Are good/ expensive vacuums worth the money?
Alchemisst:
Are they really that much better than any normal vacuum?
Metalcat:
Depends on your needs.
Do you have hardwood floors and no shedding pets? Probably not. Do you have carpet everywhere and 12 golden retrievers? Yes, yes they are.

I've gone deep down the rabbit hole of vacuums lately.
I went from wanting a nice German made to being OK with a cheaper well reviewed(sort of) Chinese made.
After much research I have come back around to buying the more quality and pretty expensive model($700). They have a 10 year warranty and its something I will use daily, may as well like the thing.
One of the major differences between a good and bad vacuum is filtration. The best have a good HEPA filter so you are keeping nearly 100% of what you suck up in the bag. Not the case with cheaper vacs.
Cadman:
Nothing like a nice vintage Kirby. Yes, they're heavy, but they hold their value, are easily repaired/rebuilt, have excellent suction, and are good for a half-century or more of regular use. Definitely a 'buy it for life' purchase.

We have vacuum-itis. I can think of two uprights, two high end canisters, a shop vac, two rechargeable sticks and a couple hand helds. And two broken central vac systems!
I recently got rid of a couple. I love the shop vac. Spouse likes the cordless sweeps. The Shark Navigator is good overall, for stairs and pet fur. Miele canister strong and quiet.
