My recommendation will come at a surprise for you because it is not a Shark, Dyson, Sebo, Miele, Riccar or Kirby. For people who have pets and want a long lasting vacuum that can handle pet hair well, my best recommendation is to look at Kenmore. In my own wrong opinion, Kenmore is a very overlooked brand because everyone wants a Shark, Sebo, Miele, Riccar, or something else ungodly expensive. My parents have had a Kenmore for years and it hasn't shown any signs of stopping. I use a Kenmore to clean a hair salon, so I know they can hold their own with various lengths and magnitude of hair.

We have a 1500 sf townhouse with a basement and the Kenmore Elite Litening has been amazing. We can do multiple cleanings on one battery/charge. We bought the one with two batteries but the model with one battery is $250, right where you need to be. It replaced our plug-in upright. https://a.co/d/aCTWhVX

I love our cordless Shark Ionflex IC205. It is going on 6 years with original battery. I love the duoclean brushes and it has great suction. We just replaced our 15 year old upright with the Kenmore Litening. It has a 24v battery and I vacuumed my living room on normal and then put it on max to re-vacuum and it only used 30% of the battery. The listing on Amazon comes with two batteries for under $300. Not sure if it's available in Europe but it's worth looking at.

I got a Kenmore Elite Litening. Got it for under $300 on Amazon and it came with an extra battery. Way more powerful than our Shark Ionflex. (which we still love). We got the Kenmore to replace our 15 year old upright that melted the brush roller...
