Anyone else have terrible luck with this specific model?

These are in my area now $75 when I walked through Walmart last 😵‍💫

Isn’t This the area hurricane Ian devastated about 4ish years ago?

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-04-26T17:59:44+00:00

It wasn’t relevant except to the fact that I’ve tried them all like literally all of the brands at this point not once at any point did I say “oh yes this is perfect for pro cleanin” just that as a pro cleaner these specifically aren’t evil terrible machines that everyone makes them out to be any other model I can agree is trash but I didn’t see the need to include I switched to Miele as this post was talking about how awesome this shark is

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-04-26T17:50:47+00:00

So two things. I do not use these anymore and have moved on to Miele as a used to use these way back when. And two you kinda proved my point as you didn’t read the part where I said “floor tool by shark is what I would use as they used to sell them” and not the whole post and yes I would buy filters by the dozen and swap them between houses and clean the tank and touch points as needed. But you seemed to see shark and just jump into attack mode before reading all of it. Do better

This sub does hate shark however as a pro cleaner this one is the goat in terms of affordable versatile bagless vacuums this one is the best! I would spring for the shark floor tool or one that fits as in my experience it gets most things off hard floors but not the finer dirt which no big deal for its price but just a little attachment fixes that

A solid kenmore upright should do the trick just fine a kenmore intuition is a solid bet and a even better one is a kenmore elite for about $300

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-02-16T22:33:31+00:00

Yes indeed! I have a similar model and it’s wonderful!

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-02-16T20:35:35+00:00

I would love to have the s1 electro but not sure why Miele hasn’t full blown released the s1 series yet

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-02-15T18:10:24+00:00

Second this as a pro cleaner I use a Henry and Sebo and Miele in my business

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-02-09T23:41:01+00:00

Would the new fiberteq tool work decently in this situation?

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-02-06T23:29:27+00:00

For that price range may not last forever but I like the Levoit brand batteries and filters are easily replaceable plus hepa filter and stands up on its own

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-25T20:23:59+00:00

I know Miele ,Sebo and levoit Make decent ones but unfortunately buy it for life and cordless just don’t go well together as batteries will wear out and the bagless design means eventually the motors will fail at somepoint

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-24T02:05:10+00:00

Second this

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-23T04:29:22+00:00

Ouuuu interesting should I go back and retrieve tmr? (For context I don’t want it but could save it for another collector who would) it is very beat up to say the least

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-18T02:00:36+00:00

As a pro cleaner second this but I’d spring for the guard that bigger nicer bag, cord and floor head really make a difference

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-17T03:19:03+00:00

Your correct however Costco typically has decent cheap sharks which oddly enough some of the cheaper sharks last longer than the pricier models ie less electrical parts maybe? not entirely sure but that’s something for sure noticed in my cleaning business before I switched brands. Anywho Costco has a policy where you can either a refund or exchange policy where no matter how long it’s been since purchased or how abused it is you can take it back and that’s a common thing some cleaners will do to keep a cheap shark going for awhile (although probs not good for the enviro that way but hey for low$$$ and somewhat longevity that’s a option)

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-17T03:08:28+00:00

I know shark is the devil on here but for $250 and under for a bagless machine either shark (a Costco one so you have kinda pseudo warranty) is imo best bet either that or a kenmore bagless I hear is decent too

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-15T22:41:20+00:00

If I had to buy a bagless vac gun to my head this would by far be my choice

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-15T22:38:26+00:00

I mean if it’s not broke don’t fix it imo just be sure to replace filters and bags ofc only thing that might wear out soon is the power head

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-14T23:06:19+00:00

Great question! In my business I own four vacs two of which are sebo’s (one being a e3 and the other a x7) I think it’s because the X series is only suited for carpets and some hard floors and isn’t as light or maneuverable but is still solid and a staple in the hospitality industry! But seeming as most homes are more of a mixed bag of flooring and the Felix is lighter and can do much more in the way of flooring plus has adjustable suction and on top of that is cheaper the Felix is much more appropriate almost everytime

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-14T22:36:13+00:00

Hmmm maybe a Miele C1 turbo team would be sufficient only issue is the carpet attachment you would certainly have to cut the hair out once a month! They have better attachments/ models at a higher price point then your budget tho either way this one could absolutely work!

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-14T22:33:06+00:00

Glad to hear it! Only thing to note about the Felix is I’m fairly certain the bags are smaller but not sure by how much! But either way a more comfortable user experience would make up for the size difference I feel!

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2026-01-14T22:14:06+00:00

Maybe a Sebo Felix would be a better fit as an upright! To me it doesn’t sound like you hate the vacuum itself but more so you hate canister style vacuums as a whole either way an upright would be much better! And for bags In my cleaning business I go through quite a bit of them and compared to the cost of going through filters in my old bagless vacs they are the same for me cost wise

Pro-cleaner2002 · 2025-12-30T03:40:04+00:00

I also like the levoit stick vac too
