What's a good vaccuum for people with pets in Europe? (lemmy.world)

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

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.

I hope they last okay. They are currently on promo for like 250-300 euros here.

Have you ever used a similar design vacuum before, except maybe one without a bag? Did you find this one harder to maneuver?

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

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.
