If your main concern is the best carpet cleaner a metal Royal is going to be your best bet. The only residential model being made now is the Pro Series but there are also some commercial models that have the turn knob height adjuster instead of the 5 position foot pedal and there is an 18" model if you need a wide track model. I'll add a link to a quick review of an older model that covers everything about Royal.

Two important questions: What is your budget? And - do you need to carry the vacuum up and down a flight of stairs?
If money and weight are not factors in your decision, the obvious choice for excellent deep carpet cleaning is the Kirby Avalir. If you want an excellent carpet vacuum at half the price of a Kirby, then the Miele Cat & Dog Dynamic upright or the Maytag 1200 will fulfill your requirements very well, though the Miele offers better airflow through the hose for tool use. |

In summary, a Miele C3 Marin canister with SEB 236 power head (low profile + headlight and on/off switch for power roll) and Parquet Twister hard floor head, + truly sealed HEPA system is your best best. |

All of these posts are great answers. What I would suggest is if you have some local vacuum stores in your area, I would highly suggest to try out the vacuums that they offer which mostly have the vacuums that other members put on here but try them out to see which one best suits for you and your home.

This post makes me feel the pain Hoover, Eureka, Bissell, and Dirt Devil are going through. Sanitaire and Royal happen to be the lucky ones. |

If you are going for a carpet only machine that doesn't need attachments, it is hard to avoid a Royal. Super suction and an awesome brush that really rejuvinates carpets. I picked up a brand new one for $200 shipped of ebay. |

@sptyks well if you believe that I've got a Sandbox in Florida I can sell you.
If you're going to go direct air at least go cheap and simple like a Riccar supralite. Most modern bypass systems far exceed airflow and performance of a Kirby. As much as I love my Kirby's I would never recommend one to somebody who wasn't buying a used one on a budget. |

You'd be better off saving some of your $$ and buy a good previously owned machine. The newer machines today aren't built as well and if you are going to spend the kind of money that Sebo and Miele want to charge, it better last 25 years. |

"Most modern bypass systems far exceed airflow and performance of a Kirby."
Alex, nothing can be further from the truth! It is a known fact that Direct Air vacuums produce much more Airflow at the floor nozzle than Bypass machines. I have a Direct Air 10 amp Royal Everlast 8300 That will out perform ANY Bypass vacuum there is on any type of carpet. It easily out performs all of my Kirby's.
I challenge you to show me any Bypass vacuum that meets or exceeds the 139 CFM that my Royal produces at the floor nozzle.
When it comes to Airflow and Agitation The 10 amp Royals can't be beat for deep cleaning carpet!

@sptyks that's quite an outdated. If it was 1995 I would agree with you.
Wish you were in Colorado I would lend you a few vacuums to try and you'd understand. Water lift is almost as important as air flow just as horsepower and torque are important to a engine. True most direct air machines will out clean Bagless vacuums but we're not talking about those. I don't think anybody will disagree that a rainbow TriStar or Electrolux will out cleaning Kirby. And so will most modern bypass commercial machines. Heck even a budget-minded Hoover hushtone whill clean it. Then if we get into Central Vac switch are all bypass machines for the most part. |
