Up to 300? If you can find a Dyson Ball 3 Animal for 300, grab it. Only Shark's top of the line has better hepa performance than the ball.

Same! We have one plug in vac (Dyson Ball Animal 3) for serious cleaning and my daily driver which is a cordless canister. Daily vacuuming with the stick keeps my house so clean in between deep cleans, makes me very happy.

I just got a refurbished (much cheaper) Dyson animal 3 vacuum and it has some serious suction if you need something heavy duty for the weekends. But if your allergies are that severe, you might need to rethink soft flooring 🙁

I’m not sure that you’ll find something powerful enough that’s cordless. I love my Dyson Animal 3. It’s got an annoyingly long cord, but it’s amazing. You can use it on hard floors as well. I have 5 cats. It’s the only vacuum I’ve ever owned that will pick up every last piece of cat fur. And one is a long haired cat, and their fur gets basically sewn into the carpet fibers. lol.

Dyson ball animal 3 is by far the best vacuum for pets. Highest suction upright vacuum and has the fins on the head that prevent hair from getting wrapped up. I’ve had one for years I’ve used with 3 golden retrievers.

Dyson Animal Ball 3…best thing ever

Dyson ball animal 3 + v8 animal but we don't manually vacuum much, just what they drop on furniture or what hair floats around and gets stuck in weird spots. Robot mop/vacuums handle most everything for 2 pyrs by running 1-2x/day on a schedule, depending on the area and the specific robot.
