A Kirby if you can find one. We bought a used one off Facebook for $150 with all attachments 10 years ago and it’s amazing. The thing is probably 25 years old and works perfectly. Nothing is plastic on the thing and it’s a tank. It also uses bags, which in my opinion is less mess than those canister vacuums.

Why are we the only ones recommending kirby? This is r/BuyItForLife right?

Kirby's are expensive but they last for fucking ever and are top performers. The older models are a little heavy but the newer one the salesmen brought over was pretty light (comparatively). Also you can take it for a tune up to get it running back in top shape every couple of years.

Yeah I don’t why they’re not in the discussion. Probably has to do with the sales model and the fact that less people know about them. My mother in law has been using the same on for 40 years now. They’re literally generational hand me downs and they require almost no maintenance.
