for pets and has a sealed system like that Bissell. Any suggestions for a hoover at that price over the Bissell? Thanks!

[@PerformanceReviews]

The Hoover Tempo or SEBO Dart is what I'd be looking at if you are bawling on a budget.

[@cwatson42785]

@@PerformanceReviews Thanks!!

[@MapSpawn]

I'm looking for a commercial grade stick vacuum, something like the Dyson Outsized but of the highest quality.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Lindhaus had you covered

[@Birddog103]

Just curious, where do you think? Windsor versamatic vacuums would fall on that list?

[@PerformanceReviews]

That product is literally made by SEBO

[@amethystsunangel1955]

What was the very last vacuum cleaner in your video?I didn't hear the name of it. I think you said it goes in the "A" category. Thanks for this video. Came across it as I was searching for a replacement for my Shark Navigator. Worst vacuum ever for pet hair. Any recommendations for people with LONG haired pets that shed like crazy?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Tristar I think was the last one. Check out my vacuum reviews playlist. And recommend taking a look at anything in the B A or the S category. The Zero-g in on sale right now and probably one of the best value propositions. kzbin.info/aero/PLiENBcs2au1ZRWI-gAi27BijYNHvbXpow

[@lockdot2]

What is the best reasonably priced vacuum in the A, or S tear? I was looking at Sebo, but they are like $400 for a used one.

[@omegadeepblue1407]

technically none of them are "budget" friendly since their quality is high. Numatic is only avaible on Europe meanwhile the other vacuums are avaible on America, you are going to expend a good amount of money but you receive what you paid. Try looking for a Miele, those sometimes get special prices

[@lockdot2]

Thank you Ome!! (:@@omegadeepblue1407

Hard hitting vacuum journalism

[@Ryan-sn6gn]

*Stares blankly at Shark in hall closet*

[@BullieDad100]

I just ordered my first Shark Upright vacuum( LA502 Rotator Lift-Away) based on what I found on Consumer Reports. Consumer satisfaction is 5/5 and their reliability is also very good. The majority of the Shark Models tested received high scores so did I do wrong in not repairing my 12 year old Miele Salsa? I keep finding lots of positive reviews for Shark vacuums so I'm at a loss.

[@PerformanceReviews]

You'll be disappointed and probably return it. Anything in sharks lineup has roughly a quarter the power of the Miele in terms of air flow. Filtration is also not nearly as good. You'd really have to put a lot of wear on your Salsa for it to warrant replacement so soon. It's a well-known fact that consumer reports gets bought off.

[@helenmak5663]

Repair and service the Miele. I did mine of 17 years and it runs like new.

[@Jeff-ss1fs]

Do yourself a favor, repair the Miele! Or if you want, I’ll buy it!

[@jocelynveronica6711]

This video made me realize I know absolutely NOTHING about vacuums. I thought I knew what kind to buy and now I gotta start over. 😅 This would be easier if someone had some suggestions. Cause I need a new vacuum asap.

[@PerformanceReviews]

This is a good place to start. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oavLdZKdqbKohK8

[@inhaleexhale]

I have a Miele cannister! It's old and needs replacing. I was hoping to get a Miele cordless stick, but it seems they don't make anything with a bag equivalent.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Replace it with another canister , stick vacuums are for quick pickups and are not nearly as powerful.

[@InfernoVor]

So you'd recommend against buying the miele cx series at all(the boost and blizzard)?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes . No reason to pay more money to run a vacuum cleaner.

[@InfernoVor]

@@PerformanceReviews ok thx for the heads up, been looking for a good one to buy and miele is the only high end brand accessible to me so helps a lot.

[@fruitarian]

The local vacuum store told me that they sell Riccar and Simplicity, even though Sebo and Miele are comparable, because the German companies don't maintain parts networks in the U.S., anymore. Is this true? Where do people go for commercial vacuum cleaners?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Man that stinks of a sales lie. The German companies have a heavy parts distribution Network in the United States it's often easier to get parts for those than a Hoover. I'd go to a different store personally.

[@fruitarian]

Is only the channel owner able to heart a comment? I looked through your videos and watched one on Riccar to find out why they aren't a top tier vacuum co. and are overpriced, but the video didn't solve the mystery.

[@LawrenceTimme]

We had a Panasonic before and now with have a Miele, the Miele is miles better. What a beast 💪😎

[@Linda-kk5lr]

Best for 1" + shag carpets?

[@marklloyd4153]

I had a Royal and found it only good on carpet . I mentioned on another video of your my home with all tile floors (3000 sq ft ) and area rugs . I have 2 dogs . I was contemplating buying a lindhaus 38 electric . I wanted to c what u though first as your opinion on vacs in my opinion anyway is the best . I have a Miele U1 red . It’s fun . I have a Sebo D4 I’m in love with . Who ever designed and built that vac had to have sold there soul to the devil to end up with being forever famous as the person that made it . Keep up the great work on your videos I get so much from them 👍🥛🍪

[@HydratedBeans]

I bought the uv700 from shark because I was at costco and needed one. Huge mistake, burnt out after 7 months.

[@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss]

Btw Numatic is awesome but they're not perfect, a couple of small failures that comes to mind are those pesky autosave pcbs and UDS motors.

[@Layarion]

PR, even though you mention a little of why some things go in which tear, what are you basing these rating on? and in what order? Is it customer server, warranty, performance? or is it just based on how often you see them in your shop for repairs? i wish you would have done a bit more to mention those kinds of things in this video. do you have another video? I'm shopping for a house vacuum right now and want something that'll not throw dust back in my face. It's a small house. the other thing is, could you explain more about why you hate bagless? if i understand it right, bags still are going to throw dust everywhere as soon as you pop them out of the vacuum.

[@joeynarciso94]

Layarion, If you want to understand why he does not like bagless vacuums, watch the video by Matt from House of Vacuums take apart the Sebo E3 and service it. He explains it all in there. Then you will want to dish out a thousand bucks for one of those - like me!

[@oscarmunos2710]

I can't afford a Miele C3. I want it because of it's filtration. What is the closest for $450.00 max

[@ChrisBartlett-gu4dt]

being pressured by my vacuum repair store to buy a Titan, didn't see it on the list, have you rated it???

[@PerformanceReviews]

Don't buy a Chinese Titan. It's a relabel of the old Panasonics from the 1980s.
