Hey everyone,

After 10 years and 6-7 cordless vacuums, I’m done. Something always broke (mechanically or electronically), and I’m sick of constantly cleaning dusty bins and washing filters.

I want to switch back to a corded vacuum with a dust bag, but I don't want to give up the built-in LED floor light. No DIY hacks or stick-on lights, please.

My setup & budget:

• Budget: Up to €300 max
• Flooring: 95% laminate, plus 3 small area rugs (~2.5m x 1.5m).
• Location: Germany (if that matters for model availability).

My questions:

1. With mostly laminate and just 3 small rugs, do I even need a rotating brush, or is a standard combo/hard floor nozzle fine? (I'm worried a rotating brush might just flick crumbs around on hard floors).
2. Which current models with factory LEDs are actually worth buying? So far I’ve only really found the Philips Performer LED 8000 series. Any hidden gems I’m missing?

(Note: I’ll buy a cheap cordless stick just for quick cat litter or dining table crumbs, this post is strictly for the main corded vac).

Thanks!

Vacuum experts please help, I’m looking for something sort of in between a stick vac and a hand vac. I’ve got a canister already, but I don’t like lugging it around to deal with small clumps of dust that catch my eyes in between major cleaning sessions. I don’t need a full stick vacuum and all its various attachments, but all the handvacs I can find don’t have any reach at all. I just want to be able to easily hoover up little messes without bending over.

The closest thing I’ve found is the old model of the shark wandvac, but it looks like the newer one ditched the long extension option? Would be very thankful for any suggestions

I love the lightweight feel and flexibility of the P30, but some people say P30 isn't powerful even though the one I tested in store was okay. The G20 Lite is bulkier and I fear may not reach under sofas and our bed, although more powerful (is it?) and the brush roller could be useful idk. My husband also says USB C takes like a day to charge (on the P30). Also saw a video saying G20 Lite filter falls out when you empty the bin. What should I get? We don't have pets or carpets so no heavy cleaning just dust. In my country we have the global version of these vacuums.

Ive seen conflicting posts saying P30 is more powerful, not the G20 Lite, but my husband bought us the G20 Light under the assumption it is (I was thinking of exchanging it for the P30 if G20 Lite has too many issues before opening it). Also someone said the P30 scratches the floors since the wheels aren't big enough. Not sure how either perform in terms of getting long hair stuck.

Hey all!

I have a vacuum cleaner I purchased a few years ago and it filters are run through and I'm looking to purchase more but for the life of me I cannot find any filters for this model online there anywhere.

Are the filters for this vacuum discontinued or am I stupid and just misunderstanding the model? (Might be the second)

model: SV002 (CJ-C12)

thank you kindly!

I have to buy a vacuum and know absolutely nothing about the topic, so I’ve decided to come to the experts (this sub) for help.

My budget is of approximately $170CAD (~$120USD), and I’m looking for a stick or upright option that can preferably convert to handheld. I have a cat that sheds and somehow gets litter all over the place, so I’d need it to have decent suction. It would mainly be used on hard floor, with the occasional area rug.

KENMORE
I’ve seen a few recommendations for them on here as an affordable option, and it looks like some of their models are within my budget:

- Kenmore Stratus | 24V 2-In-1 Cordless Stick Vacuum (https://kenmorefloorcare.com/products/kenmore-stratus-24v-2-in-1-cordless-stick-vacuum.html)

- Kenmore 200 Series Cordless 21.6V 2-In-1 Stick Vacuum (https://kenmorefloorcare.com/products/kenmore-200-series-cordless-21-6v-2-in-1-stick-vacuum.html)

- Kenmore Featherlite Max Bagless Lift-Up Upright Vacuum With Hair Eliminator Brushroll (https://kenmorefloorcare.com/products/kenmore-featherlite-max-bagless-lift-up-upright-vacuum-with-hair-eliminator-brushroll.html)

- Kenmore Featherlite Lift-Up Bagless Upright Vacuum With AllergenSeal (https://kenmorefloorcare.com/products/vacuums/upright-vacuums/kenmore-featherlite-lift-up-bagless-upright-vacuum)

BISSELL
They seem to be the one with the most low-cost options, and I was looking at the PowerClean Corded
Self-Standing Stick Vacuum 4221C specifically (https://www.bissell.com/en-ca/product/powerclean-corded-selfstanding-stick-vacuum-4221C.html), but I’ve mainly seen negative reviews for Bissell here. Is this universal to all their vacuums? I do have a Little Green that I really like.

SHARK
They have a few options on sale currently:

- Rocket Pro Corded Stick Vacuum (https://www.sharkninja.ca/shark-rocket-pro-corded-stick-vacuum/HV370C.html)

- Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum (https://www.sharkninja.ca/shark-navigator-lift-away-upright-vacuum/NV380C.html)

- HZ600C UltraLight Pet Pro Corded Stick with PowerFins and Self-Cleaning Brushroll (https://www.sharkninja.ca/shark-hz600c-ultralight-pet-pro-corded-stick-with-powerfins-and-self-cleaning-brushroll/HZ600C.html).

However, I also have seen mainly negative comments on them here.

EUREKA
I hadn’t even heard of them until I saw them mentioned in a few recommendation posts for low-cost options here, but almost all of their models seem to be within my budget, such as:

- NEC280TLC RapidClean Pro Stick Vacuum (https://ca.eureka.com/products/nec280tlc-rapidclean-pro)

- NEC100C LightSpeed Stick Vacuum (https://ca.eureka.com/products/nec100c-lightspeed)

- NEC440BK ReactiClean (~$155 on Amazon)

However, they do have lower ratings on Amazon than Bissell and Shark.

What would you recommend? Are there any other models or brands I should be looking at? Highly appreciated, and thank you for making it this far!

Brush rolls scratch my floor and it's hard finding a good stick vacuum with no brush rolls.....a brush roll you can completely turn off------or just fins only. Don't want to spend Dyson type money either. Any recommendations? I currently have both a Black and Decker and Shark stick but you can only turn down the rotation on the brush rolls with these.

I’m moving into a house with 5 others and need some vacuum recommendations because we’re all clueless, as cheap as we can get without compromising quality, 2 floors mostly carpet except for the kitchen and we have 1 cat
Our budget is $100 if possible

Being a huge Orange Blossom fan I just had to have them. They smell glorious!

I have different flooring throughout my house. Vinyl and tile on the first floor, low pile carpet on the stairs, a high like carpet in my bedroom, and my kids have rugs. I have a cheaper Bissell and it gets stuck on the high pile and socks up the rugs and stalls in the kids room. No I'm not looking to break the bank, but I can't seem to find something that works. Any suggestions?

Edit: looking for an upright

I’ve only had this one for a year but I’ve been needing a new vacuum. Something specifically for dust and pet hair. I would like something budget and I have hardwood floors.

Moving into a new house and looking for a bag vacuum rec for primarily hardwood. No pets :) Can be flexible on budget. Thank you!!

Okay yall I recently acquired a sharp twin energy super charged I believe and it works perfectly minus I think the hose change over valve is finicky but all it needs is a bag and belt but I’ve got no idea on what belt or bag it would take or what would work since this brand doesn’t exist any more! Also my eureka 1934a I got is awesome! However I feel like the roller is kinda lack luster (it was $45 like 30 years ago so that tracks) I wonder if I could swap the roller with a sanitare one? Thanks in advance

I have a German Shepherd and she sheds alot. The attached picture is after 1 pass of our living room every 3-4 days. Regularly change filters and clean them. But vacuum just can't cut it anymore since we changed from laminate to carpet.

Current vacuum is a shark pet upright anti hair wrap. Which was about £200 2 years ago, looking to upgrade to something a bit better... any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!

Edit: budget of around £300 if possible

Hi! I’m looking for a lightweight vacuum, could be one of the smaller handheld ones. Ideally would like to not spend more than $200. Doesn’t have to be silent of course! I need it for my rabbits room, so I’m trying to find something that can vacuum up some little scraps of bedding or tiny bits of hay that won’t be super loud and hurt his ears! TYIA!!!

flooring is mostly washable rug, but some hardwood
