I know this might seem like an odd question, and this might be the wrong community (if it is, pls tell), but I’m currently looking for a reliable, but very cheap vacuum cleaners.
For years my family just bought the cheapest name brand vacuum that they could find in the nearest store, but they all suck (pun intended) these days. I think most of companies just whitelabel asian vacuums and sell them for as much profit as possible, and the end users end up with vacuums where random plastic clips break and the vacuum just not turning on, directly after the warranty expired.
Our new Philips one just kicked the bucket, and now we try to not repeat our mistakes. Is there any secret brand for our purposes?
We practically vacuum the whole house daily because of the dog hair. We’ve had bad experiences both with bagless and non-bagless, so that doesn’t matter, as long as the bags are reasonably priced. The budget is pretty much what the cheapest supermarket vacuum would cost, and probably not much more.
The vacuum needs to be available in Germany.
I hope theres some good household tech out there anymore, god I love capitalism so much
If you have any questions, let me know
Miele is always a safe bet. We bought a Bosch modular vacuum with a wall mounted charging station. It’s battery powered and you can swap the battery with your power drill. A little pricey but worth the quality. Especially the rug brush that used to be exclusive to Vorwerk vacuums.
I was never satisfied with home vacuum cleaners. At some point I needed a shop vac for sludge and I bought a kärcher Wd3. It’s big and loud but cost/effectiveness ratio is unreachable by any home vac.
I know it’s going to sound counterintuitive, but look for one that really sucks.
It’s not a full size vacuum, but I just picked up a Roomie Tec Stick Vacuum during Prime days for $45. I just looked on amazon.de, and there’s only one Roomie Tec vacuum, not the same as above, but it’s been good enough for a 500+sqft basement with a few throw rugs and 2 cats worth of fur.
If you don’t mind bags get an oreck vacuum.
