What's the best vacuum cleaner in your opinion? (feddit.de)

I'm looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn't need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me

Edit: thankyou all for the recommendations, I appreciate it!
I realized, although vacuums with bags are in the daily financing more expensive I guess, they are more reasonable to consider in my case

Agreed about Miele. Our White Star has given us 24 years of reliable service. The only problem was the cord retractor stopped working (at about year 15). Now we just wind up the cord, no problem. Definitely would buy again. PS: We've had pretty good luck with off-brand bags and HEPA filters.

Where do you say can I get those off-brand bags? I'm living in germany

And what are HEPA filters? Special filters for the vacuum?

I've found off-brand bags on ebay, I believe Amazon has them also (but I seriously avoid buying anything there).

HEPA filters remove very fine particles from the outgoing air. Our White Star model has such a filter, which is easy to replace and seems to make a significant difference.

Our previous vacuum would pick up most of the dirt but also threw a lot of dust into the air. This Miele White Star doesn't do that.

PS: I'm in the US, so your results might vary. Tschüs!
