Shark Vacuum Cleaners

Shark is one of the most popular vacuum brands in the U.S., and it’s easy to see why. The brand built its rep by offering affordable, feature-rich vacuums that often punch above their price class. Shark focuses heavily on cordless sticks and upright vacuums, with a strong lean toward convenience-first innovation—think self-cleaning brush rolls, Lift-Away® tech, DuoClean® rollers, and pet-friendly designs. While it doesn’t quite reach the raw power or engineering finesse of brands like Miele or Dyson, Shark thrives in that sweet spot of performance + value + usability.

Sebo Vacuum Cleaners

Sebo may not be a household name in the U.S., but in Europe—and especially in professional cleaning circles—it’s a top-tier, industry-trusted brand. Built in Germany, Sebo vacuums are known for their unmatched reliability, excellent carpet performance, and industrial-grade construction. The brand focuses primarily on upright and canister vacuums, especially bagged models with massive filtration and deep-cleaning brush rolls. While they lack flashy features and smart tech, Sebo is about one thing: elite performance and machine longevity, trusted by hotels, hospitals, and serious homeowners.
