CleanView Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I have 2 long-haired cats and 1 with mink-type fur (shiny coarse guard hair with a downy underfur). Its summer and they are shedding like its an Olympic sport. I just had all the carpets replaced with vinyl flooring. I run a roborock robot vacuum in a hard floored room of the house every day. It picks up hair I didn't even notice was there. I have a shark handheld that I use on steps and some tough to get to corners daily. I bought a Bissell clear view allergen vacuum with the pet turbo brush that is excellent for getting fur off the cat towers. The vacuum was not expensive but I only have 1 rug, 2 cat towers and 3 bedrooms - so its great. I love that it has a clear cannister so I can see it working.

I've got 3 cats and long hair, the Bissell 2252 cleanview's been keeping up. Amazon has a returned green vac for $91

If at any moment money is a concern you can get a good Bissell vacuum at walmart for like 150 bucks. Something like a powerforce helix, cleanview, or anything in that style. I remember I bought one in 2013 and it was amazing for the buck. However not sure how is a powerforce helix now a days. I had a cleanview a couple months ago and it worked quite awesome but ate a ziptie and lost suction. However, great vacuum still should last you around five years. If your apartment is in Miami I'd choose dyson animal since they are in fact powerful. However they are at the 400-650 dollar price range. I have a Dyson DC24 used (old) which I recently got and its awesome. Dosen't pick much as a heavier vacuum but the ball technology is awesome and its fun to use so I can imagine how the new ones would be. I'd stay away from cordless vacuums. They are weird and when you use one it feels weird and it feels like its gonna die for some reason and are not as powerful. The heavier the better I feel tho.

I have two vacuums: I bought the Shark Rocket Pro, coded, have no regrets. Cord is silly long, I’ve really abused it for its size and it comes back for more. Only downfall? Not enough attachments. So I ordered generics from Amazon, and it’s made it a 10/10 vacuum for my application. The second is a Bissell cleanview. Don’t hate it. It’s just way too large (exactly why I got a second, cord is short and holding it while doing steps was dangerous imo) and the power head was very disappointing for pet hair pick up. It also has a silly amount of filters to clean. It’s great for hard floors though.

You can buy Dyson-remanufactured Ball Animal III on the Dyson Outlet store for $150, plus tax. Not sure on shipping. If you have to stay under $100, the Bissell CleanView is the one I’d go with. There is a bagless version, but, if you are concerned about filtration at all, you can at least get hepa cloth bags for those with a seal so that they filter decently well.

The Bissell cleanview is a good budget option, and the shark powerdetect is pretty good too but they won't compare to the performance of a good corded vac like Miele or Sebo. you can find a breakdown of the best options [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/user/Working-Hawk-1982/comments/1neh4hg/the_best_cordless_stick_vacuums/)
