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
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.
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!
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.
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.)
