Shop vacuum products at SAVE Stores:
What vacuum brands do you carry?
We carry premium vacuum brands such as Miele, Sebo, Riccar, Simplicity, Dyson, Cleanmax, and others. We also stock Easy-Flo central vacuum units for whole home cleaning. This lets you compare several high quality brands in one Portland showroom.
Do you offer central vacuum systems?
Yes. SAVE Stores sells Easy-Flo central vacuum units and related parts. Central vacuums keep noise and dust out of your living space and are a great choice for many homes in Portland, Vancouver, and nearby areas.
Can you help me choose the right vacuum for my home?
Yes. We ask about your floors, pets, allergies, and cleaning style. Then we help you compare upright, canister, and central vacuums, and show you models that fit your budget. You can learn the pros and cons of bagged vs bagless, HEPA filtration, and tools for stairs and furniture.
Do you repair vacuum cleaners?
Yes. Our technicians repair many popular vacuum brands including Sebo, Miele, Riccar, Simplicity, Dyson, and others. We can help with loss of suction, broken belts, clogs, bad switches, and other common problems. Bring your vacuum in or call us to discuss your model.

For homes with dogs and cats we usually recommend a vacuum with strong suction, a sealed system, and a powered brush for carpets and furniture. Many Miele, Sebo, Riccar, and Simplicity models are built with pet owners in mind. We can show you which models fit your floors and budget.
Can you help with allergies and indoor air quality?
Yes. We can show you vacuums with HEPA filters and sealed systems that trap fine dust, dander, and pollen. We often recommend bagged vacuums for allergy and asthma because they are cleaner to empty and hold dust inside the bag instead of a loose bin.

Many vacuum purchases qualify for free shipping when the order total is over one hundred dollars. Since we are based in Portland, Oregon, your vacuum purchase is also tax free. This is helpful for customers from Vancouver and other nearby Washington cities.

You can usually bring your vacuum in during normal store hours without an appointment. If you have a special or commercial model, call ahead so we can confirm parts and service options. We will check your machine in and give you an estimate on repair time.
