    Back in my reddit days, there was a guy who did AMAs about vacuum cleaners that was actually incredibly informative. After talking and analyzing many machines, he suggested s couple vacuums. For my needs we got a Miele canister C1. It wasn’t cheap, but 8 years later it is doing very well. No fancy circuit board, straightforward, solid manufacturing, 8 year warranty, a dial controller for the suction. No problems at all. Probably will last another 20 years. It’s a great machine and has paid for it by not needing replacements. The closest thing to a complaint is that I wish the cord was about 1.5 -2m longer so I didn’t need to unplug it to change outlets 2/3 of the way through, mostly because I’m lazy.

      Real talk. Miele appliances are legit. Pricy, but they last forever.

      Although their “smart” appliances have the worst UIs of all time.

        I just recently took the dive into their appliances, I got the C1 blizzard canister vac with the power head. Their washer and heat pump dryer and I’m probably going to pick up a dishwasher from them as well. It’s definitely difficult spending over $1,000 on a vacuum and then walking through Costco and seeing piles of them for 300 to 400. But I am having faith in everything I’ve read from both users and technicians that this vacuum is basically going to outlive me and any children I may have.

        It’s definitely very powerful, more than any other vacuum I’ve had. And yet it’s also one of the most quiet vacuums I’ve ever had so I definitely enjoy that

          I recently grabbed W1/T1 washer / dryer. Grabbed them because I did a remodel, the contractors measured wrong, and I couldn’t fit my old LG units in my laundry space.

          If you’re tight on space, they’re pretty dope. That said, I do miss having larger units.

      looking at pictures of canister vacuums, I wonder why the form factor isn’t more popular. It seems incredibly convenient since you don’t need to always be pushing the heavy motor around.

        It’s the default in Germany I think. At least it used to be, knew no one who had something different as a child. Just a bit less convenient to store as they’re a bit bigger.

      Filter Queen is the only US manufacturer that I know of that makes a decent canister. And also has a very simple circuit. Cord to switch to motor. Also pricey but that fucker just doesn’t quit. I know people that have had one for 20 years, and other than a slight design change in the last decade, they all mostly use identical parts.
