I have a SIEMENS VSQ5X1238 since ~10 years, no problems so far.
And a small one: PHILIPS FC 6148/01 MINI VAC, guess also ~10 years old, no problems.

Electrolux?
~15 years of satisfaction with Electrolux ZUSG3000 Ultra Silencer Green HEPA. Only the velvet bumpers have worn off.
Miele 4eva
Mbudget vacums work so well and cost nothing. Though they are hideously ugly.
I just got a cableless Bosch Gen 8 and am in LOVE!
Miele vacuums are awesome.
We have a Miele that is still working quite well after more than 10 years.
Many people in Germany also swear by Vorwerk, but I don’t like them due to their MLM practices.
Pneumatic International i.e. the people who make Henry Hoover. You know the ones that are built like tanks that every cleaning service used because they’re so reliable and last forever.
I believe they’ve also made a handheld one now.
Avoid Dyson, because they’re overpriced, the build quality is terrible now, and Dyson is a Brexitier and Trump supporter.
The Henry range looks goofy but they’re truly BIFL - built to last and easily serviceable, with excellent spare parts availability.
I’m a fan of the Miele canisters. I’ve not come across a Miele appliance that’s not fantastic. I’m not sure I trust the battery vacuums, but then, that opinion isn’t limited to just Miele. Bags are better than bag less, unless you’ve pets and piles of fur.
Kärcher is a German manufacturer that makes different kind of cleaning products.
their power washers used to be good, and they are so ubiquitous that the name turned into a verb for powerwashing here in Germany. But the last few years a lot of models have more an more plastic parts (that used to be brass) so they are not great anymore and break down much faster. We switched to a Nilfisk now.
They also make vacuums, but the industrial kind.
Whatever you get, go bagged over bagless for longevity. The bag is an effective first filter as well as crap storage.
Our Miele is still going strong after years of use. It has only ever needed a power switch replaced, which was a 5 minute job.
Bosch is usually good quality
- the plural of vacuum is vacua
- there is no plural of vacuum
Grunding
Grundig is not a Company anymore. It is only a name that got bought up in 2003. don’t expect anything from them.
Who bought them?
