Miele or Sebo, none are their equals. |

For every one person who reads this post and thinks, I want to save a buck and purchase that knockoff, there will be more that will want the real German made Sebo more than before. |

The D4 sounds like a good option i haven't had the chance to try one though.
The riccar/simplicity line should probably be considered as well they are some pretty nice vacuums. I'd stop into a local dealer for either of these brands and take a look at them you will want to purchase a different floor brush though the ones that come onboard are so little. Miele is also a good option but they have a high cost of maintenance and parts. (example Hepa filter for my miele Silver Moon $50 hepa filter for my Riccar 1700 $32) Perhaps even a used tristar or patriot would be an appropriate option for you. |

The Riccar Brilliance has steel parts for strength. The brush roller has replaceable brush strips, the machine features metal handle release pedal, metal cord hook, wire reinforced hose, and TWO suction motors for outstanding airflow and cleaning ability. Plus, it has a five year warranty and two free Hepa filter replacements included.

400 high end vacuums you can't go wrong with Riccar/Simplicity vacuums also Aerus Guardian uprights . I owned and sold my Miele upright S7 Salsa way too heavy n bulky and I owned and sold my Sebo X4 and an essential G the X4 drove me nuts constantly adjusting the height it never seemed to deep clean and my essential G had manual height adjustment and I was unimpressed with the cleaning of either Sebo . I have owned my Riccar Radiance for 5 years and it deep cleans and filters very well . Plus made in the USA you can't go wrong . My entire family use Aerus exclusively and the machines hold up and clean very well and have the easiest bag change out of any vacuum period . I must have purchased over 100 for every member of my family and I never get calls to repair their vacuums .

i have all hardwood with some large area rugs so I thought a canister would be better plus with the pet fur I need good attachments. But the Brilliance upright with the two motor system sounds interesting. |

Your home is clearly best suited for a canister. The Brilliance is designed for the best carpet cleaning performance possible, not to clean hard floors. Since you want to clean hard floors without the brush roll spinning, you would be relying entirely on the bypass motor, which small and weak. If you really want suction like an Electrolux, buy an Electrolux. Since you have three stories to clean, carrying up and down the Brilliance is going to get tiring quickly, and a canister will be much easier to manage.
Canisters are designed for homes like yours in mind. Excellent floor tools are available on most all high-end machines, and modern power nozzles, the powered brush you would clean your area rugs with, are just as good as a decent upright. Aerus Electrolux machines are great (I use one daily), but I also hear great things about Riccar and Miele. Aerus has an excellent tool for pet hair called the Sidekick which is electrically powered, as opposed to a turbine-powered which consistently fail whenever I use one when cleaning up Siberian Husky hair.
Check out the new Aerus Guardian Platinum, which I hear nothing but great things about. If you prefer an upright, an Oreck XL21 might be the thing for you, since those machines are excellent for pet hair and have a low-speed switch for cleaning hard floors. I'd really stick with a canister though. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bagintheback's LINK |

With dust being your issue and the combination flooring you cannot go wrong with a Miele S8 canister. I promise you you will never regret the purchase, they are amazing. |

I played with Miele S8 at a vacuum shop and was just amazed, they just scream out quality and the filtration is second to none. |

Or a Compact/TriStar vacuum; they have lots of suction power; whether it be the current A101 (EXL, MG & CS) or the older models (CXL, DXL & EX-20) This post was last edited 07/31/2013 at 13:38 |

A Dyson DC33 should last and work well, they also have a five rear warranty, can be used on all floor types, and are also quite durable. |
