SEBO Airbelt E3, because SEBO as a vacuum brand is one of the more repair-friendly ones, and one of the reasons why I decided to go with it over Miele. It also has a decent selection of attachments that you can choose from, if you want to add onto the existing ones you get. Kirby upright vacuums are extremely sturdy, but they likely don't have the attachments you want.

I have an Ikea Kivik sectional that is really comfortable. The one nice thing about Ikea is how easily you can replace covers for a fraction of what a new sofa would cost (either in store or on Etsy). I’ve also found new/like new sofa cushions in the as-is section of Ikea for $15 a piece. With a new cover and after replacing a couple of our most used cushions, my Kivik has lasted around 8 years and basically looks/feels new. It’s not a sleeper sofa, but I did sleep well on it last night (sick coughing spouse was keeping me awake).

I always thought kitchen aid wasn’t a very good brand, I thought they made Hamilton beach level cheap stuff. Am I completely wrong?

Just buy a $100 vacuum every year. I had a Dyson, got tired of fixing it. Thought a Miele was the ticket, I've taken it apart countless times, I've never had a vacuum so prone to clogging but so difficult to disassemble. Made it 18 whole months (and two heads) before my wife refused to use it anymore.
Now I just buy a new $100 vacuum every year. She's happy. I'm happy.

Kirby. Solidly built, but the wife says it is "like pushing a small car around".

Apologies for the vague response but the answer given was: "Definitely more than I originally paid for the boots." He paid about $65 in 1969.

Amazing! He certainly has not put that many miles on them, but has taken them to N. America, S. America, and Europe.

Mine lasted until I tried making cookies with it.
I have the stand mixer now, and will never need another.

A little bit of superstition: a knife presented as a gift will sever the friendship between the giver and the recipient. The only way around this is to attach a penny (or a coin of symbolic value) to the knife. The coin must be promptly removed and returned to the giver as a form of symbolic payment.

> Kirby D-50
Agreed, but the newer models are solid, too. I bought a used Gsix in 2004 and, in 18 years, it has only needed belts and bags.
Kirby vacs are heavy & ugly, but are built like tanks and are easily repairable.
The best part about buying a used Kirby is not having to let a Kirby salesperson into your house.

Kirby. Check Craigslist or OfferUp, marketplace, whatever, and your local second hand store. Got mine brand new full price. Don’t be me.

Last Christmas...it's breaking my heart
But the very next year, new tree brings us cheer
This tree cannot make us grieve
It's people that make it special
