Dyson Gen5Outsize Absolute for all manual vacuuming. Then A Narwal Flow upstairs and a Roomba 690 for the basement
Gen 5 outsize but beware their customer service is horrible, one of the worst ive experienced to date. Its been outsourced to india and they use weaponized incompetence in order to make your life as hard as possible during any warranty issue. Ive been 1.5 months without a vacuum now because theyve approved replacement but the warehouse team cant seem to figure out ship it out and the supervisor CS person doesnt have a direct line to them. 7 hours wasted on the phone so far... My hourly rate is higher than price of the vaccum so id be better off just buying one but im gonna keep pestsring them till i get my warranty replacement out of principle. Im currently using a Ridgid shop vac as a hold me over. Coincidentally it works super well and is much cheaper while have superp customer service lol Dyson CS has gone so far down hill I remember having an issue 7 years ago and they still had US based cs. The phone call lasted 10 minutes and I got my replacement part in 3 days .... How far theyve fallen. If they were publicaly traded Id be shorting their stocks at this point.
I have a Dyson stick vac. It came with a soft head for wood floors and a rotating brush for carpeted areas.
I don't see a model number on it and I've had it for a few years so it's probably changed. [This one ](https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/gen5/outsize-hepa-nickel-blue?_gl=1*50hlhr*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvtzLBhCPARIsALwhxdpdNo793aQcKemdhkb84LgtO20qMe8PhoAe-kQSVv40O5g6m6lSswQaAg2sEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAAob0X4ZrXlyaawWy9x9EJUkytMSqx#box) looks close but mine had a lot of accessories as well as a stand for charging.
I have a Dyson Gen5outsize Absolute and it's amazing. I use it on the bed too since she likes to lay up there. It came with a free pet grooming kit you can attach to the vacuum so when you brush them the hair gets sucked up at the same time. I know you said you didn't want to spend too much but definitely worth the investment.
I think my gen5 with fluffy laser is awesome. All of my floors are solid surface. I use it all the time, and the laser lets me see where I need to clean.
I had the Dyson outsize, it croaked after several months and Dyson didn't have a filter for it, so they upgraded me to the new gen15 outsize. The thing costs about 2x, is more powerful, comes with a second battery and and amazing cloth roller head with a laser light that makes dust and debris glow. Never had a vacuum that worked so well. Return only took about 2 weeks. Very pleased, just hope this one lasts...

I use the Dyson, Gen5 outsize. This is what I had before getting our girl and it does a good job.. it’s also practical to vacuum the hair out of the car. But I would truly recommend a Shark Upright Vac, those things truly do an amazing job picking up dog hair 🐕
Dyson Gen5 outsize. The only thing that has pissed me off is that I've had 2 of the vacuum heads fail. Dyson has had no stock to replace them for 12+ mths and have to send you a new machine. The only caveat is that you have to send your own vacuum back prior. It's wildly inconvenient.
Idk I bought my Gen 5 Outsize Absolute at an auction for $198 and its been great over the past year. I use it everyday and rotate between the two batteries. It still sucks the same as the day I bought it.
Máme Gen 5 asi půl roku, máme doma pevné podlahy lino a dlaždice a menší nízký koberec, 2 psi a s vysavačem maximální spokojenost, vysáváme denně celý byt, je perfektně vysáto do 15 minut a od doby pořízení se doma o dost méně práší. Vysoká pořizovací cena sice je ale jak často kupuješ něco jako vysavač?
