Final Buying Tips
-
Measure Your Cleaning Area — Larger homes may benefit from SEBO’s long cord and bag capacity, while smaller or multi-level homes may prefer Miele’s cordless sticks.
-
Consider Allergies & Pets — Both brands excel here, but SEBO’s bagged systems are better for zero-dust disposal.
-
Think About Storage — Cordless sticks take up less space, while canisters need more room but hold more dirt.
-
Set a Budget for the Long Term — Premium vacuums cost more upfront but can last 10–20 years.
