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
We pair a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 with a Eureka Cordless Stylus NEC490SE and wife loves it. One for deeper cleans the other for everyday messes
Eureka Stylus NEC490SE is worth every penny
Kenmore Intuition BU4050 and Eureka Stylus Elite NEC490SE. Under budget and all you ever need
Honestly for the price it's hard to beat the Eureka Stylus NEC490SE from amazon. Cant talk about longevity since it's only been 6 months but so far it's great for the cost. Can always add the extended protection from amazon too. Dont expect it to be as good as a corded vac but for every day quick pickups it's been great
Eureka Stylus NEC490SE has done us well for everyday quick pickups. Then we use our Sebo for deeper longer cleans
Eureka Stylus NEC490SE has been a blessing for us
We got a Eureka Stylus Elite NEC490SE from amazon and its been great for quick pickups
We went the route of a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 for more deep cleans and a Eureka Cordless Stylus Elite NEC490SE for daily quick pick ups. Been pleased with both. We also own 2 Sebo canisters but use those for our cleaning business
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.
