“I walked out with the perfect vacuum for my needs and also my budget. I really like the convenience of having a physical store to try out the vacuums- way better than guessing and dealing with shipping from an online store”

“Best vacuum decision ever. That was in 2012 and it still runs like new. And that’s really saying something given that we have 6 dogs and we vacuum frequently.”

Best Vacuum Cleaners – Your Questions
SEBO, Miele and Riccar: quality vacuums built to last, and we service all three in our stores.
Both are made in Germany and last for years. Try them side by side, then pick.
Strong brush roll, sealed bag: the SEBO X7 Pet, Miele Cat & Dog or Riccar R27 Pet.
SEBO: up to 10 years when you buy here and register with our dealer code.
A canister with a parquet brush, like the SEBO E3. Area rugs too? An upright that automatically adjusts its brush height to different surfaces, like the SEBO AUTOMATIC X.
Our #1 seller is a canister: the SEBO E3, with a 37-ft reach. Stairs? A canister sits on the step.
Dust bags and HEPA filters seal fine dust in, a plus for allergies. Most SEBO, Miele and Riccar models use bags. Bagless models have no bags to buy; we carry both.
Canisters, usually. The SEBO Airbelt E3 and Miele canisters are quiet favorites.
Change the bag at ¾ full, check filters every 2–3 months and clear clogs in the hose. Our $29.95 tune-up does all that and more.
Any of our 5 vacuum stores: Portland, Montavilla, Beaverton, Vancouver WA and Bend. Walk in, no appointment.
A helper, not a replacement: fine for touch-ups on bare floors. You still need a real vacuum for carpet and stairs. We don’t sell robots.
For quick cleanups, yes; the Miele Duoflex is a stick and handheld in one. Mostly carpet? The SEBO Felix plugs in, no battery to fade.
Yes. Carry in the head, hose or power unit. We refer installs out. Central vacuum repair
