I had the Philips one but after about a year it’s suction changed to the point where it’s hard for it to pick up cat litter now…

It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter… and preferably be under 500 euros.

Of course I think a corded one is better for my purposes, and I have mostly hard floors with a few small rugs.

The problem is that every year the quality decreases, so it becomes difficult to know which vacuums will still be good. For example, someone may have purchased the same vacuum 5 years ago and think it’s great but the one sold today might not compare

    Just got a Miele C3 myself, it’s such a great purchase! Really does the job well and I’ve got two cats making a mess each week!

        Haha yeah there are a lot. However what I found out is that the versions also vary whether you order from within Europe vs. US.

        I am also europe and went with the Complete C3. Here is a link to the one I got however the link is in Norwegian: https://www.obs.no/elektronikk/stovsugere/stovsuger/2692091.

        There isn’t a massive difference between the C3 models. From my understanding its all the same base but varies what extension come with. But it’s always possible to add these later if you need. If I were you I’d go for the version that’s one sale/best priced one.

        Also: One vaccum bag is in the canister once you get it, plus you can get a free 5pack if you register via the code you also get in the package.

        Let me know if I can help further 👍

            Yeah can see that the warrenty is a worry. If it helps and you can check this yourself, but Miele has published some videos illustrating some videos of how the test the durability of their vacuums too.

            Additionally Miele vacuums are highly recommended on the r/vaccumcleaners subreddit too, that’s where I got a lot of my inspiration to get one from. All in all I think these have great build quality and worst case they have a good amount of spare parts should you need that down the line.

                Nope nothing similar to this. But i bought a bagless cheaper vacuum last year and it didn’t even last a year so swore not to buy that again. I’m sure there are better bagless ones but they’re more prone to dust getting into places it’s not supposed to be. I personally don’t have any issues with the manuvering.

            I’ve got 2 cats and they’re young and make one he’ll of a mess. The couch especially after a week looks like it’s been through WW2. But this vaccum literally makes it look factory new again after I’ve vacuumed it.

            Ove only had mine for the months so far and I vacuum once or twice a week. Still on the first bag and it’s not even half full yet. I’m vacuuming roughly 60-70square meters of house. If I had to guess I will use one bag per 4-5months. Which is quite good imo. A new 5pacl of bag is roughly 30euros, but you can find cheaper too.

                Yeah not so easy to control them when they have the zoomies but generally tell them off if they’re scratching the couch.

                I use the furniture attachment for my couch, works wonders!
