We used to have the same problem. Years ago, a relative recommended a Miele canister-style. They were pretty pricey, but took a chance. It could practically pull the floorboards up (fortunately, the power level is adjustable). It lasted forever.

Replaced it with the same brand. Apparently, some models are now made overseas and use cheaper components, but the higher-end models are still made in Germany. Totally worth it.

How are they dying? The only issues I tend to run into are the belt wearing or people sucking up shit that gets them clogged. Every time one of our vacuums stops working, my wife is about to order a new one and I disassemble the broken one and find it's full of tape and bread ties and fabric scraps and, naturally, dog hair. I have to do this all the freaking time because neither my wife nor kids gives any fucks what they suck up.

I haven't had one actually break in years and we buy cheaper vacuums, so I would look into a full disassembly and cleaning out the guts and cutting hair off the roller before necessarily seeking a replacement. If you've already done that, then fair enough, but I've brought back dead vacuums at least a dozen times.

Dyson is overpriced trash.

If you’re planning to use it every day, I suggest you consider investing a bit more and get a good one! Spend your money where you spend your time

I got a Miele a few years ago and love it it's a little pricy, but they are well made and have good warranties. A vacuum repair person recommended the brand to me saying that when they do finally break, they are much easier repair.

I remember seeing a post on Reddit from some vacuum repair guy and the overall takeaway I'm pretty sure was get a miele

I don't have strong opinions on vacuums in general, we don't have much carpet in our house, I have a roborock s7 on our first floor to clean and mop, but that's all tile and hardwood and an s6 that runs in our basement that is the thinnest cheapest carpet known to man. For our second floor and stairs, we have a shark lift away. It seems to work well enough, I like it being cordless, and the lift away setup is nice for the stairs. Had it for a couple years now and we've been happy so far. If you have a bigger house or more carpet than we do though, the batter life way disappoint you.

We went to a little shop that repairs vacuums and such and found an old Electrolux cannister vacuum from the 70s or 80s for relatively cheap. Apparently they are quite popular with people who clean houses professionally as they last a long time and are repairable. It's a bit of a pain to drag around the cannister but really not too bad over all and works very well.

They all suck.

Vacuum cleaners suck.

Try a Henry. I'm in the US, where getting one for cheap seems quite difficult. Within Europe, though? You'll probably have better luck. Henry's known for reliability and longevity, while also being easy on budget. Some of the most expensive ones are just £200. They're even on sale right now.

They're also just cute.

Since you are in Germany, buy a sebo. Great power and supposedly inexpensive since they are made in Germany. Some of them come with 10 year warranties and replacement parts are readily available.

Also if you want repairability, do not buy a Shark. They have 900 models and getting replacement parts can be extremely hard because they don't make the same model for very long. Dyson is slightly better in that regard but not much.

Get on eBay and pick up a used Miele canister vac. The C1 is underpowered but C2 and 3 are good

You can get brand new but scratched items for €70 or so.

They haven't gone downhill, they're still excellent quality

Henry also makes incredibly reliable vacs, but they're a horrible design and fall over constantly, as well as catching on every corner

We hada Philips and a Dyson, which were in our opinion trash. We now have a Nilfisk for the last five/six years, holds really well.

These very well could be out of your price range, but I really encourage you to consider a robot vacuum. https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html

I got my first one back in 2017 and they're wonderful.

They come in two power settings: high, and low. And both of them will rip your dick off.

Vorwerk Kobolds are great. Find a used one. I have a 20 year old one. I took it apart an was pleasantly surprised at the quality and design. Vorwerk makes the Thermomix, so you know they are quality stuff. I'm also a Miele fan. In my old house my entire kitchen was Miele. Never a problem, not one in years. Pricy, yes. Worth it definitely.

I don't have a specific vacuum recommendation, but here is a trustworthy ratings site that covers them.

Also, look at Amazon bestsellers rankings. There are different types of vacuums (upright, canister, stick, etc.).

I have a Dyson v8 and a Dyson v11 and have no complaints except for long term battery life.

I also have a shark little portable shop vac, the messmaster. It's also very handy.

I previously had the Roborock S4, and upgraded to a Roborock S8 with the auto-emptying dock last year. I have a husky mix, and so my home gets quite hairy. Having a robot vacuum that can empty itself without me having to really do much is a lifesaver. Roborock also offers spare parts, and you can take these machines apart to fix them, if the need arises; none of my machines have ever broken down though.

You don't need to connect the robot to the app, but I don't think you get the scheduling functionality without it. You can of course always just press the button to start it manually, and that's what I've been doing most of the time since I want it running when I'm out and that time window tends to shift a bit.

Yesterday I also learned that there's OSS you can flash onto the machine to decouple it from Xiaomi's stuff, which I think is great.

Honestly, they all suck.. I'll see myself out

Sebo Felix is always a good option.

Miele is always a safe bet. We bought a Bosch modular vacuum with a wall mounted charging station. It's battery powered and you can swap the battery with your power drill. A little pricey but worth the quality. Especially the rug brush that used to be exclusive to Vorwerk vacuums.

I don’t know whether it’s available in Germany but the Oreck XL is a reliable bagged upright. No fancy tubes or attachments. No adjusting for carpet height or bare floors. Just a simple straightforward light, reliable vacuum.

My folks have had one for years, they have a dog. My sibling got one that had been used daily in a small business for years, works great for their pets. I picked one up at an estate sale, replaced the brush roller and it works like new. We have a long haired cat that leaves tumbleweeds in its wake.

Unfortunately may be out of your budget, but I have a Dyson V10 "animal" (this includes all kind of accessories for dog hairs) and it is super powerful, light, etc. but may be too expensive for you. There's all kind of new version like V15 etc.

Else the Shark one are not that bad and cheaper.
