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.
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.

Real talk. Miele appliances are legit. Pricy, but they last forever.
Although their “smart” appliances have the worst UIs of all time.

That was Don’t Touch my Fucking Coffee. Classic.
