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 didn't know about the anti-tangle brush thing? That's disappointing.... But then again I'm still using a Dyson DC24 because it just won't die and it's easy to repair
I bought used Miele older canister at local vacuum dealer. Owner didn’t want to talk about Dyson.
I like Miele but not sure about canister vs upright.
It’s quiet, & does a great job, & I will keep but
still like the Dyson concept.
I bought Dyson Animal 3 on sale last week.
Also have Dyson cordless handheld & purifiers.
I have original Dyson ball DC24, 15 years old too
I got a DC24 over 10 years ago, and the only issue was a clog in the hose. That was super easy to push out, and it was great. The only thing I had to replace over the years was the brush-roller in the base of it, which was about $50 (if I remember correctly). It's been going strong ever since, and is super easy to take apart to clean when I need to.
