I’m in canada and eyeing up miele c3 but heard it’s not great for carpets.

What vacuum should I buy for less than $500 cad? Are used vacuums a good idea?

    Anything will work, what’s most important is regular vacuuming, preventing dirt from working it’s way down though the carpet.

    In another life I did some reno work. You could tell who vacuumed regularly, and who didn’t. This was long before vacuums became high-ticket items, they were all generic bag-based ones designed in the 60’s and 70’s.

    Not to say some of the newer ones don’t work a lot better, just that an infrequently used great one works worse than a regularly used average one.
