Because a friend purchased a different vacuum last week, I feel a responsibility to inform you of the only brand of vacuum you should buy in the US:
Miele S4212 Polaris Canister Vacuum Cleaner
(Amazon affiliate link - hope that’s cool.)
It’s a beautiful, quiet, powerful, reliable workhorse of an appliance. Your department-store Kenmore, Hoover, Eureka and whatnot aren’t even in the same category. Dyson won’t save you either - these are all built to be loud and fast, and motor speed and power does not make a good vacuum cleaner and more than a fast CPU makes an eMachines PC a good computer.
I have never heard of a dissatisfied Miele customer.
P.S. The Polaris is the basic, one-pet model. Add a dog and kids, and you’ll want something beefier.
I could not agree more. I own this vacuum. I love my vacuum.
