I'm looking for a vacuum cleaner with high suction power, reliable and most importantly minimal or zero replacement parts such as long-life filter or HEPA filter whereby they need to be replaced once clogged or unusable which results in weak suction power. I came to know that this Shimono vacuum cleaner is maintenance free since all the parts can be washed with water, hence there is no replacement parts required. Would like to seek experiences from people if this is true.

My current Karcher VC5 vacuum now has weak suction power due to clogged HEPA filter and long-life filter, and these parts are no longer being sold, hence I am looking for a new vacuum cleaner which not only has strong suction power but filters that can be washed with water hence no replacement is required. I would appreciate experiences from any current Shimono vacuum cleaner owners on the performance of the unit. Currently the 777 and 888 models are sold at below RM200 while the SVC1017 Eco and SVC1015 Pro which have higher suction power are all sold out and mostly not available on both Shopee and Lazada.

IF there are any other recommendations other than Shimono please let me know. Price range below RM1k, lower the better. Thanks.

Forgot to mention, vacuum will be mostly used to suck out dust from narrow crevices, and on carpet. That's all.

The vacuum needs to come with this extension part to clean crevices of small or narrow spots or places.

im to having suction slow on my 10 year Electrolux , hepa filter become to thick.

my plan to tear the hepa filter , then diy new filter. can use super glue.

MY Karcher vacuum is about 5 years old, bought it at RM900+. I just washed the long-life filter last week and let it dry completely under the sun, but it just helped a little, not much. The suction power is still low. The HEPA filter on the Karcher can't be washed I think, as it's attached to some plastic parts. I think it's about time already I get it replaced as due to the low suction power, it's not really effective at cleaning anymore. The parts also are not sold anymore when I asked the official Karcher store on Shopee, and I didn't pursue with the Karcher HQ at Petaling Jaya since I think it's better if I just get a new one as the price is not too costly.

I'm trying to find a small vacuum which comes with a flexible extension hose if available. Nowadays all vacuums come with a long stick but not a flexible hose for easy positioning to clean tight spots.
