Are expensive vacuums worth it?
For most homes, yes, if you keep it. A $1,000 vacuum kept for 10 years costs about $100 a year, less than a $200 vacuum you replace every 2 years. Premium vacuums also hold up better and are easier to repair.
- Stronger, longer-lasting motors: commercial-grade motors built for years of use.
- Sealed filtration: HEPA or S-class filters that keep dust and allergens inside the vacuum.
- Longer warranties: up to 10 years on SEBO, 7 to 8 years on Riccar and Kirby models, and lifetime belt coverage on SEBO uprights.
- Repairable: belts, brushrolls, hoses and cords are sold separately, so a worn part doesn't mean a new vacuum.
