Reply to My 2001 Honda Rancher ATV that I've had since new. It's not big or fancy, but it just works. I've never needed to do anything but basic maintenance on it, and it starts and runs better than all of my friends ATVs. by lotr5693
Those are badass, I had the exact same one. Push button or foot shift?

This was the peak of their reliability. How do you like those mudlite tires?

Wow it is definitely priced "premium". Didn't have the same issues as you though. TIL about the Sebo brand.
If a canister vacuum is not going to fit in you apartment, I think you'll have to find an intermediary solution, not something BIFL.. unless you plan to live in a small studio for the long term. I stuck my vacuum in my clothing closet while I lived in that studio.
Perhaps just get something cheap and fits the form-factor you are looking for? I doubt youll get the same cleaning power as a canister vacuum in any other form factor. When you have more space then you can reuse your Sebo or look into Miele if the Sebo's features/design are annoying you.

Well I have a SEBO E3 Premium, which I would say is on the same level as the Miele. The biggest issue my wife and I have is simply that it’s a pain to deal with storing a canister vacuum like it or Miele canisters. The small studio just doesn’t have any more storage space, so something smaller has a great appeal to us.

80% of British agriculture is run on these things. In the hilly regions, its 100%.

I started out living on my own like you - my studio's floor was polished concrete and we had some rugs. Invested in a Miele vacuum ... cleans well (better than any dyson on the market) but the mobility is a little bit annoying.
I believe I got one of the cheaper models (C1 at 300+) but if I had do to do this again I would have purchased of the more feature rich models (1000+). I think I'll have this vacuum far into the future. The build quality is impeccable across the board.
If you see professional maids/cleaners that clean peoples' apartments, they all have vacuums that have the same design as the Miele because they are the best at cleaning.
Hope this helps. Do some research and you'll find that Miele is the best.

Thanks for the suggestion, but after our last Dyson, we aren’t looking at getting another.

I bought the set from Costco. I don’t know what people are thinking is airtight, but those aren’t. Even with the lids “popped” or “sealed” they are easily lifted open. They feel flimsy compared to the buckets I have now. I hated them and gave them away after six months.

Thank you. Dishwasher safe is not a concern for us. We just want to store dried goods. Rinsing then out should be good enough. Oh I thought they seal airtight based in the reviews. Do you have a link to the ones you're talking about?

Try Consolidated Plastic for food safe buckets (various sizes) with gamma lids. They don’t sell the Mylar bags afaik but those are easily found online. If you’re considering the OXO Pop containers, reconsider-they are trash. Not dishwasher safe (the ones I bought about five years ago, this may have changed) and definitely not air tight.

Honda small engines, ATVs, and motor bikes are amazing.

Try pet food containers. Possibly be cheaper than Oxo containers?

I’ve got a Polaris sportsman 500 that is supposed to be reliable, but I cannot keep that sucker running for the life of me
