What makes the Lindhaus best in your opinion? |

Like in that first video I just shared here, it's not only an upright. It's also a canister, a carpet cleaner, a blower, and a hard floor cleaner. Sounds similar to what a Kirby would do. But unlike a Kirby, the Lindhaus is easier to use, it's cheaper, it would have better filtration, I can do a faster job cleaning with it, and it's a clean-air/bypass motor design so I wouldn't damage the Lindhaus by picking up nuts or screws like in that first video.
Also unlike the other brands you've listed. Both the Titans and Kirbys uses a rubber belt that stretches out. Both the Riccar tandem air uprights and Kirbys uses fans that can break if you sucked up stuff that you shouldn't like nuts or screws. Both the Aerus and Kirbys (And at least one Riccar upright) are VERY expensive. Both the Mieles and Kirbys are heavy beasts. Both the Aerus and Mieles don't have manual height adjusters. I mean I could go on and on here. Now one thing to note about Miele is that they have since discontinued their upright line. But out of all the upright vacuums that I've used, repaired, and collected in the vacuum field, the Lindhaus Healthcare Pro is what I like the most. Sebo also makes great vacuums too. The Felix is also an excellent option as what that other user has suggested. But personally, I like Lindhaus just slightly better than Sebo. Anyways, those are my two cents here. Wish you the best of luck on your choice! |

I’m off to try the Lindhaus tomorrow! Hopefully the dealer has some in stock. He doesn’t list them on his regular website, but Lindhaus does list him as a dealer. |

I would suggest looking at the SEBO Felix. |

I'll join N0oxy and Undecided and recommend the Sebo Felix. It's a great upright choice for hard floor use. |

I'm sure Sebos are good. I've never used one. Does the Felix store the attachments on board? I had a Miele and I enjoyed using it. It had a full set of separate attachments. Not the combination tool junk.
I haven't watched all the video but this channel does a fairly good job of comparing uprights. At least in my opinion. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK |

That's a shame to hear that nobody in your area has any Lindhaus vacuums for you to try out. You can always buy a Lindhaus at amazon.com but it is a risk when you buy something online that you've never tried before.
I really don't think the other choices of brands are bad. I like Riccar, their tandem air uprights are very powerful cleaners and so are their R25 models. Sebos are one of my all time favorite brands. I personally love their X4 models. The G4 is one of the newest models that they recently came out and it doesn't have an automatic height adjuster which is a thing I like better than the X4. But it doesn't have a squeegee underneath so it would scatter dirt on barefloors which is a thing I like better about the X4 since it does have a squeegee. And the Felix/Dart are just fantastic uprights. But sorry to hear that they're not quite a proper fit for you. Personally, I would take the Perfect DM101 or the Clean Obsessed CO101 over any Aerus Lux uprights. Aerus are just WAY too overpriced for what they are in my opinion but I still think they're good vacuums none of the less. Another upright you could also consider looking into is the Proteam Proforce 1500XP. Similar to both the Aerus and the Perfect/Clean Obsessed uprights. Personaly, I prefer the Proteam over the other two. The power switch is on top of the handle. It uses a powerful Domel suction motor. It's got indicator lights for both the brushroll and the bag. It's cheaper (Retail price of course). And it's got a longer commercial warranty. www.amazon.com/ProTeam-Pr... |

Just wanted to throw my 2c in. I've done some testing on the Felix as well as the X4 and the Felix has greater airflow than the X4 at the cleaner head I saw 61.12 CFM from the X4 and 74.49 CFM from the Felix. While it may seem lightweight I think the Dart/Felix may be the best performing upright from Sebo. The one thing about the felix that I find annoying is the lack of an onboard wand and it only has space for 2 tools on it.

I like the red Hoover T-Series Tempo - I think the model number is UH30600 or something like that...it's good value for the money and has an easy to change bag system.
Consumer Reports designated it as a Best Buy. Here's a link: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |
