I'm still using a 7 year old Dyson Animal-Allergy.

Dyson Animal Big Ball , plug-in. The pet hair attachment is great plus the main foot too. All the other attachments are ++ but for pet stuff they’re the stars Def not cordless. If I use my bf’s stick Dyson on the rug then use my Dyson there’s a noticeable difference!!! The stick is for quickies 😜

Canister vacuum: Dyson cinetic big ball (no maintainance) / Dyson big ball (filter to maintain) Both have hygienic bin emptying (your finger doesnt go near the waste disposal area) It’s easy to reach around due to the extendable wand. Upright: Dyson ball upright vacuum (any) theyre easy to maintain, they have hygienic bin emptying, and they have a long wand on the back thats easy to use with the on board tools. Cordless: Dyson v12 (it’s small and uses a button power system, easy to manoeuvre) / Dyson gen5 (it’s normal size, uses a power button system and had a built in crevice and dusting brush combo). Both have hygienic bin emptying

Ok so firstly, never buy a shark. They’re some of the worst vacuums in the long run and break easily also shark bins are super small. If you want a Dyson corded, they sell the ball origin and the ball animal (discontinued on Dyson’s website) for £250-£300 so a little over budget. I personally prefer Dysons as bagless uprights as they’re super powerful and easy to use. The only downside is that they’re a little heavy compared to most vacuums. If there is anything else specific or of your not willing to get the Dysons because you don’t like the reviews or design or price just let me know in a reply.

We've had a Dyson cinetic ball for about 5 years and it's awful. I've seen posts about Miele and sebo but theirs look like it's all $1000+? Are there any decent vacuums around $600??

Well, considering I can repair my Dyson, and I have before, my cinetic has lasted me 6 years so far and still going strong. My ball animal 3 is going on 4 years now.

I have a plug in big ball dyson that I bought in 2016 and I work as a cleaner so that baby gets used at least 3x a week for a couple of hours. It's one of the best vacuums I've ever owned ( my favourite is the Electrolux) The sucking power and the head swivel, the interchangeable parts all have stood the test of time. I love that i can dismantle the head for cleaning it. I highly recommend this vacuum to everyone. I do absolutely hate the dyson stick vacuums though!!!

I'm on my second Dyson Animal upright purchased in 2018. Still works great. I also have a Dyson stick vac and use it daily for touch ups. I love Dyson.

That’s the one I have, and it is great, but it just doesn’t seem to get the stairs done well. It’s also pretty unwieldy on the stairs. Taking the extension tube off the Dyson stick vacuum and directly attaching the power head makes it a lot easier, but it just does not seem like it’s doing the best job. It’s ok, but if I was cleaning the place like it was to be rented as an Air BnB, for example, I’d worry that guests might comment about the look of the carpeting on the stairs. Just a data point: the carpeting is only 18 months old and a taupe color.
