Our Inventory
Premium Brands, Real Performance
We stock a focused selection of high-performance vacuum brands that we actually stand behind. That means Riccar, Sebo, Miele, Dyson, Shark, and Hoover, plus a rotating selection of quality used units that have been checked over by our technicians before hitting the floor. These aren't the machines you'll find stacked on a pallet at a big-box store. They're built with solid construction, better filtration, and the kind of durability that holds up over years of real use. If you've been searching for used vacuum cleaners near me and want something you can trust, this is where to start.
Why It Matters
The Difference Between a Good Vacuum and a Great One
There's a real gap between a $150 department store vacuum and a well-built German or American machine. It's not just the price. It's the feel of solid plastics that don't flex in your hand. It's a motor that doesn't wind down after a few passes over a carpet full of pet hair. It's filtration that actually traps allergens instead of pushing them back into the air. Our inventory is built around that difference. We carry American and German vacuum brands specifically because they deliver on those qualities, and because we've seen firsthand what happens to the cheaper alternatives after a year of regular use. If you have pets, kids, or allergy concerns, the machine you choose makes a genuine difference in your home's air quality and your peace of mind.

Common Questions
What People Ask Before They Buy
What vacuum brands do you carry at your Erlanger shop?
We stock a focused selection of brands we trust, including Riccar, Sebo, Miele, Dyson, Shark, and Hoover. We also carry Simplicity, which many longtime customers still know by name, though that line has largely transitioned into the Riccar family. Our inventory leans toward American and German-engineered machines because of their build quality, filtration performance, and long-term durability. If you're looking for a specific brand, give us a call or stop by and we'll let you know what's currently on the floor.Are the used vacuum cleaners you sell in good working condition?
Yes. Every used unit we put on the floor has been looked over by our technicians before it goes up for sale. We've been repairing and servicing vacuums since 1971, so we know what to check and what to pass on. You're not buying a machine we haven't evaluated. If something isn't right with it, it doesn't make it onto our sales floor. That's the advantage of buying used from a shop that does its own repairs rather than from an online listing where you're taking someone else's word for it.Do you price-match online retailers for new vacuum cleaners?
We match the lowest permitted advertised prices on the brands we carry. Manufacturers set minimum advertised price guidelines, and we stay at or at the floor of those prices. So you're not paying a premium just because you're buying from a local shop. What you do get on top of that is a team that knows the product, can answer your questions in person, and will service your machine right here if it ever needs attention. That's something an online order can't include.Which vacuum works best for a home with pets and heavy shedding?
Pet hair, especially from heavy shedders, is one of the most common reasons customers come to us. Budget machines tend to wrap hair around the brush roll and lose suction fast. We recommend models with strong motor performance, specialized brush roll designs, and sealed filtration systems that trap dander rather than recirculating it. Brands like Riccar, Sebo, and Miele are well-suited for pet households. When you come in, tell us about your floors and your pets and we'll point you toward the right option without overcomplicating it.Do you carry vacuums suited for allergy sufferers?
We do. Allergy sufferers need a machine with a sealed system, meaning the air that goes in doesn't leak back out before passing through the filter. Many mid-range vacuums don't meet that standard. The brands we stock, particularly Miele and Sebo, are designed with filtration quality as a priority. A sealed HEPA-level system traps the fine particles that trigger respiratory issues rather than just moving them around the room. If air quality is a health concern for you or someone in your household, it's worth talking to us about what actually makes a difference.Can I get repairs on a vacuum I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We repair vacuums regardless of where you purchased them. Our shop handles on-site repairs for all major brands, and we offer free repair estimates so you know what you're looking at before committing to anything. We carry bags, belts, and filters for most brands on the market, so parts availability is rarely an issue. Whether you've got an older machine you want to keep running or a newer one that needs attention, bring it in and we'll take a look.What are the real advantages of buying from a local shop versus ordering online?
The biggest difference is what happens after the purchase. When you buy online, you're on your own if something goes wrong. Warranty claims often mean shipping a heavy machine back to a manufacturer and waiting. At Bob's, we handle warranty service on-site. You also get the chance to hold the machine before you buy it, ask questions from someone who has used and repaired these models, and get a recommendation based on your actual situation rather than an algorithm. For a purchase you'll use every week, that kind of guidance tends to pay off.Do you serve customers outside of Erlanger?
Absolutely. We serve customers from across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, including Florence, Covington, Fort Mitchell, Independence, Hebron, Walton, and communities in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties. We also see customers from the Cincinnati and Hamilton County area in Ohio, as well as Lawrenceburg, Indiana. If you're within a reasonable drive of Dixie Highway in Erlanger, we're worth the trip.
