"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."
"I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues ... It's the reason I bought mine because I have an even thicker rug than that and no robot could even climb onto it"
"I found that it was even able to get up caked on Kitty vomit if I simply sprayed those areas with cleaning vinegar beforehand. ... I was pleasantly surprised."

"I like the bag. Our bagless vacuums always made a MESS cloud of dust when trying to empty them in the kitchen. I'd have to go outside, and it would still make a cloud all over me. This was easy, close the lid on the bag, lift it out, toss it in the trash, put a new one in. It holds more than I'd typically think, because unlike our bagless, the dirt all gets packed into the bag, it gets more dense. So it holds more than you would expect."
"We've neglected the hell out of it. It has 1555 hours on it with minimal maintenance. Ran it every night for 4 years or so. So I always thought these things were tanks. It still works"
"All the parts that will have tangled hair (like rollers, empty bin, rotating brushes, and wheels) are extremely easy to remove and clean, almost with no tools needed. I literally take only ten minutes to remove every dog hair inside the system."

"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"I still have the Kirby my grandma bought brand new in 1970."

"They always miss the entire point of a dyson, which is completely convenience. ... I don't want to lug around a bagged vacuum, I don't want to have to plug it in, dyson retains the build & performance but makes it cordless and quiet."
"I love how light this thing Is you can flick it to next week! ... it's only 59g, so it's super light ... at first it was weird and I didn't lime it but it soon swooned me and I can't even use another mouse they're too heavy haha."
"after shifting to deathadder 59g feel much better."

"Does fantastic with dog hair."
"it's designed so well, it's a joy to vacuum 2x daily (concrete floors/live at the beach with a long-haired GSD, I vacuum constantly)."
"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."

actionvac-Box2165 1.0Riccar r10 s and special baseplate they make, 9 lbs like your oreck
yes I use riccar lightweights at home
dartheduardo 1.0I second the Riccar. I got my first just this last weekend the R10S and holy crap. My carpets and hardwood floors are so clean.
Ihaveadog5 1.0Like someone else mentioned, vacuums like Oreck XL or Riccar Supralites are pretty much the best at fluffing up the pile and leaving vacuum lines like that. The reason (I've always assumed, anyway) is because since they're lightweight and have smaller motors, they rely more on the brush agitating the carpet rather than just having boat loads of suction. The result is they actually do a pretty killer job at erasing pet hair and they make those nice carpet lines. These days I would opt for the Riccar Supralite model R10E or R10S(if you can swing it) over the Oreck. It's going to be a lot more serviceable. The Riccar will also run circles around an Oreck if the carpet isn't super low pile. Barely anyone deals with Oreck anymore but Riccar is pretty ubiquitous at vacuum stores.
Lucky_Guess4079 1.0Agreed with above, but for an upright it’s a Riccar R10S or P. Super light, huge hepa bag, awesome volume/suction great price 3 year warranty
The Riccar R10S is your answer. No bagless for sure. See a local dealer, if they do not deal Riccar hit me back.
Riccar R10S cannot be beat on carpet or bare floor. See a local dealer
1. Bagged. Bagless is the worst. ( many reasons) 2. Shop local, go to a dealer. Get educated. See what real durable, reliable machines are all about. Leave price out of the equation. Tell them you are there to be educated. 3. If you compare what you learn to what is out there, you will go back especially if your local dealer Carrie’s the Riccar R10S. This vac will clean your house like it has never been. IMO the R10S is the best vac on the market.
You are correct about the lack of quality and reliability in Dyson today. The Riccar 10S or the R25 series will exceed your expectations at a great price. Se local dealer.
In the world of vacuum cleaners, buy a Riccar and the money stays in the US.
Taiwan, but the R10 series is partially made and fully assembled in MO. Riccar is constantly trying to move more manufacturing and assembly to US. At least the $ stays in US.
See a local dealer. If they are too far, check Riccar on the web then hit me back. Riccar is best by far. BAGGED ONLY.
No cordless, no bag less. Riccar makes the best. All with warranty over a year. Great quality. Last forever plus decades.
Riccar? That’s in my top 3.
Real vacuum dealerships will not sell Dyson any longer. Many other traditional brands either because those companies have decided to produce in Asia and change designs super fast. It is the OPPOSITE of sustainability, it is planned obsolescence at an incredible level. Vacs should not be bought online and a big box stores, these machines do not clean carpet/air, are designed to fail, can’t be serviced and are literal fire hazards. Man the stories I can tell you about “brand new” machines. Most were manufactured years before they reached the consumer. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Dealerships sell quality machines, built to last, serviceable, at great competitive prices, with warranties that do not cost extra. You can’t find service like that anywhere! Find a dealer and buy Riccar or Sebo.
Never consider Shark. Bagged is best. Riccar is top of the line if you’re willing to spend. See a local dealer.
I speak from experience. I experience many vacs daily. Bagless all leak. The brush rolls are weak at best. Shark puts out models with no or very little support. The bagless vacs are designed to be replaced in 5 years. Bagged especially Riccar and Sebo are designed to last 20 years and create a MUCH cleaner space than any bagless. Shark and all bagless can afford advertising and reviews because it costs nothing to make the trash they sell. See a local dealer, learn what it takes to be a real vacuum.
Vacman1958 1.0Riccar r10s or r10e super power and leaves lines
I sell the riccar, we use them at home, they work great on carpet and hard surface, we have 2 huskies
mindless6182 0.3They're ok. One of the best? Not really anymore. Parts are being discontinued or unavailable. Check out the Riccar R10 series. Couple of different models depending on what you're looking for. Warranty starts at one year for the entry model and goes up from there. Along with cost. Still though, better machine than the Oreck.
ThinPin2972 0.3They are ok, but, the handle will break in a couple of years. R10 series riccar for a similar style but much greater durability.
Armyjeep4x4 0.3Sounds like most of your surfaces are hardwood vs carpet. If the carpet is low pile, you might be able to get a suction-only machine with a turbo floor tool. I recommend limiting your search to bagged models, none of the bagless models will provide the HEPA filtration you need. Are you in or near a city that has a vacuum dealer? If yes, they will assess your needs and work with you (discounts, demonstrations, etc.), its possible to get an entry level upright or canister in your budget and HEPA needs (Riccar Superlite, Miele C1). Most dealers have used models they refurbished at deep discounts from new/MSRP and have HEPA technology. Riccar, Filter Queen, Rainbow, Kirby, Sebo, Miele U1 and many others will meet your budget as a refurbished option.
badness83 0.3Big fan of the riccar supralite. I’ll take that and an old school elctrolux any day.
Ok-Public-7967 0.3Just demo’d the Riccar Superlight. It did not impress me for the price. I have very light heart pine floors, low pile rugs and a couple of shag rugs. Going to Demo another Riccar with an auto sensor that adjusts for the flooring. It also has a really accessible hose with attachments fire furniture. I have 3 dogs a teenage lacrosse/track kids with dirty cleats, and a cat, so I vacuum twice a day. I like. Uprights with bags because they keep away dust and allergens. I will return with a review.
