Eureka - Stylus Elite NEC490SE

We have this and for the price and being battery powered its pretty amazing https://a.co/d/eFAIiaP

Sebo E3 from the Vacuum Dr in Utah. He will get you under this budget, provide extra bags, and ship to your door. May even be able to get a nice cordless for quick pickups as well. If you like uprights, go with the Sebo Felix. We just got this and love it. https://a.co/d/ehcSjs6

Im with you on this. I always maintained and cleaned our vacuums but we went back to bagged for our main and will never look back. We also bought a similar setup but for cheaper off of amazon... Eureka stylus Elite NEC490SE. It's been a game changer

I got the Eureka Stylus Elite NEC490 Cordless Stick Vacuum With Self-Emptying Station at Walmart for $169. The only reason I have a cordless vac was for small quick pickups around the kitchen and living room flood, but it can do more. I use the plugin big boy vac for the rest. It is perfect. It stands on it's own so I can grab and pickup in minutes without getting the plugin. It self cleans and charges the battery at the same time. The Dyson is very overrated. I had the V12 Detect $499. I compared both, sent the Dyson back. They both performed similar. The Dyson does not stand on its own and doesn't have the cleaning station. It was a easy choice for me.
