I feel this so hard. We've always had 2-3 cats in the house and have killed 4 vacumns in the past, 2 of them brand new. 23 years ago, my MIL gifted us a vintage Electrolux (circa 1970 I think) canister vacuum for our wedding. I thought it was odd, getting something used for our wedding. HOWEVER, this thing is the best damn vacumn I have EVER had. I swear it'll suck up small children if you're not careful. If I lift the head slightly as I pull back slowly, it gets a good seal and pulls up the most stubborn hair off thick carpet. Performed way better than my parent's Kirby in side-by-side tests, (we were bored and bets were made okay??) The beater bar takes a bit to clear of my hair but nothing a pair of scissors can't handle. Clogs have been easy to clear. Haven't ever had issues finding bags for it either. It's bonkers that this thing is probably as old as I am and is still an amazing workhorse. They do not make vacumns like that anymore. It is absolutely worth hunting down if you can find one on ebay or a local shop. I can give you pics if you want.
I personally prefer a canister vacuum because of all the attachments that can get under and behind things. I still use a vintage Electrolux canister vacuum. That thing has lasted through 2 Dyson canister vacuums (I clean house for a living) and still keeps on purring. I got a little fitting online so Ll my Dyson attachments fit on the Electrolux hose. I also have a LeVoit rechargeable hanging on the kitchen wall for quick pick-ups. I love a rechargeable for that and they are great if you have pets to keep after shed hair daily.
